What is a Fantasy Name Generator?
A fantasy name generator creates unique character names for tabletop RPGs, novels, video games, and creative writing. Different fantasy races have distinct naming conventions: elves use flowing, melodic names; dwarves use hard, guttural sounds; orcs use aggressive consonants; wizards use mystical, ancient-sounding names. Our generator covers six major fantasy archetypes so you can find the perfect name for any character, regardless of their race or role.
