Naming
your Character: In keeping with Anne McCaffrey's rules for Pern
fan clubs, we are not allowed to use any names whatsoever from the
books. Here are some resources to help you get creative with character
names. Have fun!
All
the Weyrs List contains a comprehensive list of dragon names from
the books, including The Skies of Pern, as well as a list of
fan-created names from MUSH and MOO games.
DragonRiders
of Pern, another offline, play-by-email Weyr, has a complete list
of human, dragon, and fire-lizard names from the books, including
The Skies of Pern. (see "Reserved Names" in their
left frame)
Fantasy Name Generator
is a fun way to come up with completely original, non-copyrighted
names. You can choose from several categories and randomize, or customize
the results... say, to end in "-th." Now, why would you
want to do a thing like that...?
Kabalarians
If you want to adapt a regular Terran name, or find an unusual name,
this is the place. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the alphabetical
index.
Pern

by Pernese settlers. Created by Becki, one of our former members,

issues explored here.

Pern : Guide to the series, including DLG errata and cast lists,
as well as Pern fandom.

like ourselves will also find it helpful.
