I been a on a bit of a kick with these silly name generator thingies.

I made yet another one that makes a random lunch menu based on real restaurant menus.

Just even more silliness.

My original intention was to replicate a random name generator (I was afraid the word generator over at Oh The Huge Manatee dot net might go away), and I ended up with Happenstance.

Well I finally got around to the name generator and, although it is a simpler, much more limited version of the one over at OTHM dot net, it does the job nicely giving me names that are reasonably spiffy and gives me a quick way to check whether the names might be a little off-kilter.

Go on, give it a try:  http://halytech.net/wownames/index.php

Found a nifty site that will generate random words from a list you provide (finding typical combinations)

Here’s some for more popular names according to race and faction in World of Warcraft (from a compiled list of known NPCS):

• Gnomish Names
• Elven Names
• Draenei Names
• Tauren Names
• Orgrimmar Faction Names

Sometimes it comes up with some clever ones and it assuredly does a better job of offering names than the Warcraft character creation screen.
