Coming up with good fantasy names is one of the harder tricks for the Lazy Dungeon Master. The following script generates a set of hundreds of random names from more than a thousand first names and a combination of words for the last names.

Many of these names will end up as nonsense. Read a few out loud to see how they sound before whipping them out at the table. You can also use the last name combinations as the names of taverns, thieve guilds, or mercenary bands.
