Human name generator

Human names carry the most weight in a fantasy setting precisely because they are the baseline everything else is measured against. These lean vaguely medieval-European without belonging to any real period, which keeps them usable in almost any campaign without accidentally importing real-world history you did not want.

For a quick trick with regional flavour, decide that one suffix belongs to a specific city — everyone from the port is a Marlowe or a Kestrel — and suddenly your world has geography in it.

This is also the pool the NPC generator uses for ancestries without their own naming tradition, so names rolled here will match the characters it produces.
