How the Starfield Name Generator works
This Starfield name generator gives you names in the grounded NASA-punk style of the Settled Systems: characters such as Mara Okafor, ships such as the Kestrel Mk II, outposts such as Helium Ridge Station and crews such as the Long Haul Freight Co. Use them for your own character, your fleet or your bases.
How the Starfield name generator fits the setting
Starfield is grounded science fiction. People have ordinary names drawn from every part of Earth, ships sound like working vehicles, and outposts are named like mining towns. The Character kind gives realistic first and last names with an occasional nickname, because spacers love them. The Ship kind mixes a working-animal or bird name with a manufacturer or a mark number. The Outpost kind sounds like a claim marker on a survey map, and the Crew kind names a business, since most crews in the game are trying to make a living.
Naming your outposts and fleet
A run of outposts reads better with a theme. Name them after geology, Basalt or Copper Flats, after what they mine, or after jokes your crew would make, Tin Can or Dustbowl. Ships work the same way: a fleet of birds or a fleet of pack animals makes the hangar screen look deliberate.
More names for your playthrough
Name extra ships with the starship name generator, the planets you claim with the planet name generator and the company that owns your debt with the megacorp name generator.

FAQ
How long can a Starfield character name be?
Starfield shows your name in dialogue and on menus. Keep a first and last name under about 20 characters so it fits cleanly; the generator's names stay well inside that limit.
What naming style does Starfield use?
Realistic and multicultural. Characters have ordinary Earth names, ships have model names and nicknames, and places are named like frontier towns. Avoid heavy fantasy names, which feel out of place there.
Are these official Starfield names?
No. The generator makes original names in a similar style, not names from the game's files. Any match with a named character or ship in the game is a coincidence.
