What is a fantasy name generator?
This tool combines syllables that match the feel of each fantasy race to generate plausible names you can use as a starting point for a novel, a tabletop RPG (TTRPG) character, or a video game character.
Naming style by race
- Elf: soft, flowing, often longer names.
- Dwarf: short, hard-sounding names.
- Orc: rough, harsh-sounding names.
- Human: a feel common in medieval European-style names.
