#2: Initial revision
As far is legal rights are concerned, no, names generated by a generator are not copyrighted, nothing similar. Consider: a random string generator producing random letter combinations of random lengths could theoretically produce every word in the dictionary. One cannot copyright those, right? A name generator is only a little more complex than manually flipping open a dictionary at a random page and pointing your finger at a random word. Would you have to credit the dictionary, if you used it this way? Is taking words from a dictionary "plagiarism"? (Whether using an online name generator is a good idea from a creative point of view is a different question entirely, and a separate one.)
