How the Destiny-style Name Generator (Guardian, Exo, Awoken) works
A Destiny name generator for Guardians, Exos, Awoken, Ghosts and fireteams. Human Guardians get a class and a surname, Exos a machine name and a number, Awoken a cool, lunar-sounding name tied to the Reef, and Ghosts a small bright word. Pick a kind and wake up in the ruins of the Cosmodrome.
How the Destiny name generator works
Destiny has three playable races and each names differently. Humans use ordinary names with a hard edge, often with a class in front: Hunter, Titan or Warlock. Exos are war machines with human minds, and their names are short and clipped, sometimes followed by a number that tells you how many times the Exo has been reset. Awoken are the pale, blue-skinned people of the Reef and the Dreaming City, and their names are soft and a little formal, sometimes hyphenated.
Ghosts and fireteams
Every Guardian has a Ghost, a small floating machine that brings them back to life, and Ghosts tend to have short, bright names like Shard or Glint. Players also run in fireteams of three to six, and a good fireteam name sounds like a squad crest: Iron Wolves, the Pale Lanterns, Fireteam Ashen.

FAQ
What do the numbers in Exo names mean?
In Destiny lore an Exo's number counts how many times its mind has been reset and rebooted. A low number means a fairly fresh Exo, and a high number hints at a long, troubled past. The generator adds a number to most Exo names for that reason.
How are Awoken names different from human names?
Awoken names are softer and more formal, with long vowels and endings like -ys, -ane and -ra, and some carry a hyphenated second part. They sound slightly cold and royal, which fits a people who grew up at the edge of the solar system under a queen.
What should I name my Ghost?
Ghosts usually have one short, bright word for a name, like Shard, Spark, Glint or Wisp, sometimes the word Ghost after it. Some players name their Ghost after the Guardian it raised. The generator offers both styles when you pick Ghost.
Can I use these for a clan or fireteam name?
Yes. Pick Fireteam to get squad names like Iron Wolves or the Pale Lanterns. They work as clan names, Discord server names or the name on a fan fiction team. Generate a batch of ten and read them aloud to hear which one sounds right.
