About this fantasy name generator
Invented names fail in one of two ways: either they are unpronounceable, and the table spends the session calling the character "the wizard", or they are so plain they read as a placeholder. This generator builds from three syllable banks, an onset, a middle, and a coda, which keeps the results pronounceable while making the space of possible names much larger than the number of words stored. Roughly one name in three arrives with an epithet like Stormborn or of the Ashen Vale, which is often the part that suggests who the character is before you have decided. Names are assembled locally in your browser. Take a few, say them out loud, and keep the ones that survive being spoken across a noisy table, because that is the real test for a campaign name.
