Meh; they will change all the names and cast random Americans anyhow for the movie version.

Ethan Cobb

Six seasons and a movie will never come to fruition will it?

These days there are online "RPG name" generators, but back in the day I used to have actual paper lists of background characters from various fantasy novels, in case I needed a NPC name in a hurry... * Except farmers. farmers were always called "Bob" or, if they were a rich farmer, "Robert." Bob often had a new shovel he was proud of. Robert would have a high quality, possibly magical shovel, of course. This was an "in joke", but as the party that generated that "in joke" wasn't usually the party encountering the farmer, this often led to puzzled expressions.

Forrier the Warrior. Mytor the Fighter. Harbaryan the Barbarian. I think we have a full party, though there may be room for Hassan the Assassin.

Merle Blue

Moog the Rogue... he's a Warforged originally designed to be part of an artificial orchestra.

Just say "It's short for a full name that would make your bones melt and your eyes turn to ash in their sockets."

Daryl Sawyer

lol, Marik the Cleric. Like Megan the Vegan.

I once named a demon (until that moment unnamed) Ix because I thought it looked cool, only to have one of the players crack up because it sounded like I was saying Eeks!

Calvin-Skye

'Julian, Miles, Ki...' I know the missing name is probibly 'Kira' given the DS9 connection, but my brain first went to 'Kintobor'!

I love the name "Marik the Cleric," but now I also have this image of a shifty guy with a golden rod sending people to the shadow realm

KC

Don't forget Mohg the Rogue

I assume Marik the Cleric was aided by Mizzard the Wizard and Morlock the Warlock? Thank goodness the mayor's brother didn't get involved. The mayor would've said, "This is Mother, my brother". :-)

Some Ed

Ah, but one of them was entirely occluded and the other only showed 1/4 of the letters. I think that means it's a significant name, but that detail is hidden right now. Much like another thing. That's right, the cleric was Marik Bean. I'm not sure what significance that has, but I'm confident that answer matches my headcanon.

Michael Chui

Since "Bean" appears twice in that list, clearly it was the correct choice.

I seem to recall running a game with an unplanned NPC named Zebalzibebgay, and then later opting to add his brother, Zebazibalgay. That had been good for laughs, but not for game play. If I recall correctly, they did accidentally get a few surprise siblings because I myself could not consistently pronounce them correctly, despite being the idiot who came up with them.
