Names
From RPGS surrounding the Labcats
Popular First Names by Decade (or Year)
- Top Baby Names for Boys in the US, going back to 1880. (Also for some other countries, but only going back to 1998.)
- Top Baby Names for Girls in the US, going back to 1880. (Also for some other countries, but only going back to 1998.)
Random Names
- Random Name Generator that works from census data, and lets you specify how unusual you want the names to be. With obscurity set to 1, I got names like Nicole Friesen and Lawrence Lippert. Setting it to 99 gave me Noella Haggstrom and Tuan Lingbeek.
Non-Anglophone Names
- Stars Without Number (free edition), a free science fiction RPG (sort of a cross between D&D and Traveller), has tables in the back for coming up with names (Arabic, Chinese, English, Indian, Japanese, Nigerian, Russian, Spanish).
