Fantasy Name Generators
Names for fantasy worlds. The generic pages cover characters, surnames, kingdoms, cities, towns, taverns, guilds, castles, dungeons, weapons, spells, potions, deities and prophecies; the race pages give one generator per fantasy people, from elves and dwarves to tieflings, dragonborn, goblins, merfolk and djinn, each built on that people's own sound and structure.

Two kinds of page
The fantasy section splits in two. The generic pages produce the things a world needs that are not tied to a single people: a kingdom and its capital, a village and its tavern, a guild, a noble house with a motto, a named sword, a spell, a potion, a festival, a currency, a god and a pantheon to put the god in. They are the pages to reach for when you are sketching a setting or filling a map. The race pages produce personal names in the style of one fantasy people, and there are a lot of them because the peoples are what players and writers search for by name.
How the names are built
Every generator on this section works the same way. A page carries a set of patterns, such as "first name plus clan name" or "adjective plus noun of the deep", and a set of word lists to fill them, and each click picks a pattern and fills it at random. The lists are written per page so that a dwarf name sounds like a dwarf and an elf name sounds like an elf: hard consonants, short vowels and clan suffixes for the one, flowing liquids and long vowels for the other. Where a people has recognisable subtypes, the page has a select for them, so the elf page separates high, wood and dark elves and the dwarf page lets you add a clan.
What the names are for
Tabletop campaigns are the main use, and the pages are built with a game master in mind: a count field so you can generate a whole tavern's worth of patrons at once, place pages that produce a name and a hook you can hang a scene on, and a map-labels page that turns out a batch of mixed rivers, forests and towns in one go. Novelists and world-builders use the same pages more slowly, generating dozens of results and keeping one. Video game character screens, forum handles and fantasy football team names are the rest.
Originality
The lists are original syllable tables and word lists rather than names lifted from published settings. A result may by chance match a name in a novel or a game, so check before you put one on a book cover, but nothing on this section is copied from a rulebook. Where a page describes a people that exists under a trademark, it describes the general idea, not the trademarked version.
Privacy
Nothing is sent anywhere. The lists ship with the page and the picking happens in your browser.
