Name generator with meaning?

ImaTarget

Hi all,

I am really bad at his it seems as I can not figure out how to do the following. I want to use the Name generators from some old Dragon Magazines That not only generated names with pre- and suffixes but also had every pre- and suffix mean something. For example a Dwarf named ([Prefix] Al- [Suffix] -Bir) Al-Bir would translate to Forge Warden. I can create a name easily from pre- and suffixes but what I have trouble with is linking the meaning to it. The output should be something like this:

The Dwarf is called Al-Bir which means Forge-Warden in Tradespeak

I wager I have to set variables to use? Anyone a pointer?

On the off chance that you are still around, or perhaps someone else is interested in doing something similar. I have just finished doing pretty much just that (though my version just uses the stronghold names). You need to do use a dictionary table and inline variables.

Table: DwarfCity
[[@name1=NameTest1][@name2=NameTest2] >>Proper] ([#{name1} Translation] [#{name2} Translation])

Table:NameTest1
blah
bleh
bluh

Table:NameTest2
meh
mur
moh

Table: Translation
type: dictionary
blah:meaning
bleh:another meaning
bluh:more meaning
meh:this means nothing
mur:you get the idea
moh:I hope
