How the Generators Work

Original word lists, real options and guides behind the names

Word Lists Written for Each Subject

Every generator has its own lists and patterns: soft, flowing syllables for elves, clan names built from crafts for dwarves, two words and a number for Roblox usernames. Each tool page shows how its names are built.

Options That Change the Result

Many tools let you choose a style, such as Face or Heel for a wrestler, Orc-raised or Human-raised for a half-orc, or a species for a pet.

Guides Behind the Names

The naming guides explain what makes a name work, with worked examples you can adapt. Free to use, with no account needed.
