AFFA (11 November 2023)
For what it's worth, IIRC, sload names mostly started with a letter-apostrophe, based on caste or something. I think N' in N'Gasta was for wizards. I don't recall the others. I have no idea if current ES is sticking with that. I could make up an unofficial naming scheme and a hundred example names in an hour or so if you want.
AFFA (11 November 2023)

Prefixes are sonorants. First letter of root is 'hard' consonant, like plosive, dental, or velar.

Another random 100, same system:
N'Pitano, R'Gakwe, W'Tunga, M'Kula, L'Deyu, L'Panzo, W'Katlani, L'Kundi, W'Bukwe, L'Tiyi, W'Deroko, N'Gida, W'Panzo, N'Kandu, L'Golu, M'Bonga, M'Buru, R'Kamba, M'Kunge, N'Pani, M'Dana, W'Tugi, R'Tuki, R'Bikani, M'Pavu, W'Dero, R'Tani, M'Dana, M'Dero, M'Gakwe, L'Buru, M'Deyu, N'Gasti, N'Buri, M'Kondu, L'Kamba, N'Tuki, R'Tano, N'Kungi, L'Tozu, R'Kiru, N'Konbe, L'Gonye, M'Tanbe, W'Bundi, M'Danda, N'Pani, R'Buru, W'Kasta, N'Gasta, W'Kando, R'Teko, N'Gasta, L'Gasta, W'Gita, L'Kulowa, R'Pabo, N'Teko, N'Gama, M'Kisa, W'Kamba, N'Githi, R'Kanugi, N'Katlani, W'Tota, W'Tunga, N'Kundi, R'Kulowa, M'Bundo, R'Dera, W'Kunge, W'Kamba, N'Tano, W'Tuyu, N'Kundi, W'Batasi, R'Tugi, N'Gama, W'Taki, N'Golwe, L'Dalu, L'Kambu, L'Bundo, N'Buru, R'Pani, L'Gasti, L'Kangu, M'Dagi, N'Dalu, N'Kasta, R'Tana, N'Gida, L'Teki, M'Gita, N'Bikani, M'Pitano, R'Konge, W'Pitano, W'Bikwe, M'Gongi,
First impresison is that 'R' is a bit awkard as a prefix
AFFA (11 November 2023)
Suppose only important sload have a prefix. So only wizards for N' and...whatever the others ones means. Unimportant sload can start with a random vowel.

The current generator works with all Lore (including ESO) names and whatever I vaguely remember. Except B'Korgen, which just doesn't look like a proper Sload name to me.
While I agree that heavenlee's Sload names are better lookin and more diverse, I am pretty sure Sload names are supposed to be, generally, "Prefix'C(C)VC(C)V"
That doesn't mean you have to go with that.
