Ever got stuck at the "Your name here" part of a role playing character sheet or video game? Are you the GM of a pen & paper RPG, currently in urgent need of names for a group of elves, dwarves, orcs, etc.? Or perhaps you're writing a fantasy novel? This site can probably help.


Select a name type and length:

Name length:



Some tips:

  • Fantasy surnames work well only as short names, as medium or long ones will probably sound ridiculous (e.g. Stormwolfblade). Unless that's your intention, of course.
  • Apostrophes (') and dashes (-) only appear in medium and long names.
  • English names are in the format "name surname" (short) or "name middle-name surname" (medium or long, which in this case are the same).
  • For place names, fantasy titles, superhero / supervillain names, rock band names, or military operation names, the length selection doesn't affect anything.
  • A list of suggestions may not have exactly what you're looking for, but may inspire you to think of it on your own -- possibly a variation of one of the suggestions.
