Title: Old West - Wild West usefull lists (Help)
Post by: GeekyBugle on September 10, 2021, 01:39:31 PM
I'm working on a few d100 tables of names, last names and nicknames for an old west game.

The European names/last names are no issue, having trouble with the "native" ones and with the nicknames.

This is one I have used regularly as a source.  The site has a lot of other useful info about the tribes while still being easy to use.
The names in the lists are of the 'given' type that a parent would give to a child, but should be good enough for gaming purposes.

No problem.

I was not sure if you are looking for typical 19th century American nicknames or the Wild West style nicknames.

Here are some standard ones:  https://raogk.org/encyclopedia/nicknames/ (https://raogk.org/encyclopedia/nicknames/)


And here are a couple of random name generators that I have used for lots of games.  Turns out they both have a Wild West category.

As for nicknames for any Banditos from your side of the border...I'll leave that to your expertise.  ;)

Thanks again! I've been working on the nicknames but after a while my brain refuses to work.
