This is awesome, Sev. We have a lot of immortal characters in our urban fantasy series. I'm constantly researching to make sure their names (when they use their original names) are period to the times of their birth, and sites like these are wonderful launching points. I tend to refer to primary source material when at all possible, and this is my go-to for Medieval European names...

This site has been compiled for use by SCA members, who are amazingly enough even more psycho about detail accuracy than I am. The SCA does good research, and provides a good starting point for those who need even more information.

Yep, thats one I've used.
I like the lay out for my links rather then the SCA layout.
If you know the heritage(time frame) you want, your site is great. If just looking for a good name my site is good.
