  • When I start work on a new setting and have a rough general idea of the cultures that will inhabit it, I pick countries that I think are somewhat culturally comparable and look up lists with common names from those countries. Then I make myself a big list of names that I think sound like decent names for characters in my setting and copy them all into one big list of NPC names sorted by culture. If I need an NPC name later, I can go to that list. If nothing on the list seems fitting, I at least have a good pool of references for the sounds and letters that are common for that culture and can make up names that sound similar to the actually existing ones.
