No luck with your downloads, eh?
I've actually added another 500 or so names - IIRC - so let me get that posted and a link put up. I'm heading off to bed shortly so I will have to do it tomorrow. |

Thank you so much for the effort!
Note to other downloaders: While the webpage reports "Whoops! There was a problem loading pages", hitting the download button allows you to get the whole shebang. Again, thank you.

You're most welcome. I just add to it on a piecemeal basis most of the time but occasionally tackle an entire book. It's amazing how long the list is!

Thank you for providing this excellent resource, Delrulbaskul. And thanks to all the others who are also helping compile more names for the list.
A while back, The Hooded One once stated that she could look at a given fictional name and tell right off the bat if it was an Ed creation. Kind of implying that there is a quasi-formula or pattern to Ed's "people naming" modus operandi. Based upon my own primitive observations, I would concur. Many times I look at a given Ed-created name and *know* it's one he created - without being able to explain my reason why. Lol. And that's taking into consideration the character's Torilian geographical and cultural origin, too. |

You're welcome. And it's all me: I've been at this list for a couple of years now adding to it from time time.

I agree. One of the things I have always liked about FR - and thus the reason I started making this list - was the way Ed's names felt "right", in much the same way as JRRT came up with naming conventions that simply fit the world of LotR.
It also makes it really jarring when R A Salvatore comes out with such really crappy names in his novels. Of course, RAS is not alone in the crappy names department... but he's the king. |
