Find the right name for your hero, villain, or side character, complete with an optional epithet like 'the Wise' or 'Stormborn' to give them instant presence.
Naming characters is where a lot of stories stall. This generator pairs first and last names and can add a fitting epithet, turning a plain name into 'Elara Voss the Undaunted' or 'Rowan Blackwood Ironheart' — the kind of name that suggests a whole backstory.
Choose a masculine, feminine, or any-style feel, and generate a full cast at once. Ideal for novels, screenplays, Dungeons & Dragons characters, and video-game role-play.
Frequently asked questions
Can I turn the epithets off?
Yes — untick 'Add epithets' for clean first-and-last names with no title attached.
Are these names free to use?
Yes. Generated names aren't copyrightable individually, so use them freely in any creative project.
