Generate otherworldly names for aliens, colonists, and starship crews, with an optional grand title like 'of the Void' or 'Starborn'. Built to sound futuristic without becoming a tangle of apostrophes.
Science fiction lives or dies on names that feel from-somewhere-else yet still readable. This generator mixes crisp, unfamiliar syllables to land that alien tone, and can append an epic title for rulers, warlords, and legends.
Great for tabletop campaigns, video-game avatars, and stories set among the stars.
Science-fiction names tend to feel invented but pronounceable: short, sharp syllables with sounds like x, z, and v that suggest distant worlds and unfamiliar cultures. These names are built from that kind of syllable bank, with an optional title like of Andromeda or the Ascended for characters who need a bit more grandeur.
Use them for pilots, colonists, alien ambassadors, rogue AIs, or tabletop sci-fi campaigns. If you need names for the ships they fly, try the spaceship name generator, or the character name generator for more general options.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a title with the name?
Yes — turn on 'Add a title' for grand epithets like 'Prime' or 'of Andromeda'.
Are they pronounceable?
That is the aim — the syllables are chosen to sound alien while staying easy to say at the table.
Can I use these names in a game or novel?
Yes. They are generated from original word parts, so they are free to use. As with any invented name, a quick search is wise to avoid an accidental match with a famous character.
