I wanted to start this thread as a go-to hub for writing resources. I'll begin by sharing many that I use for a variety of projects. I'll start with people name generators, as they're sort of my hobby.
People Name Generators
> http://random-name-generator.info/
This one is one of my favorites for modern first and surnames. Works well for generating lots of names for rosters, etc.
> http://www.behindthename.com/random/
Behind The Name is a fantastic site for names and given & surname naming origins. Especially good if you're looking for names from a specific origin or people group.
> http://www.rinkworks.com/namegen/
This site is a bit more complicated but works well for generating fictional place names, etc.
> https://www.springhole.net/writing/index.html
A variety of generators specifically aimed toward fictional worldbuilding.
> http://www.americanlastnames.us/generators/last-name-generator.php
It says American last names, but it's got lots of more unusual surnames. Especially good for hockey or more European names.
> https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/
THIS is one of the best sites out there. TONS of generators for pretty much anything you could ever need. One of my favorites.
> https://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=quickname
Seventh Sanctum has lots of generators, including some decent naming gens.
> https://www.mithrilandmages.com/utilities/Modern.php
This site is more devoted to fantasy worldbuilding, but has some good name gens as well.
> https://www.fakenamegenerator.com/advanced.php?t=country&n%5B%5D=us&c%5B%5D=us&gen=100&age-min=0&age-max=100
This site isn't as useful for worldbuilding or roster population but it's still a fun one.
