How the Hades Name Generator works
A Hades name generator for underworld gods, shades, blessings and chambers. Hades is an action game set in a Greek underworld full of gods, restless shades of the dead and chambers you fight through again and again, powered by blessings from Olympus. Generate original gods, shades, blessings and chambers for your OC or fan story.
How the Hades name generator works
Underworld gods get original Greek-sounding names built from real roots, such as lethe for forgetting and skotos for darkness, plus a grand title, Lethaia, Goddess of Forgotten Things. Shades, the spirits of the dead, get real ancient Greek given names and an epithet about their life or death, Glaukos the Drowned. Blessings, the gifts gods give a hero, pair a power word with an effect, Thundering Strike or Honeyed Favour. Chambers name the rooms of the underworld, the Weeping Colonnade or the Drowned Ferry-Dock, each with its own mood.
Original gods
The gods here are invented, not the real Greek gods, so your OC can have a place in the underworld without clashing with the famous cast.

FAQ
How do I make a Hades OC name?
Pick a Greek root that fits your character's power, like nyx for night or kryo for cold, and build a name around it. Add a title that tells what they rule or guard, like Keeper of the Last Lamp.
What are shades?
Shades are the spirits of the dead who live in the underworld. Their names are ordinary ancient Greek names, with an epithet about who they were in life or how they died, like Myrrha the Weaver or Philon the Gambler.
How do I name a godly blessing?
Pair a word that shows which god gave the gift, like Thundering for a sky god or Tidal for a sea god, with a word for the effect, like Strike or Grace, so players know what it does.
Can I use these names in other games?
Yes. The names are original and fit any roguelike, action game, tabletop campaign or story set in a Greek-style underworld, with invented gods, restless shades, godly gifts and gloomy chambers to fight through.
