This is the first of several "generators" to help authors come up with the perfect value for a field while planning. Clicking on some generator icon next to a character's "Name" field should pop up a wizard that allows them to perform some actions, and ultimately either generate a name they like and press OK to add it to the name field, or press cancel to exit the modal with no changes to the name field.

For character names, we should:

• Allow users to generate random first names and last names, separately (e.g. re-generate last name without wiping first name)
• Allow users to specify genre/timeframe/etc filters to limit names to a particular field when generating (e.g. only british names, or only scifi names, or only male names, etc)
• When a user has decided on a name, e.g. "James Bond", we should show them some basic stats on popular characters/figures with that name, if any (e.g. "James Bond is a spy in the popular series James Bond) so they know what connections many readers may draw when seeing the name
• When a user has decided on a name, e.g. "Tristan Baldwin", we should show stats on the first and last name popularity in the real world, to give them a sense of 1) how popular each part of their name is, and 2) in which countries it's more/less popular

Let's just do this one generator/wizard for now and see how well it is received, but I could see similar in-depth wizards for a lot of fields in the future to help out writers that want a little help fleshing out particular aspects of their ideas.

I don't know if this would help, but http://www.behindthename.com/ is one of the best naming websites around.

Cool, thank you! We might be able to integrate our generator with their API, if they have one. That looks like a great tool.

Now that we live in the world of crazy AI, I think we can generalize this issue and just make generators for every field based on its label, although some fields might benefit from some extra TLC (like names).
