How to use

- Hit Generate to roll a list of original names, each with a short adventurer backstory you can read and copy.
FAQ
- Are the names completely random?
- Not entirely. Each race pulls from its own syllable database and modifier rules built around a distinct mythic feel — elf names lean on soft vowels and sounds like "El" and "Ah," while orc names hit harder with plosives like "Grak" and "Bar." The result is a name that actually sounds like it belongs to the race you picked, not just random letters.
- Can I use a generated name directly in a commercial game or novel?
- Yes — the generated nicknames and short backstory tags are free to use in commercial creative work, like an indie game character or a novel's protagonist, with no copyright restrictions. Since a random generator can occasionally land on a name close to an existing well-known IP, it's still worth doing a quick search before finalizing it.
