List of Fantasy-Sounding Names

If you have gamemastered for any length of time, you've been there. An NPC wanders onto the scene to pass some vital piece of information to your players. Then it happens.

"What's his name?" they ask. You stammer, trying to come up with something.

"His name is.... <stall>... Bob!" You add lamely, "Bob the mighty?"

Crap, you've done it again. Now you're stuck with a stupid name. Worse, what if the NPC needs to stick around for a while. It's a constant reminder to players that you weren't prepared.

Well, never again. Below, you'll find a gaggle (that's a quantifiable measure, BTW) of great, fantasy-sounding names. Now when you need to come up with something, print out these names and keep them handy. You'll always have a great name in a pinch. Enjoy!
