Naming conventions


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


Would it be possible to get naming conventions for the different cultures of Golarion? While the RotRL Players' Guide had some suggestions for Varisian and Shoanti names, I haven't found any since, even in the Gazetteer.

I'm assuming the Campaign Guide will probably have some info in this regard, but a handy selection of male/female names for the different cultures would be useful as a separate entity (a blog entry, perhaps?).

Your right. We do need more help in this area.

Good assumption!

I might be able to suggest some alternatives to finding names for your characters. I have found a couple of websites that have name generators on them: http://direpress.bin.sh/tools/

http://www.kessels.com/WordGenerator/NameGenerator.html?Kind=0

I have also used the name listings in Ultimate NPCs. There is also Gygax's Book of Extraordinary Names.

I am sure there are more name generator's out there, but I agree that a resource of Golarion based names would be appreciated.
