Namegens

Here lies all of my name generators. This is a continuous WIP and will be updated as needed :)If you click on a generator and it happens to be empty, check back again in a few days! It being linked on here means it's on my immediate to-do list.

Thank you for checking my stuff out!

My usual sources:
BTN (prelim.) | Wikipedia 1 2 (prelim.) | Forebears (checking)
I also trawl through lists of celebrities and social media for names too.
Other sources are credited on the associated namegens.
