How the Guild Wars 2 Name Generator works
A Guild Wars 2 name generator for new characters and guilds. Each playable race type in the game has a distinct naming culture, from Nordic horned giants to tiny, arrogant inventors and plant folk with soft, lyrical names. Pick a race type and generate a character name, or generate a guild name for your friends.
How the Guild Wars 2 name generator works
Humans get classical and English given names with grand surnames, Cassius Valcourt. Horned giants get Norse given names and a surname tied to their spirit animal, Torvald Frostmane. Small inventors get short, punchy names with doubled letters, Blimm or Gixx, and can be as smug as you like. Fire-forged warriors get hard names and battle surnames, Varek Ashmaw. Plant folk get soft, flowing names with Celtic and Welsh sounds, Trelle or Maeyne. Guild names pair a strong adjective or place with a company word, the Jade Wardens or the Accord of the Shattered Sky.
Race types, not trademarks
The generator lists each race by type so the names stay original. Pick the type that matches your character in the creator.
