Topic Subject: The Unit Name Thread-Give me a unit, I'll make a name
posted 03-09-03 07:27 PM CT (US)   
Hello folks, I've decided to open this thread for those frustrated scenario designers who just can't come up with the name for that fictional character. Be it French or African, Russian or Asian, British or Indian.

Just tell me what unit it is and what 'faction' he's fighting for. I don't want to give a Mongol name to a Spaniard.

Well, when you have made a new civ for your campaign, you have to be more general. It doesn't matter, those names are great. How do you get them anyway? Off the top of your head or from some sort of program or website?

You want full names?

Here are first names:

England 1600's:

John

Richard

Mortimer

George

William

Henry

Donald

Eustace

Mary

Idrid

Elizabeth


As for last names, be creative. For England, sometimes the last name would begin with a Mc, such as Mckellan. Also try names that you might even hear in America, but perhaps slightly altered. Or try colors, such as Mortimer Green.

French Names:

First:

Jean

Pierre

Charles

Basil

Catherine

...cut me some slack here. I'm good at making up names.

Spanish Names:

First:

Jose

Maria

...I'll think of some more and those Irish names later...

Oh, and by the way, the names would be from the 1100's.
