I use a file with 1000s of names in it and pick a random one myself. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I even tend to name each ship individually. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Eh? Set what up? My design name files? They are all in the Design Names Anthology...

I would recommend a program called the Everchanging Book of Names, which is what I used to generate a bunch of Tolkien design name files. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Eh? put them in a php script that randomly generates say a list of 100 names or so for people. They log onto your web site, go to the NAME GENERATOR, and press generate names. The generator then genorates a list of about 100 random names from the HUGE list you have. Did I answer your Eh? question?

Umm... yeah... or I just point them to the Everchanging Book of Names program and save myself the work. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Random name generation is rather complicated.

You are an odd one...

se5a, I could not get that generator to work... perhaps it just hates non-IE browsers... will have to check with IE in the morning.
