This...is sooooo cool. I'ma be using some of these names for Antagonist Orks in a deathwatch campaign I'm putting together haha.

Deffkilla Roadstaklanka. Like a boss.

You know, whenever i finish a battle, i notch all of the bases of the surviving models, to see who my veterans are. And i have this one boy who has more notches than any other model, even my warboss. I've been trying to come up with a good name with him. His place holder name has been old boy curbstomp, but this generator found something far better: Old Boy Klankanut

Building on ergotoxins' original idea and applying some fancification and adding some new data culled from a variety of sources (including ergotoxin's original generator), I've now got the following:

http://www.thekeep.org/orkgen.html

It can spit out large numbers of names at a time, to let you find the ones you like best. And if you click the 'Gimme' link, it'll regenerate a new batch, without having to reload the page.

So basically you just said you copied my data without asking? Thats not really polite dude

Apologies for any offense. I hadn't realized there was any significant original data in those. But this is also not exactly a "copy" of your data.

Most of your data appears to have come originally from the tables at the back of 'Waaargh! Orks' from Rogue Trader (which I also originally started from). I've also gone through some old White Dwarfs, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ed Ork codexes and the Lexicanum site and added many of the name pair portions from those as well. There's also some data from a few other random name tables and generators I've found on the web (including data from a number of WHOL sites like WHAlliance, some WHjjjFB source sites, a few Tolkien sites, etc). Some have been reorganized and few of the ones I thought especially silly were removed or moved between various lists.

Beyond that, I've added some logic for creating the titles and nicknames, again culled from a number of sources and then with additions of my own (and some suggestions from friends).

Ultimately, I'd like there to be plenty of awesome Ork name generators. So feel free to use the improvements I've made, or to give me suggestions. Or, if you like, you can use my code yourself. I've been using this project as an excuse to brush up on my HTML and JS skills, so I've been trying to write the most usable code I can.

I got the James Bond Villian of the ork world :p
