The hardest bit's not writing the actual code, but seeding it with syllables or name fragments that will produce names with the right sort of feel. To do it properly you need to think about the actual imaginary linguistics. Random name generators are easy enough to write – I really ought put put a Javascript one online on this site.

Many years ago some friends of mine devised a random name generator. So many years ago that I believe it was written in VB3, a programing language which many developers now will not have heard of. There I times when I wish I had the source code for that program. Surely it would not be difficult to reimpliment. If you want to kill off characters whose names do not fit their backgrounds, please can you post (or would it be re-post?) the rules which determine the names which do fit.
