There are several races living in Nebulum with multiple languages and cultural differences which means names will be different based on race, language, and location.

Awa

Male: Tehem'Ba.
Female: Ta'Ero.

Barbidon

There is not much difference between male and female Barbidon names. For example: Chithea (female), Golvreth (male), Wulshgar (male).

A note of interest is that under the Dark Wizard Voth, the names of Barbidon commanders were given the prefix Za'. For example, Lugar became known as Za'Lugar.

Canari

Canari names are among the most interesting in Nebulum.
Male: Gorvoid, Rexorg, Vortrog, Zregs.
Female: Fluxeena, Vaersheena.

Dragons

Examples: Ilph, Kell, Rewt.
It has been noted that the Dark Wizard Voth has a name which easily fits into this scheme.

Giants

At the moment, there is only one named giant so very little is known about their naming scheme. Example: Ar'Ra.

Human

Male: Men have the typical name. For example: Haloz, Joha, Sidrahkir.
Female: Names of women have two parts. The first part always ends in a vowel. The second part is three letters, consonant, vowel, consonant. For example: Desi'Rel, Foina'Dor, Naiya'Nal.
Female (Pirate): Names of women in the seafaring cultures had similar names, but they lacked the final consonant. For example: Darda'Gu.

Huvudets

Examples: Huvttiug, Lebuv.

Lunari

It is extremely hard to distinguish between male and female Lunari, if in fact such a distinction is actually there. Lunari names were always multi-syllabled. For example: Dezhothokh, Mathol, Tathel.
