Answer 3

Well, the names you need depend on the character's culture, background and profession. I suggest looking up some of the names at the site below or browsing their selection based upon heritage and culture.

Cheers! BTW, I love this site and have given "English" names to many learners based on the phonetics of their original name, the meaning of their original name, or the meaning that their parents wanted to convey in their English name. It has been a challenge and a pleasure doing so... thanks to sites like these!

Answer 4

Anything Bibilcal would be good. Also check out www.sca.org. They're a medieval recreation group, that site is stuffed with info on the period.

Answer 5

Try making them actually mean something. For example, Kynton means lives on the King's manor. Gregory means watchful. Bennett is Latin for "blessed". Also Latin and Greek derivations are good: Anselm, Servetus, etc. For more, take a look at these data bases:
