Random Name Generator

When Randomly Generated Levels are big enough, they include cities, planets, or other objects that need names. Even if not, other content can be random, and what content is more common and is in need to be varied more than names? Tabletop RPG often do the same, mainly for the sake of the setting atmosphere - both on computer and in tabletop pulling "Hello, Insert Name Here" on the players without relevant experience ends in self-inserts or loonie names more often than not. And eventually the designers figured out that once you have a list of names, you can turn it into a ready tool simply by printing it as a table with corresponding column of numbers (or number ranges).

Tabletop Games

 * All lines of Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay have character name tables in several different styles.

Video Games

 * Battle for Wesnoth, unusual for a strategy, includes names in new unit randomization.
 * Dwarf Fortress world generator, of course, have to name everyone and everything. And now that the system is here, it's also used for things other than individual creatures, peoples and places - such as Named Weapons. Sometimes the results are awesome, sometimes laughably bad. Among the player settlements, Boatmurdered is far from the weirdest.
 * Neverwinter Nights has the naming script. Since NPC are pre-made or generic, it's mostly for PCs and user-created content.
 * The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall name all unimportant NPCs using one. It works simply by combing a random beginning and end from ~15 options (as well as a random middle for Imperial NPCS). Stores are also named in this way, with multiple words randomly combined
 * X-Com (all games) generate names soldiers simply by selecting random " " from the lists.
 * EU2012 and successors also generate mission names, which became a meme in itself, in part due to inevitable cases of tautology or Dwarf Fortress grade unintentional hilarity.
