does anyone know of a decent name generator

By pashacordaro420, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

sorry bout multi posts in one day but i was looking for a name generator I suck when it comes to names so help would be awesome thx

There's a pretty good one in the KOTOR game, if you have that fire it up and create a new character.

unfortunately I did but I played it so many times it doesn't work anymore lol

Wow, you have some nice random generators there. Please, never take it offline :)

I've been kinda partial to the name charts in the back of the Galaxy Campaign Guide that WotC released as part of their RCR product line. Covers most of the PC species (Gand being an exception since they were an "optional" selection in the RCR as opposed to being listed in the core rules).

well you could use the KOTOR, TOR, or SWG name generators...

Seriously, check out MrTact's website. I'll never be stuck for an idea in any game again :)

I posted this about a month ago...

Here's some generators I found...

Racial based options, but limited http://donjon.bin.sh...name/#star_wars

Generic lists of SW names http://www.dimfuture...om/generate.php

Generates 1 generic at a time, but saves them in a list http://www.namegener...e-generator.php

this one generates 1 generic name, but also gives you some background. Might be useful if you are having a problem just coming up with a character idea. http://starwars.namegeneratorfun.com/

And a bonus generator for ship names: http://www.seventhsa...nname=shipnamer

It's flakey at best, but it can be funny. My favorites so far are the Priest's Fetish and the Angry Gigolo. I like to generate 20 names at a time. Chances are none will be good, but you'll get enough ideas form those 20 to make a decent one yourself.

Another Ship name site: http://www.tomshut.d...g/shpnames.html

Donjons works great though, very good as you can get racial names.

I was referring to everything else on his site too. My inns in my fantasy games will never be so boring again

note that the site MrTact posted a link to isn't actually his.

unless posting a link absolutely implies ownership, in which case http://www.apple.com/

you can thank me for your iphone later. ;)

Ah, I didn't look closely. Just assumed (I know I shouldn't do that) based on his post that it was all his creation. Now I see he was just saying he had a link to a name generator. Sigh... That's what happens when I rush. I need to go back to lurking rather than spreading misinformation

Oh God man, I HATE that generator!! "Mat Prig," "Prudy Thrakal," whatever. They SUCK.

I always like to use names from literature, or surnames that sort of follow the SW theme: Skywalker. Starkiller. Solo. Then there's pseudo-Asian names like Obi-Wan or Echuu Shen-Jon.

So, I'll have characters named Dorian Hawkmoon or Corum Solari or Raven Stormcrow. Hell, "Ajax Telamon," straight from the Iliad, is cool. Look around at things you like, and extrapolate from that.

ig bro those are all good names I never really thought about it quite like that ill keep that in mind.

Yes, sorry, I wasn't trying to assert ownership of that site, just linking to it. Should have been more clear there!
