Random Namegen

So, I noticed that random characters (meaning those created by the random button) get a random name. I think this is a good thing, and it shouldn't be restricted to just random chars. A button like "Random Name" should be easy to code and would be much appreciated.

Also, I personally find the names provided right now a little too bland. It would be more fun if there were some alternatives. Perhaps even a small set of name gens for people to choose from. I'd be more than willing to help with that.

I think having different sets of prefix's and suffix's would be great it allow you get a name reasonable for you race. if we could have it make a random name from a collection of terms made of 2 lists they could be made both racially and class based.

The character creation screen already has that. Right-clicking the character name field generates a random name.

I believe it also a few different random generators for the different races.
