How it works

Names built by combining syllables

The names are formed by combining word beginnings and endings specific to each theme and gender. The meaning shown is a text created to give the character some context, not the real origin of a name.

Gender

Masculine, feminine, or neutral.

It refers to the name's sound, not to rules for the character.

Theme

Literature, astronomy, and modern fantasy.

Each theme has a different naming style.

History

The 10 most recent names are listed.

The history lasts for the current session.

Verifiable example

A batch of three names

Choose a gender and a theme and ask for three names.

Quantity

3 names

Repetition

the three names in a batch are different

If the chosen combination has few names, the batch may be less varied.

Limits

Inspiration, not historical research

The meanings are fictional and meant to spark ideas.

Do not use the meanings as a historical or etymological source.
Each gender and theme combination has up to 300 names; they may repeat across generations.
Check whether a name is already a registered trademark before using it in a commercial product.
