Re: Name table resources?

I tend to get them from PDFs or the occasional physical book I buy. The latter means re-typing everything in, the former may allow for some copy-and-paste.
There are some older name generators out there that store name data in text files, though none of the program?names come to mind (and most are from the old DOS/Windows 3.1 days, so they may be difficult to find today). Some of the on-line ones may be storing all their data in Javascript, so if you can look at the site source you might be able to get access to their data.
Note that unless otherwise specified?these sources typically are copyrighted, so if you convert them for Tablesmith you probably aren't clear to use them beyond your personal use.

I have created some myself. Arabic, Cambodian, French, German, and Greek. All for an 1890s era game based on census data. Let me know if you want any of those.

There are some in the reference tables that generate a name from random letter sets. Is that what you are looking for? Those tables are easy to manipulate if you need a starting place. Angel, Arabic, and centaur to name a few generate from random letter sets.

Can anyone point me at resources for creating name tables? There are the Tablesmith reference tables, but when I search elsewhere on the web what I find is mostly random-name websites with "We will generate a short list of names for you, but our method is a secret sauce and we won't let you see it." -- Erol K.
