I'm bad at coming up with names for D&D, it takes me hours to think of them.
My suggestion?

Pick a random consonant, then a vowel, then two consonants, then a vowel, then a consonant.

It doesn't matter what they are.

So, right now, I got the name Feltan.  Last name? Vashet.

It works.

Or,
Can't you just go (noun)(noun) The (noun)(Verb)'er?




Oh yes, and I to take my car in for more repairs today.

Could you tell us what you're trying to name?

I've eaten them several times dude, they are actually really nice. No joke. My mom likes them aswell.

As horrible as it sounds, they really do. Thankfuly they only look like oysters, because oysters taste like crap.

I however, found out that even I can be grossed by eating some animal's eh, "sweet bread". Once I went to a Thai restaurant and noticed they had a soup which included chopped bull penis in it. Out of my own twisted sense of humor and curiousity I asked the manager about it while he walked around checking on customers, and he gave a detailed description on how its prepared. I was genuinely grossed out when he started talking about how they carefuly slice the sweet bread open and clean the uretha of any leftover tracers of urine and semen.

Mental note: Don't eat with asian college students.

I like eating weird foods, I get the eyes when we go fishing and I get duck tongue when we go to Dim Sum or whatever you call it restaurants.

I feel special now, but in all seriousness, if my vat-caretakers went through all the effort to make me think I'm not a brain-in-a-vat, they could've toned down this realities' angst. Especially on television. Shark Week seems to be angst about sharks, and not the sharks themselves.

Don't you know? Sharks are inherently evil, attack humans specificly, and there is nothing wrong with trying to wipe them all out at any cost. Nor is there anything wrong with poisoning the waters of an area because someone got killed by a shark there. The same goes for overfishing them to starvation, to the point where they'll eat anything they can wrap their evil teeth around.

Agh, now even the sharks are angsty. What's worse is all this oil will quickly turn them into mutant sharks!

Some comedian said like would be more interesting if we had to worry about sky sharks! Imagine the horror of taking your dog for a walk.

I gave up on Discovery a while ago. Only Mythbusters is worth watching on that channel. National Geographic (I will not use that new idiot name they have for it.) is running through Taboo again, so it has earned my interest again for now.

Shark can wrap their teeth now? Surely they must be exterminated! Sharks will wrappable teeth shall herald in the apocolypse!

Discovery has actually maintained at least some semi-interesting shows; that's more than can be said for the Siffy channel or the History-of-Alien-Abductions-and-Nostradomus channel.

It's been a while, what's the new name? (Assuming it's not NatGeo)

New enough for me. I don't know how they could have used somthing like that for a name change. Taking halves of real words and jamming them together like that annoys me. It makes me think of Lowest Common Denominator-type people, for some reason.

In terms of cable, I'm down to the History Channel and Comedy Central. The only things I generally watch are now on Netflix, which I should really get for my home.

I always end up with really odd ones...  For example, Subito Accelerando the farmboy/ranger.  There was also Lauz the cleric, which is Arabic for "almond."  I was also going to name someone Göd Eldeus or similar, but that was just too lame >_>

 I just go to a site like Behind the Name and trawl through the names of a random language 'till I find a cool-looking name. That or I search up meanings and use those. But ultimately I always like to use rather simple four or five letter names because even the most spaced out player will be able to remember a four-letter name.

The history channel has been all about aliens, monsters and apocaliptical stuff for a while now, to the point it shouldn't even be called history channel anymore, it should instead be called /x/enophily channel. Even the only marginaly interesting show they have now, the battle of the gods thing, decays toward the end when they start comparing mythology to christianity in a way to make christianity look superior. Seriously, watch the one about Hades, they literally ramble about how Jesus totally pwn hades, using a serious tone, it was hilarious.

Also, the aliens in past thing? Juts take a look at the kind of "specialists" they interviewed. Hint: It includes some writer with a wacky haircut and a horrid tanning job that ends all of his lines with "that's spooky/amazing/incredible!", the guy from their UFO show that apparently sees anything somewhat unusual about anything as proof that aliens are everywhere, and that old guy who sees proof of ancient alien astronauts in every engraved piece of rock he sees.

And the Sci Fi channel still has star trek: TNG, so its still worth something.
