You'll need a 10-sided die for this game. Go here:
http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks1/maths/dice/
The namebanks are all "word" names. Some of them are quite normal and others are a little more out there, so you can be serious or just go crazy. They're not divided by gender, since many of them can go either way.
The rules:
*Roll the die to determine which namebank to use. Roll once for the first name and once for the middle name. (If you want to use multiple middle names, roll again for each one.)
*Nicknames are okay.
*Spelling changes are only allowed if it is a legitimate variation of the word; e.g., Valor/Valour, Gray/Grey. You may
not change the spelling in a way that changes the meaning or makes it a name and not a word, e.g., Hue/Hugh, Scarlet/Scarlett.
*If a name is actually two words (e.g., Tirza Rima), they must be used together.
