How the EVE Online Name Generator works
An EVE Online name generator for pilots, corporations, alliances and ships. EVE is a vast sci-fi MMO where players run corporations, form alliances and fly fleets across a single shared universe. Generate pilot names in four empire styles, plus corporation, alliance and ship names.
How the EVE Online name generator works
Each empire style has a real-world inspiration. The holy empire uses grand Persian and Middle Eastern sounds with dynastic surnames, Tamaris Kosravan. The corporate state uses Finnish and Japanese sounds, Kaori Vasala, for a culture where business is everything. The liberal republic uses French and Italian names. The tribal republic uses Nordic given names and rugged surnames, Karin Stormbrand. Corporations sound like real companies, Null Logistics. Alliances sound like empires in their own right, the Starless Dominion. Ship names follow the dry, dark tradition of naming a warship after paperwork, the Final Invoice or the Unpaid Tax.
Empire styles, not trademarks
The generator describes each empire by type rather than by its published name, so all names are original. Match the style to your character's faction.

FAQ
What are the name rules in EVE Online?
EVE Online character names can be up to thirty-seven characters, using letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens and apostrophes. Every name is unique across the single shared server, so a distinctive first and last name is the safest choice.
How do I name an EVE corporation?
A good corporation name sounds like a real business with a sci-fi edge, like Void Holdings or Frontier Expeditions. You also need a short ticker of up to five characters, so pick a name that abbreviates neatly.
Why are EVE ship names so dry?
EVE players love dark humour about the brutal economy of the game, so ship names often reference bills, taxes and bad deals. A warship called the Final Invoice tells your victims exactly what the fight will cost them.
Can I use these names in other space games?
Yes. The names are original and fit any space opera setting with rival empires and player corporations, including other sci-fi MMOs, tabletop games like Traveller and science fiction stories of every kind.
