[The probability spread on these are based upon a couple of items I found online looking into naming patterns in English documents in the 13th century.  I'm also working on an extended table, mostly for NPCs.  Most players don't even need a chart like this, but I often strain to come up with good names.  The extended list currently has almost 1200 male names on it.]

Rolling a 1-10 on the table indicates you come from the other side of the Channel (i.e. France), from a region on the Norman/Angevin border.  Locations 11-19 are all in England, somewhere vaguely to the north of the campaign area.  Item 20 is an island in the Irish Sea, between Great Britain and the Isle of Man. 

[The explanatory text at the end is a pack of lies.  Items 1-10 are places on a map of Poictesme, the fictional province where James Branch Cabell set some of his fantasy fiction.  Item 11 is from the sci-fi/horror novel The Midwich Cuckoos, which was made into two films, both titled Village of the Damned.  Items 12-19 are based upon locations in the Barsetshire novels of Anthony Trollope and later Angela Thirkell.  Sodor Island is from the kid's show Thomas the Tank Engine.  The point to all this rippery-offery is to provide authentic-esque locations off the map that suggest something useful in terms of color without tying anything down to actual history.]
