I've gone through alot of namechanges, but they were all minor. I had the gist of what I wanted names to be when I made the party, and changed certain letters to make things smoother...
Darkon - Male Dwarf Warrior/Samurai
Saurynne - Female Human Priest/Paladin
Valkas - Male Ratling Rogue/Ninja/Assassin
Lo'maan - Male Omphaaz Wizard/Warlock
Morgar - Male Gourke Warrior/Barbarian/Ranger
Bevelyn - Female Pixie Priest/Monk
I've always been one to try and come up with my own names. Having read MANY fantasy novels, and played many RPG's and DnD adventures...I have a good feel for what kind of names run smooth in fantasy settings but I can still come up with my own original ones every time I create a party for a game. I've thought of writing a program, but there are other programs out there for name generating and I don't know that it's a popular thing. I do have the kind of originality to be able to write a good one though. I just start by saying "what should the first letter be?" then "what would a good sound by for the ending?" "how can i spell that in a fancy way?" "how can i progress from the first letter to the ending in a way that rolls off the tongue but fits the common style of the character's race/background?"
