Character Generation - Names [29MAR08] c_names.htm

NAMES - Random name generation (according to race, gender and region)
Choose a name for your character, or roll one from the following tables. If you don't like the name you receive (after all, it will probably have been chosen by the character's parents) - go out and make a name for yourself! (NB: When a re-roll indicates further re-rolls, only one addition should be made.)
