One of the challenges of running or playing in a roleplaying game is making up character and place names that don't sound stupid. Some people have a talent for it, while others... don't. Most people fall into the latter category.

If you're consistently good at making up fantasy or science fiction names that don't sound ridiculous, especially at short notice, then you could probably get a job doing so for all those roleplayers who can't do it for themselves. Except for the fact that many gamers actually think that "Steve the Barbarian" or "Hoodoo-fugu the Alien Monk" are perfectly good names.
