Random character name generator

  1. Just a tiny little button that assigns you a random name. Can be anything.

    Previously suggested here and here.

    Seconded this.
    Unfortunately, I tend to have a fetish for irreverent and often immature names such as Moron, Dummy, Idiot, Buffoon, and the like anyway, so YMMV.

    Oh my god yes, character names that use the same phoneme generator as artifacts!

    Yes please. This would allow my high score board to look like something than a few dozen "Nikolai the Adventurer"s.

    I don't think it oughta be the same as artifact generation though. It should be unique.

    Just bought this game and loving it! But this is one feature I was surprised it didn't have. When I tried rogue-like games that give out or allow random names, for some reason that was one main trait/feature that got me more interested in the genre of rouge-likes. Would make "losing is fun" even easier, as if you die early and your thinking "geez... already have to think of another name again!"

    Some of us don't possess the skill points in our brains to think up too many... :(

    Apparently, it wasn't posted in this thread. But someone posted some effective advice that ended up helping me out a bunch.

    1) Extend and curl fingers in a claw-like fashion over the keyboard.
    2) Smash down on it with your fingers.
    3) Go back, add some vowels, and bam. Instant name.

    I've seen two other people recommend the same thing; one a webcomic artist, the other my former IRL roommate.

    It's clearly common knowledge. Apparently.
