Plain, sturdy human names for fantasy campaigns — the everyday names that make a world feel lived in.
—
How these names are built
Humans in most fantasy settings are the baseline culture, so their names are the least exotic on the map: an ordinary given name from the medieval European pool plus a trade, place or patronymic surname. That ordinariness is a feature — it makes the elf and dragonborn names stand out. 576 combinations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are these so ordinary?
Because contrast is characterisation. If every name on your map is exotic, none of them feels exotic. Humans anchor the world.
Can I use them for a noble NPC?
Yes — swap the trade surname for a place name (Alden of Harrowmoor) to signal rank.
