In a game like the Elder Scrolls series, where there are races and what not, why not allow the player to choose from a list of first and last names that is indigenous to the genetic background (race, class etc) they've chosen for their character? As a last step rather than a first. Most NPC names are procedurally generated anyway, no reason the same concept cannot be applied to a limited list of available player names.
