i feel like, rpgs going forward, especially fantasy ones, should have some kind of name generator/ suggestion box for your character’s origin & culture in character creation.

like, sure you can look up names online + theres some great name generators out there, but if you’re new to a world with its own lore and culture, it would be great to know beforehand where their names took inspirations from

like, imagine going into a game where you choose your usual character creation things, and then you plop into a world with the name like theobald mcenglishton, with your character origin apparently inspired by old rennaisance italy, and the setting is inspired by colonial spain
