Names

Names are often a problem to come up with, so there's a variety of generators for people, places, and things!

General

Extreme Fantasy Names For those more over-the-top fantasy names, suitable for grim heroes, overpowered heroines, and the general over-the-top types of character. Or parents with no thought of a child's future!

Greek Namers It produces greek-sounding names - they may not translate to anything, but they'll sound right!

Quick Character Namers Generates basic names, based off of census data for America. Uses common names only. Special thanks to the man behind This Page for making the data available. His generator is, honestly, far superior to this one, but I created this so I had a convenient utility on-page for people.

Weird Name Generators When you really need something strange, come here. Perfect for alien names, supernatural beings, and other strange names.

Dark/Evil Names

Dark Elf Names Not all elves are nice, after all.

Evil Names Inspired by the "unqiue monsters" of Diablo II, this generator lets you create evil-sounding names - and set the parameters for their generation!

Evil Sounding Names Uses patterns derived from the evil beings, things, and places in Tolkien's world. Great if you need something that "sounds evil."

Goblin Names Need to name members of your Rampaging Hordes of Vaguely Humanoid Evil? This is the place to do it - from first names to last names.

Lovecraftian Names Names for otherworldly and outworldly horrors, in the style of H.P. Lovecraft and those who followed in his footsteps.

Pirate Ship Names Inspired by "Pirates of the Caribbean," this is for when you need those nasty-sounding vessels.

Vampire Names Based on "common" vampire concepts I've seen, this is the generator for your own bloodsuckers. Also good for producing general "menacing" names.

Species/Specific

Theme

Western Names Next time you've got a story on the American Fronteir or the Weirded-out West, come here for quick names and ideas!

Wrestler Names Get yourself some new ideas and names for wrestling characters and e-feds!

Locations

Realms Need to give a Kingdom, Provice, or other setting an interesting title like "Dragon's Empire" or "Kingdom of the Great Grail"? Or need to whip up an idea for a political entity? Try this!

Tavern Names Where's the next drink, next clue, or next bar fight coming from? Inns and tavers are such an integral part of the average fantasyscape that naming them can be difficult (or boring). Skewed towards fantasy-style names, obviously.

Ships

Pirate Ship Names For your more "piratey" sounding ships.

Ship Names Generates ship names in a variety of style - perfect for anything from a personal craft to a starship, just spend some time generating to get one that fits.
