Junk Names

A comment on my Treasure Junks post asked about names, and I remembered that many years ago I created a table for randomly generating junk names. I dug around on my hard-drive and there it was, in it's 20 year old glory. So I thought I'd share it. 

It should be obvious how you use it - roll a D20 on Column A and one on Column B and combine the results to create a suitable name. Enjoy.

  1. So to get a complete junk name, you use a little from column A and a little from column B?

    1. Thanks KK, that’s useful. FWIW IMO the best ever name for a G&G junk (a merchant vessel) is “Imperial Tea Caddy”. It’s one of Nic Wrights. I wish I’d thought of it.
