I give you... THE FANTASY NAME GENERATOR!!!
www.rinkworks.com/namegen/
A very powerful tool I found a few years back by googling "fantasy name generator," appropriately enough. I generally use it as a starting point and modify the names it gives me. Most of them are idiotic, and the ones that aren't usually don't quite fit what your looking for, but if you finagle the good ones, you'll be the envy of the party
I don't totally understand all of its functions myself, but there are a hell of a lot of them. Easiest way to use it, though, is just to choose what kind of name you want from the drop down list and generate a cloud.
Alternatively, I found that Wizards offers their own:
www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20010208b
Not quite as flexible, but perhaps a little more reliable. Plus, it does surnames a hell of a lot better. The FNG can only do first names, no "Bronzebeard"s or "Swordson"s or what have you. I dunno, I'm not good at coming up with examples, that's why I found this in the first place.
Anyway, enjoy!
