How the Star Trek-style Name Generator (Vulcan, Klingon, Romulan, Bajoran, Ferengi, Andorian, Cardassian) works
A Star Trek name generator for seven of the franchise's best-known species: Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans, Bajorans, Ferengi, Andorians and Cardassians. Each follows its own naming habits, from T' for Vulcan women to son of for Klingons and Gul for Cardassian officers. Pick a species and gender and crew a starship.
How the Star Trek name generator works
Star Trek species have distinct naming rules. Vulcan men's names often begin with S (Spock, Sarek, Sybok) and women's with T' (T'Pol, T'Pring). Klingons give their father's name, as in Worf, son of Mogh, and belong to houses. Bajorans put the family name first, as in Kira Nerys. Cardassian names are single, often paired with ranks like Gul or Legate. The generator applies each rule to its own lists.
Ranks and houses
Romulans hold ranks like Commander and belong to great houses. Ferengi men are addressed by titles like DaiMon, a ship commander, or Grand Nagus. Andorians sometimes use honorific prefixes like Th' and Sh'. Vedek is a Bajoran religious rank. These titles add flavour and a sense of place to a name.
Using the names
Use them for Star Trek OCs, fan fiction and the Star Trek Adventures RPG. For deeper Klingon and Vulcan names, see the separate Klingon and Vulcan name generators. This site is not affiliated with Paramount or CBS Studios.
FAQ
Why do Vulcan names start with S or T?
In the original series, most male Vulcans had names starting with S, and most females names starting with T'. Later series kept the convention loosely, with exceptions like Tuvok and Vorik. The generator follows the convention for most names and mixes in some exceptions.
Why do Bajorans put their family name first?
Bajoran naming puts the family name before the given name, as in many East Asian cultures. Kira Nerys is addressed as Nerys by friends, and Major Kira by colleagues. Ro Laren's insistence on this order is a character point in The Next Generation.
What does Gul mean in Cardassian?
Gul is a Cardassian military rank, roughly equal to captain. Other ranks include Glinn, below Gul, and Legate, the highest rank. Cardassian names are single words, so the rank usually comes before the name.
Can I use these names in Star Trek Adventures?
Yes. These names suit Star Trek Adventures and other Star Trek tabletop games. Some familiar names are in the lists for flavour, so pair them with a new house or rank for original characters.
