This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Hi all,

The week after next, I'm running Space 1889.

But I have one problem, names. I suck at making up names, particularly on the fly. But the S1889 book really doesn't help much with names for Martians, it just gives names for a handful of NPCs and no general guidance or help with naming otherwise.

So, I turn to you, anyone got any names from their campaigns that might suit for High, Hill and Canal Martians?

Gimme your examples.

Looks like you could crib from Burroughs and Moorcock to me. You might get some play from Eskimo names, too.
