This one’s good too for when you’re not sure what you want. And you can search for first names, middle names, surnames, and so much.
Then I tend to look here a lot when I have a type of name in mind too.
Both of those are really good too

THANK YOU <3
I will add all of these to the main post soon owo
also for my fellow procrastinators/overthinkers/ihavenoideawhereiamgoing people, here are a few things I did that made me finish my charas a lot faster (THEY MAY NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE BUT)
- I made a short pinterest moodboard for each chara and short playlist (as in only about 10-20 pins or less + 6 ish songs I felt matched their energy)
- I made a little mindmap with my chara in the middle bc I am a visual learner.
- I tried to stick to 8 traits for personality - 3 pos, 3 neg and 2 neutral (neutral meaning they can be a positive trait sometimes but also be negative in other situations)
- I tried to keep the bg info relevant to their persona / ambitions / fears to avoid my usual info dump
- I integrated a few cultural values into their bg from the cultural encylopaedia which was very helpful info to have (i.e collectivist cultures value family and community a lot)

I finished my characters but I should also make a moodboard tbh. It helps with writing the character better when I have a vibe

For the fcs, I sent them without a link because I made slight color edits)

I should specify that I’m looking for gender neutral names.

Sorry I resolved those bc I forgot to say you sent them to me but I pasted them in our file ~ I am maybe somewhere between the sign-ups I am kind of flaoting between everyone’s
THEY ARE SO FUN TO HAVE TBH I think it might also help me stay in character too

Yes! This definitely helps.
I’ve done playlists for characters in other RPs that I’ll add to as the RP goes on and I find more songs that fit.
I’ve also made mood boards for other RPs, but also here.
If anyone is interested, this is the one I made for my girl here too

I think nameberry was mentioned, but anyway it lets you sort by gender neutral names (also their length, origin, meaning, etc)
Ohh that’s fine! I’m sure you guys are flooded with responses now
Ikrr I have one for every character but I didn’t do any for these two
