How the Hippie Name Generator works
This hippie name generator turns you into a flower child with names like Willow Moondance, Cosmo Starchild and Harmony Sunshine. Use one for a 60s or 70s costume party, a festival weekend, a tie-dye shop sign, a character in a period story or just for a laugh with friends.
How the hippie name generator works
Pick a vibe, or leave it on Any. Nature names come from plants, rivers and weather, cosmic names from stars and the zodiac, and peace-and-love names from the ideals of the 1960s counterculture. Each first name is paired with a classic made-up hippie surname like Moonbeam or Freebird.
Where hippie names come from
In the late 1960s many young people in communes and the counterculture dropped their given names for chosen ones that reflected nature, spirituality or peace, and some gave their children names like Moon Unit, Dweezil, River and Summer. Rock and folk music, Eastern spirituality and the Age of Aquarius all fed into the style, which is why words like Karma, Dharma and Om sit next to Sunflower and Rain.
Party and costume ideas
Wear your name on a flower-shaped badge at a 60s party, sign the guest book with it, or give everyone a hippie name at the door. For other decades and themes, try the hipster name generator or the nickname generator.
