While people want to find unique fantasy names, it's important to remember that the name you choose must be readable if you want it to be memorable. If you're using the name in a story, if it is too difficult to pronounce, readers will just stumble over it, which breaks the flow. It will also make it difficult for readers to tell their friends about your story. Readability isn't as important if you're using the name in Dungeon and Dragons, but you still want people to be able to say your name.

For writers, one more thing to take into consideration when choosing fantasy names is that you don't want names that sound similar. If two character have names that sound similar they can easily confused. You don't want your reader backtracking to figure out whether you're talking about Sarin or Sarah. With a name generating tool, it will be easy to find dissimilar names that are still unique and fit your character.
