When I found this, I thought it would give me a cool name and not a translation.

Anyway . . . Hello, my name is "Drunken Squirrel"

QUESTION: Are there any other caveman name generators out there?

My name is "talks too much". So I guess I should stop now. But true to my cave name, I plunge on. I found a whole language generator out there when looking for alien words and names. I think it was Princeton University. The link I had died when my computer crashed and burned in December, but I might be able to search an old post for it, it you are interested.

Cacique Caribe16 Jul 2007 10:22 p.m. PST

Absolutely! I would love to see sites with actual name suggestions and not simply translations. Thanks!

Well, there's Ooog and Oook…and Bill.

Cacique Caribe16 Jul 2007 10:38 p.m. PST

Justicar,

LOL. I kinda hoped and expected "Ooog and Oook".

Maybe I should look at Orc name generators instead?

artslave16 Jul 2007 11:14 p.m. PST

Whew! Ok, I found it.

That was more difficult than I thought. The AEG Stargate forum has changed format, and the moderator has culled the postings to the last 60 days active. I hadn't realized that I'd been away so long. They still have the very old posts logged in an archive, but it took some digging to find my old posts.

Germy Bugger Fezian17 Jul 2007 1:51 a.m. PST

"Walks Slower Than Lame Turtle" hmmmm sounds more American Indian if you ask me?

Didn't improve with the Orc name generator either "igscum" :)

Cacique Caribe17 Jul 2007 2:29 a.m. PST

Maybe a little reverse-translation?

That's gonna be a lot of work though. I have about 30 Neanderthals and 25 Early Sapiens to find names for.

Burps Much? I think they got the wrong end!

Lowtardog17 Jul 2007 3:49 a.m. PST

Who made this generator…where do they live… do they know who I am…have they seen me

My Cave Man name is…Runs Like A Girl

Cke1st17 Jul 2007 5:03 a.m. PST

Ohh, how appropriate -- "Snatches Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory"

Cke1st17 Jul 2007 5:08 a.m. PST

CC, how about "Quest for Fire"?

tnjrp17 Jul 2007 5:51 a.m. PST

I think it's pretty spot on…

Your truly, Prancing Buffalo (-:)

Gluteus Maximus17 Jul 2007 5:53 a.m. PST

"Bladder Like Walnut"? Eh?

Sadly "Bladder Like Leaky Sponge" would be more appropriate :-(

Photonred17 Jul 2007 5:58 a.m. PST

Black Eagle With Yellow Leg ??

Hazard17 Jul 2007 6:47 a.m. PST

Mine is 'Shake Well Before Opening'.

Buckeye AKA Darryl17 Jul 2007 7:49 a.m. PST

When using only my first name I am Snatches Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory, but when I use my first and surname I am Barking Chicken, sounds Mayan! When I use all three names, I too am Drunken Squirrel…sounds like the generator is rather random!

pphalen17 Jul 2007 8:03 a.m. PST

Laaana!

Atuk zug-zug Laaaana!

mattblackgod17 Jul 2007 8:32 a.m. PST

Your Caveman name is: Flying Aardvark

MaksimSmelchak17 Jul 2007 9:08 a.m. PST

Not what you were looking for but could be helpful in your prehistoric efforts:

Saxondog17 Jul 2007 12:06 p.m. PST

Well, I got Barking Chicken. (sigh) Macho, ain't it.

ChrisGermanicus17 Jul 2007 12:53 p.m. PST

ROFLMAO, thatīs great!

"Prancing Buffalo" it is for me, and the scary thing, it fits! IT FITS!!!

:D X-D

28mmMan17 Jul 2007 1:10 p.m. PST

My name: "lives in own little world" now that is funny.

28mmMan17 Jul 2007 1:57 p.m. PST

John Smith
in reverse: htims nhoj
comfortable phonetics: Ha Tims Nah oj(oh)
play with long/short vowels: Ha=Hoo Ti'mis Nah oj=Ooj

easy enough

John Smith's caveman name would be : Hoo Ti'mis Nah Ooj

HooTi'mis Nah'Ooh = strong/big keeper/watcher "mighty elk"

Sounds alot harder than it is. Actually been using this for years for unique PC names without getting caught up in common languages.

Mine is…Ral Mah'Oob De'n Ma'Yar (mouthful huh?) so I take this to be a full-family-tribe name…Mah'Oob is the common name here.

Ral Mah'Oob De'n Ma'Yar = Sun and Moon stone counter/keeper
(story teller)

evilcartoonist17 Jul 2007 3:27 p.m. PST

Quest for Fire names:

Naoh (not Noah)
Amoukar
Gaw
Ika
Rouka
Nam
Agoo
Lakar
Faum
Modoc
Hourc
Gamla

…Check Internet Movie Database if ya need more- there's plenty there

andygamer17 Jul 2007 9:26 p.m. PST

"andrew" came out as Drunken Squirrel, too. Is that your Christian name, CC, or was Drunken Squirrel randomly-chosen from a master list, meaning that duplications will appear? (I prefer Gronk, anyway.)

Cacique Caribe17 Jul 2007 10:03 p.m. PST

Andy,

For kicks, I only used my TMP handle: Cacique Caribe

I guess that "Drunken Squirrel" might simply be a default answer when it cannot match names with those in its database.

J Womack 9418 Jul 2007 9:04 a.m. PST

I came out as Talks Too Much as well. Think my students and my wife would agree.

Saxondog18 Jul 2007 1:16 p.m. PST

ok, I tried using the name I use here. Saxondog came out as "Misses the point". I can't win this one it seems.

col weazletoast24 Jul 2007 9:49 a.m. PST

I tried putting in the names of all 4 managers above me in the chain of command, oddly they are all "snatches defeat from the jaws of victory". For some reason I found that funny.

Burps alot

Captain Crunch24 Jul 2007 6:10 p.m. PST

I got "Dates Cattle". I wanted a name not an occupation.

Saxondog26 Jul 2007 4:34 p.m. PST

It's not an occupation. It's a hobby. What color do you paint those cattle?

Saladin01 Aug 2007 4:59 a.m. PST

I'm usually happy with Fred and Barney, but what about Klingon? That would be suitably guttural.

Actually, it wouldn't be hard to develop a better name generator like this or like the phonetic ones.
