How you make toons names and surnames?

In the Western fantasy tradition, some races have Gaelic-influenced names, others Nordic, Old English, or Latin. I like to skim through online dictionaries to get a feel for how words are structured in those languages. Then I piece together syllables that sound good together. After writing down maybe 20 or 30 ideas in a given language, I whittle it down to the most aesthetically pleasing words. Then I carve them up until I create the perfect name.

Ogres and Trolls are fun because their 'language' isn't rooted in any European dialect. I have a system where I omit certain consonants and vowels and limit the names to two syllables. It's really easy once you get a feel for it.

Gotta be careful what you name your toon. Lot of sensitive PC bitches that will tell on you if they don’t like it.

I often have a theme for each game. In Shadowbane I named all my characters after comedians, for example: Lenny the Bruce, Belushi theDeadOne, etc.
