Ye Olde English Random Name Generator Text File



Yesterday I was unable to post both random name generator links in the same blog post. I ended up with posting one functional Male Name Generator in the post while the link for Female Names took you to a separate page on this blog.

The most elegant solution is for those interested to have their very own bookmarked link generated from the Last Gasp Random Table Generator on their own browser. Therefore I'm posting up the text files you need to just copy and past into the table making java tool to accomplish this.






Ye Olde English Random Name Generator

While Forgive Us has a nifty table for generating random names for your Norwich adventures, with only twenty surnames and first names I started getting some repetitive results as the campaign marches on.  I needed something which would give me many more names. Like thousands!

Fortunately sites like Last Gasp provide the answer with the ability to make your own home-grown random generator of whatever you like!

While this way cool tool does have some built in limitations, Zak S. recommends Text Mechanic web site. It allows you to generate text files of every combination of table entries so you can import this back into your random table generator and avoid its individual table entry limits.

I then googled seventeenth century names to compile a large list of names. This has given me over 22,000 possible male names and just over 10,000 female names.

I'm trying to get the links to work right here in blogger and having some difficulty so bear with me.
