Hey guys. checked out some name generators for 5-10 names but they seem a bit dodgy. Any suggestions? the aliens are fit and strong and shaped like humans but their heads will be, um, well, different.

Naw, you didn't go there, did you?

I can just imagine the name of their planet.  :o ;D

Name generators suck... A phone book flip is all the name generator you'd ever need. Flip to a page, get your first name. Flip to another page, get your last name.

As for alien names...

how about Glavens...? I was gonna us it for my Si-fi script "aphelion" but settled for a much better name in the end.

Take a simple name like Stevie and substitute letters.  Try to keep the vowels and consonants the consistent between translation.  You can use a different translation for each character though.

S=G T=B E=A V=N I=E  

S-t-e-v-i-e
G-b-a-n-e-a
