Tips for Using the Character Name Generator
Coming up with the right names for your characters can be tough. Whether you’re a novelist, a Dungeons & Dragons player, looking for name suggestions to use in video games … you want the perfect name.
Some online tools just come up with random names, but I’ve designed this free tool to take into account your character’s age, ethnicity, and even their personality. You can add middle names, too, if you like.
Tip: Want to use this tool as a fantasy name generator? Just type “Fantasy” into the Ethnicity box.
