I wouldn't suggest using a name generation thing to make the characters though. I often tell my players to use dictionary.com , and then just enter something into Spainish or french or something. So The wizard could be called Zauberer, Which is german for wizard.

There are some wicked foreign names that many have probably never heard about. Just click "browse by origin" on the left column and choose what you want. I mean, Mykelti (African), Beriszl (Hungarian), Myrrh (Egyptian), these are just a few awesome names to list.

I use this often for good charicters.

Babel Fish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr)

If you want to translate a word into a dozen languages, this is the site to do it at.

I put in words that fit and then set the search for "this meaning" to find names from various cultures that fit the character.

02-15-06, 01:48 AM The Ever-Changing Book of Names (http://ebon.uni.cc/) is, quite simply, the best name generator I've run across yet. It's free as shareware, but if you like it, I'd suggest you go ahead and pay the $6 to register it, as it will generate literally dozens of names with one click if you do.
