Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Wow Very nice! It will be a good addition to my "names and their meanings" info I've been looking up.

Thanks for sharing!

Nope, sorry. Wheel of Trust gave that website a big fat red warning ("Poor reputation"). Not going there.

However, I would hope that the list includes my personal fave: Boudicca. She rocked the hizzy!

I tried Lloth 2 years ago with my girl, wife didn't approve. I said why not, the name will wear on ya (only j/k of course). Her replied, "Rob, we are not naming out daughter after the Bitch spider queen..." Ah, well, it was worth a try.....

Then again, I don't know what I would have said if she was cool to the idea. Either jump up for joy, or cringe....

One of my favorite sections to Mongoose's Ultimate NPCs was the section with random tables for names. It had them listed by ethnicity, and even had some Tolkienesque fantasy tables for Demi-Humans and stuff.

What's Wheel of Trust? An internet security software dealie? Mine didn't flag the site, but if it turns out to be dangerous, my apologies to anyone affected.

Yeah, plus everybody kills Lolth at some point or another. It's almost a right of passage.

Plus there is the Gary Gygax "Book of Names" by Troll Lord Games, once upon a time.
