From the back of the book:
Thousands of Names
Names. Whether running the table, creating NPCs, developing characters, creating a genealogy, developing names is a vital part of any role playing game experience. Never easy and often quite challenging, table top gamers strive to create names unique both to the person or creature being created and the role playing experience. The Book of Names helps unravel this age-old problem.
By creating naming conventions that combine personal and family names, syllable elements, and presenting the information in easy-to-use tables of names, you can quickly create a host of names unique to your character and the racial component of your character or monster! Cross-referencing allows for literally thousands of names!
In the Book of Names, you will find naming conventions and tables for dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, hobgoblins, humans, goblins, orcs, half orcs, and ungern!
NPCs!
The Book of Names also includes additional tables to randomly generate a host of NPCs, complete with descriptions, personalities, game content and more!
