The final table with names and monsters  is more a suggestion. You could mix and match first and second names. You could roll monsters twice and mix the result for something weirder. I recommend using this for inspiration and create a unque monster. You could add some Xor Mutations, Lawful Features, Chaos Features, Surgical Modifications, Alchemical mutations, Necroid Abilities etc (some more d100 tables to cover these). Also if making a standard dnd monster, the maker is creating a new version or a new method. The new version frequently has variations from normal.

Asked for some ideas on G+
Probably should have specified content/format but i will put suggestions here as a possibly useful footnote - thank you my brain trust

Dallas M
the party knocks on a door and the villager inside gives the party 2 SP while begging for an extension on their tax deadline because they mistakenly think the party are tax collectors?

Party member with highest CHA+WIS is mistaken for Odin the Wanderer (or equivalent). Nubile sons or daughters are trotted out to a crawling sales pitch. Imagine a grandchild with god's blood!

Jeff Call
Villagers think party are the ones who last night murdered the village mascot animal, an ancient rooster named Kolchak.

Mistake party for the local regent and retinue, well-known for traveling in disguise as beggars.

Mistake party for vampire diplomats come to negotiate a cessation of hostilities, regardless of time of day.

Mistake party for recently polymorphed livestock now scattered around the countryside.

Ivan Sorensen
Villagers flee in terror. Turns out the most noble, goody-two-shoes in the party looks exactly like the torturer of the local king/duke/evil wizard

Goblins Henchman
Party mistaken for a group hired to rid them of a monsterous threat

Party pelted with rotten eggs and waste; the group is so reviled it is impossible to figure out what the village is so irrate about

Some villages think one party member is the lost boy stolen/sold decades ago

Party enter on 'Hero's Harvest Day', where village girls of marragable age dress up nice and try to catch the eye of the boys from neighbouring villages who dress up as adventuring Heros.

It's the third day of the purification ritual, when only the dead are said to roam the streets

A piped-pipers has been hired to charm were-rats from the sewer, it is assumed to party are those were-rats in their human form

Villages think the party broke the main gate and want them to fix it

Villages think the party are costume actors, and want to hear their 'story plays'

Villages think the party are murder-hobos

Villages want the party to return payment, sent to them by their 'agent'; the 'agent' promised to hire adventures to find and return their missing children, which the village did themselves due to the delay in the party's appearance

Every hound in the village howls and barks at the party members, perhaps the scent of a monster or dungeon lingers on the party, the villagers therefore think the party are fiends!

They think one of the party is the King in disguise, with likewise accompanying disguised Royal

Vilages think the party are bounty hunters looking for the village trouble maker and spokeswoman 

The village is the front for a malign cult, they think the adventures are spys trying to uncover them
