Tolkien didn't make a lot of words in Khuzdul (the language of dwarves) when creating the language, so this is significantly shorter than the Elvish Name Generator from last month.
For starters, there aren't any prefixes in Khuzdul, and there's very few suffixes that were documented in Tolkien's notes. So the options in the Dwarven language are very limited.
Thus people (gamers or writers) wishing to use authentic dwarven names from Tolkien will likely be disappointed by the following list.
Still, with some effort I think you could also just combine words from the main list to create and use those as either prefixes or suffixes.
Eg. Barknaragul translates roughly to "Axe of Blackness".
Something to consider.
