For those who are name challenged...

http://www.behindthename.com/random/
Behindthename.com is a name database site I've used for 3 years now, for naming my sims and my create-a-wrestlers (CAWS) on the Smackdown Vs. Raw series of video games. They have a HUGE database of names, and you can even mix and match names. The way it works is you check off the dialect of the names you want generated, the select what gender you want generated and how many names you want generated. After that, hit generate a name and VIOLA!!! You can hit refresh on the screen that shows your generated name for it to automatically generate another name, and it even gives you the entomology of each name when you click it. Have fun with it, folks.

Oh, man. I can't even begin to describe my love for that website. I've been going there for five years. I don't do the random thing a lot, but the database is amazing. I have an obsession with names, so it's like heaven for me.
I spend at least an hour on that website each time I name a character in my writings.

Oh, wow, I didn't even know this existed. Usually, I end up resorting to babynames.com (which has a lot of pop-ups), but this is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing, I'll use it from now on.

I've never had a problem with names, but for those times when I need some help
this is my bible
. I bought it... oh good lord... at least ten years ago and have taped the cover back on a few times LOL. It is an awesome book, divided by country of origin, then subdivided by gender. Gives the name, it's pronounciation (where necessary), it's origin, meaning and variants. It's 574 pages of name goodness!

Wow! That's like a bajillion names, Joy! Ha ha!
I usually twist up a weird name. Summerlynne, isn't so weird, but I have never met a Summerlynne in my life. Or heard of one.
Brianne is pretty unique I guess.
Jeighleigh, Lol.
Bhrett? Pretty! (For Girls)
Aryanna. I don't think it's used enough.
And sometimes, I use boys names for girls names, for fun.
Hayden
Tyler
Dorian (I know a girl named Dorian, but I think it's more boyish, but okay either way.)
Could someone give me some boy names? (That website won't spit out any boy names I like.)
I have a never ending list of names for the girlies, but about 3 for boys. Seriously. Please help me?

Yeah i know right that website really is good stuff!
i looove it, especially since i love names and looking up
the meanings behind them and things (i often try to look up
names that aren't religiously orginated [since im not
religious]). i mean a little bit is okay but the whole "gods messenger"
or "the one who surrenders themselves to god" just feels like..
too much. anyways sorry for ranting i just love looking up names
and stuff and i must say that sharing that site here was just a great idea!

Woah! Where has this site been all my life?! I am slightly (just slightly) obsessed with names and I've never heard of this! *Adds to favorites immediately!*

Rylan (obviously!)
Dylan
Aleksei
Nikolai
Ayden
Just to name a few! Thank for mentioning the great site, kaoz666 =)
