How the Cowboy Bebop-style Name Generator works
A Cowboy Bebop name generator for bounty hunters, bounty heads, syndicate figures, ships and even episode titles. Hunters and heads get jazz-and-noir names and nicknames, bounties are priced in woolongs, and episodes are named after musical forms. Pick a kind and catch the next bounty. See you, space cowboy.
How the Cowboy Bebop name generator works
Cowboy Bebop mixes jazz, noir and westerns in a solar system of terraformed moons and hyperspace gates. Characters have cool, international names: Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Radical Edward. Bounty heads often carry a nickname or alias and a price in woolongs, the show's currency. The generator gives both, and places a head on Mars, Ganymede or another world.
Syndicates, ships and episodes
The Red Dragon syndicate controls organised crime on Mars, with elders known as the Van. Ships are small and personal: the Swordfish II, the Red Tail, the Hammerhead, with the Bebop itself a converted fishing trawler. Episodes are called sessions and named after music: Asteroid Blues, Jupiter Jazz, Ballad of Fallen Angels. The Episode option builds titles in that format.

FAQ
What is a woolong?
The woolong is the currency in Cowboy Bebop. Bounties range from a few hundred thousand woolongs for petty criminals to hundreds of millions for dangerous heads. The generator attaches a price in millions to each bounty head for flavour.
How are Cowboy Bebop episodes named?
Each episode, or session, is named after a musical form or a famous song: Asteroid Blues, Sympathy for the Devil, Honky Tonk Women, Jupiter Jazz. The episode option joins an image or reference with a genre like blues, waltz or rhapsody.
What is the Red Dragon syndicate?
The Red Dragon is the crime syndicate Spike and Vicious belonged to, run by three elders called the Van. The generator offers the Red Dragon alongside invented syndicates with similar animal and colour names for your own story.
Can I use these names in a space bounty hunter game?
Yes. They suit tabletop games like Cowboy Bebop inspired campaigns, Stars Without Number or Traveller, as well as fan fiction. Generate a crew of hunters, a head worth chasing and a ship with a jazz name to begin.
