Don\'t worry about it CB will be out very soon (no more than one or two months hopefully less) and will it will include a random name generator for your convenience.  For now you can choose any name you wish, but a good way to make fantasy names is by writing down a few vowels and constants and then joining them together.

I.E.

B L T
E I O

Beltio

Quite Italian sounding but could be used as a fantasy name.

Of course it could also be turned into:

Boetli, Bilteo, Boleti etc....

Just make sure that the name is pronouncable (try to avoid triple constants because in general the are imppossible to prounce) and please don\'t use apostrophes in the middle of your name because I don\'t think many people have any idea on how to pronouce names like that (myself included).

P.S. You are free to use any names listed above if you wish except fo course mine :P

I think he is talking about a character creation bug I encountered myself. The first time I tried to use \"Tulfutzian\" for my char name I got a message saying \"name already in use\" or something to that extent. After a couple more tries I began using romanian names for names...I still got the same problem. I gave up and after an hour, when I tried agin I was able to use \"Tulfutzian\"
 Probably someone already reported this in the Bugs Forum, there should be more info there.

 If that\'s the problem, just keep trying. I don\'t want to believe there is someone unable to come up with a name...

If you spend too long in character creation, you may go Linkdead, which you\'re not always alerted to. That could be the cause of the problem.

Also note that if you try one name and it is taken, you should quit the client and then load it again, otherwise it might just tell you no names work (even if they do).

Also note there are hundreds of thousands of names already in the database.
