Unhappy Tips on a monk name?

Hehe hey there everyone.. argh I'm having a hard time thinking up a male monk name. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to any name generators or anything else. My guy is going to be prophecies 2nd to left on top look, bald. I'm trying to think of a first and last name. Somewhat serious, and not using priest/abbott/healer/bishop etc as first name.
It seems that female char names are so much more easy to think of! Thanks if you can help out, and sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.

My advice is to come up with a naming convention for your characters.... a pattern used through-out.... and stick to it.

It makes naming new characters a whole lot easier.


For instance, all my Canthan characters have Korean names with the "Hyun" family name. My Tyrian characters all start with "Ghost of" ...all two of them, that is (and I doubt I'll be making any more any time soon).


As a second bit of advice.... if the character is Tyrian, I'd advise a Greek or Norse sounding name.... If the character is Canthan, I'd suggest a Japanese or Chinese sounding name..... If the character is Elonian, I'd recommend an Egyptian sounding name... or a short phrase that describes them characteristically in some way (or of course look up a generally African-sounding name online).

Well if you are going bald, a good GW trade name could work.

How about Wtb Rogaine? It might help you grow some hair.

I named mine Saint Jude Thaddeus after the patron saint of lost causes.

Brother + anything will work

I also use a naming convention. My characters are all named after characters from 19th century novels for some ungodly reason.

If you want to avoid the Saint/Bishop/Abbot/Brother etc naming convention, you can still do a search on patron saints and name your monk after a saint, but skip using Saint. Not many people "got" my male monk's name.
