Way better collection of names than Fantasy Name Generator
- Forget the names, look at ALL the tools.
  Thanks, bookmarked. I don't have a group right now, but that is damn handy.
  
  I don't even play 5e and I use donjon a lot
- That site has such good tools.
- A classic site. Used to use it back in my pathfinder days.

Our sessions usually go:
NPC: "I am known as Nebulox".
PC: "... I'm gonna call you 'Ned'"
DM: "WELL I GUESS ITS NED NOW"
- "My name is Robert"
  "...Dick"
  "..."
He tells you his name is Jimmothy Plimmothy.
- May I call you Jim?

Sir Gardakan: "I agree, Sir Mordak. But he could be useful as my squire!"
Boba Fett: "Hey guys! Wait for me!"
Without exception, all my gith characters are called Apo'stroph'e.
