How the Waifu Name Generator works
A waifu name generator for anime waifu and husbando characters. Pick a detail and generate a name, a personality type, a look or a full character with a cute quirk. Use it for OCs, dating sim characters, fan fiction or just to see who you get. The Gender option switches between waifu and husbando names.
How the waifu name generator works
Names are Japanese-order, surname first, with soft given names common in romance anime. Personality types use the classic anime archetypes, from tsundere to cool senpai. Looks describe the hair, eyes and outfit, the things that make an anime character recognisable at a glance. Quirks add the charming flaw that makes a character feel real. For other anime characters, try the anime character name generator.
The dere types
Anime fans sort romance characters into dere types. Tsundere are harsh outside but kind inside, kuudere are cool and calm, dandere are shy and quiet, and yandere are sweet but dangerously obsessive.
FAQ
What does waifu mean?
Waifu comes from the Japanese pronunciation of the English word wife. Anime fans use it for a favourite female character they adore. Husbando is the male version, used for a favourite male character.
What is a tsundere?
A tsundere is a character who acts cold or annoyed but is secretly caring. The word joins tsun tsun, meaning prickly, and dere dere, meaning lovey-dovey. It is one of the best known anime personality types.
Can I make a husbando instead?
Yes. Switch the Gender option to male for husbando names. The personality types, looks and quirks work for any character, so you can mix and match to make your ideal anime partner.
Are these characters from real anime?
No. The names, types and quirks are original combinations. Anime archetypes are shared across the genre, so some combinations may remind you of famous characters, but none are copied.
