Dunno where you get the drugs from.

It seems to give random combinations of two forenames.

Indeed.
Some time ago, claiming french roots loud and clear wherever you come from was the classiest thing, just as if a drop of french blood running through your veins was making you a much better guy (even though you don't speak the language and live in a small town in Nicaragua).

Your turn, Otto !

My name is far too Irish to have a german equivelant. Knowing the origin and meaning behind my name, what i need to do is find a german name that translates into the same meaning me thinks.

Donald "World-Ruler"
Hogan "Mortal, a young man"

Any suggestions?

Using this site and wikipedia, I come to something like
Theodoric (People-ruler)
Hunman (Young bear-man)
Which would translate into modern German as:
Dietrich/Dieter Hunmann


My German name would be Friedrich Radstock (instead of Fer Radstake)

I'm not sure about Karol, because I found him in an german name-book. But I think you are right.

I have a Barvarian last name and my mother maiden name is 100% German. We still have relatives in Germany. So I got some crack headed name by the generator. Someone posted a nice idea and that is using this generator to name your capt on your next career. I always us my mothers maiden name of Schulthies. My grandfathers name of Anton. So, I sail as Anton Schultheis.

My name in German would be the same, seeing as half of it is already in German and the other half would be the same in German.

The generator seems to be completely random though...

It is random. I type in a German name and I get some whacked out name.

Hah, well it figures I mean it is the internet after all. And the internet is so full of misrepresentation. It is fun though, I mean hey what the heck.

So at any rate I did like the name it came up with, I'll use it for the new carreer when I get around to comng back to playing. Right now im focused on my other hobby. I do that a lot, hobby hopping that is. I'll get obsessed on one for a time, then switch off.

So, Karl does seem right for Charles and glad someone pointed that out. Hmmm though Duncan as uhhhh a dark warrior seems odd, as odd as me being in that range of person. If anything friends have always though of me as the opposite, a warrior of light if you will.
Yes being a Star Wars fan since it's original release I've always been somewhat fascinated by the Jedi thing. And unlike so many others I had no such affinity for the sith. Geez, remember the shortage of Darth Maul figures? They couldn't keep them on the shelf, and every Holloween there'd be every other kid dressed as him, or Vader.
Hah, but not me...........
It was Obi-Wan or nothing for me. An outfit I did a few years ago. :
