Need some more names? I was thinking of making a map a while ago with a random name generator for characters... So, when I was gonna make that, I thought of a crapload of names. It'll take me a while, but I bet I can remember like 100 of them :P
Oboe's idea of looking at the Hirsir's names is good, but depending on what the hero for this scenario will be (greek origin, etc.) they might not be such good names.
I'm not good at coming up with names either, but I'll surf the net for some sort of list.
1. Perfection is impossible. 2. Nothing is impossible. 3. There are always exceptions.
I know it's not really following the format for first and last names, but I'm just copying and pasting these names from somewhere else.
They're real names from the ancient period, and some of them are already in AOM but I'll delete those ones.
Actaeon Admetus Aemilius Paullus Aeschylus Agesilaus Agis Agrippina the Elder Agrippina the Younger Alcaeus Alcestis Alcibiades Alexander the Great Andromache Arius Artaxerxes Aspasia of Miletus Attila
Hmm..... I just realized I only went through the A's.....
Here's a link to the website - if you like the names then you can go through the alphabet.

That's good that you've got the names you need, Jack, but in case anyone else needs help coming up with names, here is a link to a Character Name Generator for Dungeons & Dragons that might be useful.
Anyway... I tend to only have passing difficulty with names. I created a mess of them for The Amnesiac. For the villagers in Turcots' village, and for the women in Peourana's city. And you're free to use them. If you just want names I might be able to scratch up a few that sound good. But it seems that you're done with your program, and I have no idea why you're asking.
Te'artas Gresam Cahbveas (This sounds like it's Gaelic) Lertupos Palarapos Paritimines Haripos Gorbojh Waraites Kofunois (Co-foo-noee) I could go on...
I played another game once where there was a syllable based naming system, where I'm pretty sure there was a database of syllables, and it just randomly stitched them together and called them names. Some of them were good, some of them were a hoot, but most were fairly unintelligible.
So, what you're trying to do is something like this, but with Norse, Egyptian, and Atlantean names aswell? Well, those are all greek mythology names. I just put that together in like one minute, somone else made the actual generator, though. I don't know where the full list can be found, but there's info here: http://www.clickteam.com/epicenter/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=109344

*First names*: Dark Ghost The (like: The Warrior, The Slayer...) *Last names*: Lord Beater (Why not?) King Killer The Brave
AoMH retired Scenario designer Skarr: "I wish WRP_Beater would stop abusing the poor BBCode." lostrozzacavalli: "Mezzo e un minuto." | "I'm joking ragazzo." Dr. Newt: "You are WRP. A slightly manic Italian presence on the forums, you have improved over the years to be a fairly reliable pair of hands, either as town or scum."
Well the question is: is your name generator for any fantasy Dungeons and Dragons like names? If yes then unfortunatly your name generator is pretty useless as there are very good ones you can google, in which you enter your race and class it gives nice fitting names.
If however, your generator can give names from different nations such as Greece, Egypt or Scandinavia, then if you want names go on wikipedia and type something like list of greek names and list of egyptian names.
