Player Name Generator Button
A while ago I wrote a simple utility which is basically a button in the bookmars bar in your browser that can generate a random names for a player:
It's nothing complicated, but I found it handy so thought I could share it :-)
If you would like to give it a try:
* Go here: http://roante.github.io/fumbbl-namegen/
* Drag the boxed fumbbl-namegen text into your bookmark bar.
* In Fumbbl when buying a new player, open the URL address in a new tab. (This is important since bookmarklets aren't displayed by default in popup windows except for Opera!)
* Click on the button and enjoy your new random name :-)
I tried it under the recent versions of Chrome, Firefox and Opera, so it should work. Feel free to have any comments if it's not working as expected or at all :-)
The forum topic is here to report any issues.
Cheers!

Dammit man! Now even the lazy people can name their teams properly... makes it harder to find someone that breaks naming conventions. Then I cant rename their players to my liking (ie: The HE thrower "Rules are Important" and the catcher "I luv Naming conventions!").
BTW
anyone who sees improperly named teams PLEASE report them as offensive so they can be "fixed".

If I report one of my own teams will you rename all the players on it for me?

I thought changing "Wand Erection" was a bit far. Erection is a real word.

Yeah, it's great, thanks a lot!
Recently I got something like 'nuffle was here!'
What's up with that?

Do you plan to make the name lists race specific?

Sage: I got rid of the 'Nuffle was here!' error message (it happened when the script wasn't able to find out which team are you playing with). In these cases you simply get a generic random name.
Otherwise, it generates a name based on the team (e.g., greek names for the 'zons, viking names for the Norse teams, etc.).
