About this tool

Stuck naming a character, faction, planet, tavern or magic item? The Fantasy & Sci-Fi Name Generator produces batches of names for humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, sci-fi characters, AI/robots, fantasy and sci-fi factions and items/artifacts — so you can skim a list and grab the ones that sound right for your world.

Names are assembled from syllable patterns rather than pulled from a fixed list, so you get fresh combinations every time instead of the same hundred names everyone else has. Generate as many batches as you like, copy your favourites, and move on with actually building your game or story.

How to use it

  1. Pick a category tab (human, elf, dwarf, orc, sci-fi character, AI/robot, faction, item).
  2. Click generate to get a batch of ten names.
  3. Skim the list and hit the copy button next to any name, or copy the whole batch.
  4. Regenerate as often as you want — every batch is new.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use these names in a published game or book?

Yes. The names are generated procedurally and are not taken from any copyrighted source. Always do a quick search for the ones you keep, in case a generated name happens to coincide with an existing brand.

Why do some names look strange?

Procedural generation trades a few odd results for a lot of variety. Generate a bigger batch and pick the best ones — the good names are usually there.

Does it work offline?
