On the safe side, I'd like to apologize to everyone I've ever met, and most of the people that I haven't met yet.

*Weequay: Weequay, members of this species have no individual names, they refer to each other as Weequay, (loosely translated "Follower of Quay", their deity of high divinity).

*Whiphid: _'_____ or ______ or _____ __, naming practices vary between Whiphid tribes. Most often, both genders have one given name. For males, when the first letter or letters are separated from the given name by an apostrophe, it is usually an identification with their hunting pack (the prefix remains there, regardless of whether they still engage in active hunting or not). Since only males are allowed to pack hunt, females do not receive a prefix. Other Whiphid tribes use short surnames, which serve the same purpose as the prefixes, Heavy on: W's, P's & rolling syllables (r's and l's), Ex: D'Whopp, J'Quille, Valarian, Betsi, Aiaks Fwa, Betsi, Ch'unkk, Fillin Ta, Mubbin, Nuron Gep

If All Else Fails................

1. Try writing names backwards. It's simple but effective. For example, "Harry one" is changed to Enoyrrah (good for a Wookie). Joel changes to Leoj (an excellent name for a Sullustan).

2. If you can't get it straight, make it crooked. You can emblish reversals by taking out letters or adding additional ones (especially the "Heavy on:" letters I noted). I.e. Steven--Nevet (a Rodian? Jawa?); Anne-- Elnna (Chadra-Fan? Ho'din?)

3. Use foriegn languages. For most Earthlings, halfway across the planet is as alien as halfway across the galaxy. Whose to know? You can pickup translation dictionaries with a little digging and a buck or 2. Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese are the easiest, but many words are common between those languages and English, and may be noticed. Most German names seem "silly" instead of "exotic" to English speakers. That leaves Oriental [excellent], Greek [a bit verbose, but not bad], Cyrillic [fairly limited name-wise, but many interesting words] , Polynesian [fun to say], Slavic [pro: obscure, con: tough to pronounce] , Gaelic [sounds awesome, but spelling is a challenge], African [a wealth of languages here, try starting in the Northwest], Scandanavian [some very good word patterns, especially Swedish], & Native American tongues. And don't forget Latin; it's one of the best, non-spoken languages this planet has to offer. Ask a friend in another country to translate a few key words for you (try ones like "ghost", "knight", "friend", "shadow" or "enemy") and see what you come up with. I can translate a decent variety of languages myself, so if you've misplaced your babel fish, I could probably take a shot at it if you drop me a word or three. Even better, AltaVista has a competent (and free!!) translation engine: http://babelfish.altavista.com/cgi-bin/translate?

4. Name dropping. Name droping is a time honored event in SW; just ask the pros about all of their harmless little name "easter eggs." Just don't make it too obvious, or players get annoyed. And if your sister finds out you named a Hutt in her likeness.... well... it's not gonna be pretty... ;o) Also, don't try the "I'll just rearrage the letters in Skywalker"approach. Players seem to pick up on character rip-off's fairly quickly, and usually see them as corny rather than clever.

5. Rob, steal and pillage the classics. Star Wars has often been termed a modern mythology. Because of this, names borrowed from classic stories and myths often fit right in. Also, any and all sci-fi novels are also fair game for name-mining, especially far future series like Asimov's "Foundation" and Simmons' "Hyperion".

6. Make common names look uncommon. This is the oldest trick in the sci-fi handbook. By respelling common English names with outlandish variants, you can create names that look authentic, yet familiar. Example: Kip Dunham, with a few modifications, polishes into Kyp Durron. On the same tone, Jason become Jacen, Ben becomes Bane or Bren, Maude become Mahd, Bill becomes Bin (or, better yet, Bynne), Chris becomes Crix, Carl become Carlist, you get the idea... [this is possibly the easiest and most reliable way to make a good character name, at least for a human.]

7. "Be" the name. Languages are going to be effected by environment and physiology. If it's a Mon Cal or Quarren, say some names through a glass of water. If it's a Rodian, pucker your lips up and act like Greedo (the taunting tone of voice helps a lot). If it's a big, hulking character, bellow a few times and then start rumbling off names (Your neighbors love this. Try doing it in crowded elevators and subway stations ;o).

8. Use a formula. Don't worry, algebra-haters, there's no math involved. To be pronouncable, all names follow some sort of a pattern of vowels and consonants. You can make easy Star Wars names on the fly simply by rearranging these patterns. For instance, a widespread one is to take the first three letters of your last name and add the first two letters of your first name. Now take the first three letters of your mother's maiden name, and add the first three letters of your bithplace. I got Kelmi Cobcor, which is a passable SW name. Or, try taking the first four letters of your middle name. Then take the first three letters of your current hometown, and add the first three letters of the closest major city. This time I got Will Metroc, which is also decent. Play around with it, you'll find plenty of usable patterns

. 9. Make your names "high scoring". Going on the assumption that other languages are usually drastically different from English (why not? It's almost completely off-kilter from any and all Earth languages), rare letters may be common on other worlds. So, you need a conversion scale. Here's what you can do. Convert a Scrabble board (tm Milton-Bradley) into an Alien language workshop. This complicated procedure can be accomplished by flipping the board over. Try making names that are high scoring yet plausibly pronounceable. If you don't have a Scrabble board, here's the scoring system: {A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T, U}=1 -- {D, G}=2 -- {B, C, M, P}=3 -- {F, H, V, W, Y}=4 -- {K}=5 -- {J, X}=8 -- {Q, Z}=10
