How our fantasy names are made

Most fantasy name generators pick from a fixed list, so everyone ends up with the same names. Ours build each name from sound rules written for each race: which sounds it starts with, which linking syllables it uses and how it ends. Elves get soft, flowing names; dwarves get short, hard ones; orcs get guttural ones. That gives thousands of combinations per race, and every name shows its syllables so you know how to say it at the table.

Frequently asked questions

Are these official D&D names?

No. They are original names generated from our own sound rules, so you can use them freely in campaigns, novels and games.

How do I say these names?

Each name shows its syllables, such as Syl·ro·ran. Say each syllable clearly; for most of these names, stressing the first syllable sounds natural.

Can I use these names?

Yes. Names are free to use for pets, stories, games, products and anything else. Real names come from public government records; fantasy names are generated, so you do not need permission to use them.
