Wondering if you guys have any suggested Pathfinder Character Name Generators?
I found this one, but it isn't Pathfinder centric. (e.g. Dwarven names from the Five Mountain Kingdom).
Anyone have a suggested site?
There is a Character Name Generator for D&D

I like the one(s) in PCGen personally. Set it to modern and US Census and click away.
I am experimenting with random word generators on my Traveller5 web site: http://www.heldenhaufen.de/T5/WordMaker
Some words from certain languages make cool fantasy names, at least in my opinion. I also wrote a little program to derive new language generators from word lists/texts (I used 1M and 300K words for German and English). If someone could give me some longer texts or word lists I could run them through this program an upload the generator on a new site for word generation.
Language "Elanhir" is available now (http://www.heldenhaufen.de/T5/WordMaker).
Just added French, Italian and Latin to the mix of languages.
Just moved the Word Generator to its own site: http://heldenhaufen.de/Wg/
Anymore word lists to publish?
Niiiice.....
I just updated the site with a new experimental algorithm to yield "more realistic results".
I like the unrealistic ones though...
I keep'em both and for each new language I will create both variants.

AWRIGHT!
I just added Frisian, Lakota, and Turkish - and reorganized the links.
The Word Generator is now available as an offline-Win8 App.

will it ever be an android app?
will it ever be an android app?
Maybe. But not that likely (I am currently not doing any Java at the moment and using .NET directly on Android would force me to spend a lot of money).
EDIT: But it will likely become available as a Windows Phone app...

Oh, my. OK, I'll give it a try. But before starting: what version of Android?
Uh...the most recent?
I'm really bad at knowing what version of android I'm running.
Uh...the most recent?
Ah, OK. So I will target Android 4.0 and up.
Besides, it isn't that hard to get an app up and running for Android, I realized today (it's almost done). What is hard, at least for me, is letting it look great... (this may take some time, or a second version)
I am really looking forward to this!

Good news, I tested the app successfully on several devices and just released it for free - it's my first Android App ever!
It may take a few hours until the link will work, though: Word Generator
There is a good chance to port other apps to Android, too, especially Grimoire. But to raise the necessary funds to upgrade from Xamarin Starter to Indie, I will have to sell the next version of Word Generator for a buck or so.
YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY!!!!!!!!!!
Am willing to pay a buck for this.
Also, looking at your stuff, I would really need the magical item and weapon generators up for android as well. Am willing to pay a buck!
Glad you like it. Let's keep fingers crossed in hope for Win8 sales to increase so that I can upgrade and port Grimoire and the Magic Item apps to Android.
For all Win8 users: Word Generator for Win8+ now supports loading your own custom languages! Just put together a list of sample words and paste them into the online form to create your own language!
Boo Windows 8! Hiss! Lol. My computer runs xp.
Thanks!
Today I added a paid version for Android that supports custom languages like the Windows version does: Wg Pro
I just wanted to let you know, I really like this app. Also, Frisian is an interesting one. Just generated "Smidendbeddkantasensmeenfestimmelkornpohlorereren." Definitely the name of my new character ;)
Thanks, solitary_solidarity!

This Random Golarion Name Generator on D20 PFSRD is the best I've ever seen. It allows for you to pick the ethnicity of your character and up to 20 random names by gender. The caveat is that this only picks human names. For other race names I usually use DonJon's or John's various generators. BTW there are some great generators on both of those sites for a LOT of other topics/ideas. Use as necessary.
