Need Help... Random name generator.

I am plum out of fantasy names.. so I need some help...

I heard about a random name generator once, and I'm wondering if anyone knows where it is. I thank you in advance.
 
I downloaded this program called 'The Everchanging book of Names' a few years ago and it is very nice. It has dozens of categories ranging from normal human names from all around the world to many D&D races and other fantasy settings. It is a free download that allows limited access to some categories, so you can only generate 5 names before it locks up, but it is a small enough program that it is easy enough to shut it down and reload it (allowing 5 more names to be generated). You can register the program for $10 to unlock all the categories to prevent the 5 name limit, and get some new categories as well.

In Piers Anthony's "Battle Circle" trilogy, warriors use a 3-letter name, followed by their weapon of choice: i.e. "Sos the Rope." As there are only 5 vowels (6 if you include Y) a simple roll of a d6 will give you the middle letter. There are 20 consonants in the alphabet. A simple d20 roll will give you the other 2 letters. (Now in reality, C and K are interchangable, as are C and S but you'll have to deal with that on your own.) If your need simple names quickly, this one's hard to beat.
