Kate Monk's Onomastikon is down. Can anyone direct me to a similar site, I can't think of a name for a character?

Nothing?
Google doesn't turn up anything useful. I hope it gets fixed soon or else I'm back to the bad old days of picking foreign names out of the New York Times.
Well, I learned my lesson. From now on whenever I find a massively useful website I'm going to save it on my computer.

I take it this is some sort of name generator?

No, it's a list of names and naming guidelines for, well, most of the world's cultures.

This, of course, is why I downloaded it long ago.

Online web archive maybe?

Or you could really nicely ask Steve to send you a copy.

Explains why I never heard of it, my 'Writers Digest' subscription has led me to buying several of their more interesting books namely

'The writers digest: Character Naming Sourcebook' 'The Eastern Character Naming Sourcebook' ect.

I have quite the oddball list of sources for names. Even the differances between english/welsh, german/teutonic, ect
