Roll d66 for prefix, root, and suffix. Many real names just use two of these, some even dropping the root and becoming just the prefix and suffix together. Munge as needed.
A couple examples!
41 + 13 + 31 = (king) + (axe, exe, usk, esk) + (field). Eskfield. A river flows through a forest clearing.
35 + 46 + 52 = (kil, Cil) + (knock, cnwc) + (stead). Kilnockstead. An old church perched on a rocky hill with an enclosed pasture nearby.
