I found this cool website today that's has a bunch of a random name generators in it from medieval to old west to modern and includes businesses, people, streets, and towns. Even if it's just as a place filler until you come up with something better, it helps those creative juices from becoming unglued. I've seen similar websites elsewhere, but usually just for one type of generator. I often use Cloisworld's: Cloisworld's Random Name generator. Anyway, thought I'd share the wealth for anyone stuck on generating a name for that random reporter Clark introduces Lois to (or vice versa).

Omg, if only I had had this in college! I spent like 3 days obsessively searching baby books for a stupid Muir Writing assignment that I couldn't even begin because I couldn't come up with my character's name! Lol...thanks for that memory!
You can find my stories as Groobie on the nfic archives and Susan Young on the gfic archives. In other words, you know me as Groobie.

Lol...it was a murder mystery, and I had it in my head that the characters' names needed to be clues to the secrets they were hiding. So stupid! I eventually gave up and called them names like John and Mary, took my "you turned something in - B!", and moved on with my life. Writing L and C nfic is so much easier!

So cool! Saved them to my "writing research" folder - I may or may not waste an hour or three playing with them later.

If anything, it might be a good help next time I create a new Warcraft character!
