character naming and recs

[cicer]

Why do all name generators put out names that sound like someone either bashed the keyboard with their head, or strung a bunch of random consonents together? I need good names, dammit!

Also, I found a site that proclaims that it comes up with completely "unique" baby names. Most of them are horrible ones like "Thukigen" and "Qusmame", though it also suggested "Ligur".

...I so totally dare somebody to name their kid that. Bonus points if you name the next kid "Hatsur".

Saiyuki art commentary, vol. 8 by kate_nepveu. Very interesting. I love examining the flow of art in Saiyuki. It's exceptionally well-done.

louiselux asked for Saiyuki recs. Lots of good recommendations in the comments.

dragonscholar, who runs the Seventh Sanctum generator website, is creating a new generator to produce Kingdom of Loathing-style classes. One of the ones on the beta list was "Wig Thumper," which would be a totally awesome 18th-century name. "My name's Wigthumper. Horatio Wigthumper."
