He tells you his name is Jimmothy Plimmothy.

I keep a pregenerated list of on-theme names and just cross them off as they get used. It's the perfect crime.

I grab relevant Japanese and butcher it until it sounds vaguely fantasy-Western. Never fails.

One of the best parts about running Apocalypse World is that the gag of looking around the room and naming a character after something you see is perfectly in keeping with the setting.

Gib Piblet at your service. Yes, of the Candle keep Piblets.

I keep losing my list

Way better collection of names than Fantasy Name Generator

Ah yes, Line of Sight Name, The Pretender's mo

Forget the names, look at ALL the tools.

Thanks, bookmarked. I don't have a group right now, but that is damn handy.

Our sessions usually go:

NPC: "I am known as Nebulox".

PC: "... I'm gonna call you 'Ned'"

DM: "WELL I GUESS ITS NED NOW"

Let's see... Ho Lee Sheet, I need to start doing that. But I guess my players will suspect Sum Tin Wong

Sir Mordak: "Sir Gardakan, I am growing tired of waiting for our new party member's arrival."

Sir Gardakan: "I agree, Sir Mordak. But he could be useful as my squire!"

Boba Fett: "Hey guys! Wait for me!"

I normally DM with my laptop, so or i have it ready to go or i leave a list of names open somewhere for this

My DM used IKEA furniture names.

While reporting on the crash during their noon newscast on July 12th, Bay Area Fox affiliate KTVU co-anchor Tori Campbell reported that the names of the pilots on board were "Sum Ting Wong," "Wi Tu Lo," "Ho Lee Fuk" and "Bang Ding Ow."

On the evening of July 12th, the NTSB issued an apology via press release noting that a summer intern had acted on his own authority by confirming the fake names, and asserted that appropriate action would be taken to assure a similar error would not happen again.

As far as I know, the identity of the intern remains undisclosed.

Oh wow yeah this is awesome:

It's a random campaign generator. You could run a whole one-shot off that, or populate any region in your world at will

I don't even play 5e and I use donjon a lot

"My name is Robert"

"...Dick"

All my characters are either Wolfgang Grindelberg the Third of Abendbrücken (if I had time to prepare) or “uhhhhh… Bob?” if I haven’t.

The Keyser Soze method.
