Title: [Space 1889] Help with Martian names needed
Post by: Balbinus on February 17, 2009, 06:20:20 AM

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?

Looks like you could crib from Burroughs and Moorcock to me. You might get some play from Eskimo names (http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names/eskimonames.htm), too.
