I'm writing a fan fiction thingy about a lost Numenorean colony but I need some names for the city, outlying towns and people. Thanks.

How about some names of pharmaceuticals?
Here's a list of some that might work:
Indomethacin Ribavirin
Pindolol Ritonavir
Lisinopril Nelfinavir
Ramipril Calan
Sotalol Inderal
Verapamil Mevacor
Cidofovir Ogen
I could list more, but don't wanna take up too much space. LMK if you want some more!
Hope this helps ya! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Run some gibberish through the name generators. You get some pretty awsome names! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Try a Latin-English dictionary. There's some great words in there. With a little modification, you could make some cool names out of them.

Use Quenya names, or Numenorëan, i.e. Adûnaic names. Either way, the Ardalambion is a good place to visit.

Go to the same sources used by the Master. Tolkien took most of his names from Welsh, Gaelic, Finnish, Norse mythology, etc.

Do some research into their myths and legends and see what pops up.
