Anyone got a good name for a human male druid?
Quinoa Mung
Treeman ("By the power of Mistletoe ... skull")
Ferocious Oakfriend (okay, he wasn't human, but I thought of that one after reading about Thelonius Monk...)
Garret Freemartin (okay, that was a ranger, but it works)
Drew Greene (more modern)
St. Cuthbert (only in Greyhawk and only with a sense of humor and no fear of attracting the gods' attentions... or rather no great attachment to the character)
Trapper John
Sunshine Willow
randomly combine two names of a plant/tree and animal/natural feature
:)
Peregrido Widendenfook.
Oh how I miss that little bugger. (though he was a halfling not a human.. still!)

Cephalus, a hunter from Greek mythology, is one choice.
A friend of mine named his druid "Druard".
Here are some other options that may help(or have you going through every list of names just to see what yours means!).
Celtic
Aztec/Nahuatl
Native American
Greek
Gypsy and Romani
Flower
Animal
Elfin
Elemental
Or make your own/pick one some one else suggested! That's usually more fun! :)
HErbert
Branches
Zircorn Treefather
Morganna Leafmother
Aschow nowerla'er
Lembas Primulus. And he would always wear a flower on his head.
Anyone got a good name for a human male druid?
How about the name he was born with? (i.e., a normal name and family name)
Scruidiantimus.
Scruid the druid.
Panoramix (or Getafix, if you prefer the English name).
Roy Focker
Succatash
I had one named Stone Dirtigan once... He never wore shirts.
In my campaign there lived a druid npc named Spruce Springsteen.
"They civilized folk like to call me Woodhead".
The Wolves call me "Smells Funny".

I like names like Sammae (Sam Aye), Siobhannon (which I pronounce See Oh Bannon, 'cause I could care about getting it right!), Uinseach (Oon See Ash), Mael (May El), Dannacht (Da Nakt), etc. for my elfy / druidy type characters.
I call it 'pretentious faux Celtic.' I'm also a big fan of pretentious faux Latin names.

Which makes me think of MST3K inspired names;
Biff Timber!
Rock Hardwood!
Bark Longtree!
Plank Morningwood!
Or you could use the Werewolf the Apocalyse 'Wolf with White Eyes' naming convention;
With-Great-Justice!
Licks-Blood-From-the-Spear
Devourer-of-Hearts
Long-Spear-Goes-Stab
Feathers-in-Hair
Eats-Your-Face
Dances-With-Wolves
Polkas-With-Porcupines
Sleeps-With-the-Fishes
Molester-of-Squirrels
Bats-in-the-Belfry
Rock Hardwood!
hmmm... I think I saw that movie back in college... :-}
some cheesy names from various cultures among Tian-Xia. (especially minkai) thier translations may not be 100% accurate. (likely pretty far from it) a lot of them use animesque styles. all of the ones i listed are themed around the snow or the sea.
Yukihana (Snowflower)
Yukiko (snow child)
Umiko (Sea Child)
Umiyuki (sea of snow)
Al Gore

Well, for a blasting Druid...
Hanabi (Fireflower - which is also the japanese name for 'fireworks')
and I think that the correct name for 'Snowflower' is Hanayuki (since the construct is the same), but I could be wrong (or maybe it can be written as Yukihana as well).
For a shapechanging Druid:
Takayuki (Snow hawk) - which is the real name of a japanese friend of mine, btw.
"Druid" doesn't say much. Where's he from? Generic Medieval Land? Then Richard, Charles, Gregory, or any number of Biblical names. Vague Celtia? Find a Celtic name to go with it.
I'm in a game now with an elven druid who's distinctively of the central American jungle variety named Citlalmina. It's so very refreshing to have a party where at least one character isn't generically caucasian.
A good druid name? Something Celtic, since druids are a Celtic phenomenon. You can pretty easily find a bunch of good pagan names that would work for such a thing. http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/welsh-names.html has a pretty good list of them.
I had a Druid/Wizard/Arcane Hierophant named Dylan Woodward. Alright not very Fantasy-esque, but it worked.
I always liked giving my charecters "real" names that are appropriate to their culture. I have never given any of my guys joke or silly names.
Some of my past druid names are
Quinn
Dregean Silver hair(platinum blonde human male)
Kethis of the silver marches.
Perick of the wild wood.
If you want to have a better role playing experiance try to give the charecter a "normal" fantasy name instead of a joke and try to think like your charecter every once in awhile while makeing in game desicions.
