...whether you ever used them in a game or not, or read it somewhere in a novel. They can be cool names like Feather. Whatever.

I'll start:

Talamon (real middle-eastern name)
Skyfe (I invented it, yet Urban Dicitonary says it's...)
Euron
Orr
(from a Richard K. Morgan SF novel)
Sayyida
Simemon
Semetaire
(from a Richard K. Morgan SF novel)
Lobuu
Ah'Navor

I don't know how good they are but I use EBoN and put in names for every city, some for races and then a few for slave tribes hopefully to distinguish them.  We have done enough outside the city or met enough for it to matter so far. 

Here is a sample for giants. 

Sprado
An
Kange
Samlow
Firrus
Celbar
Pindar
Mottong
Tactus
Ankge 

I am terrible at names so have to have this ready during gaming!

Klaxx'kha (translated from Kreen as Little Stalker that knows)
G'narra Ehlbrenne (Non-kreen name for the same person above)
Sa-rea Ehlbrenne
Riik’tik (Kreen for Fire Hunter)
Nnn’tkk (Kreen for All-Tell)
Kta-cho (Kreen for Returner of Lost Knowledge)

Yes, I made up a whole clutch of Kreen based around my half-elf character's background.

Cute Pen, but clutchmates don't eat other clutchmates.  That would rude Tongue out Laughing.

One of these days I'm going to finish the short story based on that characters game history, I really should start working on that again...

I first played Dark Sun when I was either 14 or 15yrs old, and by far my favorite character was a Human, Elemental Priest of Earth/Psionicist.  I got his first name from a brief character in "The Elenium" trilogy by David Eddings.  I believe it was the first book, "The Diamond Throne" but I could be mistaken.  It's been a while.  His last name I just wanted to fit the setting a bit more.  Anyways, the name is:

Volin Dustdune

I've waited so long to convert him to the new rules and I can't wait to introduce my players to him.  Of course now he'll be an NPC since I'll be the only DM for our Dark Sun campaigns, but I'm completely fine with that.  Acording to the new rules, I doubt I can make him an Elemental Priest/Psion.  I think I'll have to make him a:

Volin Dustdune, Human World Spirit Shaman (Theme: Elemental Priest)

Yeah I might have to drop the whole Psion portion which is fine.  He was only a Psionicist to someday tranform to an Elemental.

I had a half-giant gladiator named Andre.  I considered And instead of Andre.
