Excellent! Just found a Xena: Warrior Princess site with a listing of over 80 amazons from greek mythology. That wil do nicely. I've compiled it into a txt file and I could just use that for my new race. You can keep posting here though, perhaps we'll have enough for a second names list.

What about Ma Baker and Margaret Tacher?

GrowlTigga, what about a list of Englands Queens and female Prime Ministeres? Oh, and then there was Goulda Mier.

I used to play an Online game, and there were two females who basically could beat the $#!t out of the guys... not really names people would know, but:

Nariis
Catronia

How about :

Dorothy Truscott
JoAnna Stansby
Tobi Sokolow
Mildred Breed
Karen MacCallum
Kathei Wei-Sender
Shawn Queen
Rita Shugart
Michel Bruner
Rona Goldenfield

They all can beat me down and some ot them already did few times. That is is bridge of course, but who says you should not be warrior to excel ?

You don't necessarily have to use all proper names, of course. You can use some 'mythical categories' and generic types like 'Earth Mother' or whatnot. I could probably search my 'metaphoric entities' list and find a few... hmm, a quick search only produes ***** Goddess. The others are almost all animals. Oh, well...

Thanks, this is fascinating. That site Baron posted is a good resource, and links to some fascinating sites.

Anyway, I've uploaded the amazon file to my website (from the main page, got to the "various" page.) I think I might make two more names files - one for historical warrior women (ie ones who really existed) and one for fictional / mythological ones. The Valkyries will probably use the historical file.

But shouldn't the Valkyries include fictional names of valkyries (from Wagner, norse myth, etc)?
