Edit: I've changed the title of this post to include Part One. I'm going to create another post with Ed's names from Castlemourn and, as I'm just over halfway and already have over 1,000 names, I think it's best to include them in a new post.
One of the many things I admire about Ed Greenwood as a game designer is that the names he chooses for named characters in the Forgotten Realms seem Realms-ian, even though that is not a word.

Unlike some designers and authors (particularly R A Salvatore who seems to go out of his way to make stupid names and speech impediments for his characters), Ed's simply feel right.
I'm going to collect some of them here, particularly those from older products. In due course, I will note if I have used them in an adventure or campaign.
