Finding Names for your Characters - List of Resources

Google Translate is your friend, too :-D
Anyway, @harddaysnight, so I started following up on your suggestion and I've added Old English Poems and Scaldic Poetry - no translations of the actual poems but with a word list/dictionary. :-) Exit, pursued by a Plummeting Ursa.

I didn't realize the list was still being updated.
For literature try: http://www.online-literature.com/ It has the full text of poems, essays, short stories, plays etc. I like names from poems because they can have a nice ring to them. I have several from Edgar Allan Poe like: As I nodded nearly napping Deep into the darkness peering Nameless here forevermore I saw similar links but not this one. http://www.babynameguide.com/categorynativeamerican.asp?strCat=Native-American That's the native American page but there are others. A friend takes in rescue animals and names them after Native American names and phrases. I help her name them and kept the bookmarks. Also http://www.native-languages.org/definitions.htm And http://www.surnamedb.com/ Ships, planes, trains, etc http://rwebs.net/avhistory/acdesig/uspopidx.htm http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names/boats.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_named_passenger_trains Last edited by harddaysnight on Jul 9, 2015, 11:16:42 PM

Yes, it's an ongoing project :-) Thanks a lot for your contributions, I would have never thought of e.g. US aircraft names or passenger trains :-D

The names are still not available right? Because I cant get a single name I want yet. It happens at launch?

We're fast approaching 200 links and a lot of them are random generators so - no idea on availability but I've yet to run into problems naming my chars :-D
Anyway, yeah, the new policy might fix some of the naming issues but it's pretty much just a bandaid and not a long-term solution since the requirement of having a unique name hasn't changed. Basically, of the 7633298 people who'll try to grab "Thor", 7633297 will be dissappointed (if Thor is actually up for grabs). Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure that most owners of a "randomly mashed mah keyboard" name can stay away for as long as they want and their names will still be there when they return :-D Good luck though :-) Exit, pursued by a Plummeting Ursa.

Had some fun poking around here, since I didn't play in just over that year mark. RIP my many glorious, and short, names.

Sure, but with naming system like the one here, you can be as creative as you want and spend hours coming up with a great name just to be greeted by "a character with this name already exists" just because it happens to be a popular cat name in another corner of the world for example :-D
Also, people definately have problems with this step, so this list is to minimize the character creation frustration :-) Anyway, snatched this from a post by Dan_GGG: List of NZ approved Fish Names - cool since it also includes foreign languages, too :-) Exit, pursued by a Plummeting Ursa.
