Useful Character Name Generators

I'm trying to write my first book and I need a name for my main character. Would love some ideas! He's a 28 year old historian, and linguist who teaches European History at an Ivy League university. He was born in 1996, in America to Scottish immigrant parents. This book is sort of like... Outlander meets Assassin's Creed, with maybe some "Chosen One" and Hero's Tale vibes. Open to questions if there's anything else you need to know.

basically, he is an astronaut who betrayed his crew. he reunites with them but has to earn their trust. He is a positive ray of sunshine who can easily make friends but has one hell of a filthy mouth; cursing at least once with every sentence. he rarely takes things seriously but when he does, he is SERIOUS. his Chinese heritage has nothing to do with the story, however. he's an astronaut who betrayed his crew and just happens to be Chinese. his name doesn't have to be space related but if not that, i would like a name that sounds good to say. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

i need help with finding the oc i drew a name. he doesn't have a mouth nor nose just big black eyes, i want a name that matches with this description and to be somehow creepy so it's easily understood that my oc is a monster, i would also want the name to mean something to do with eyes and seeing! :3

He’s a high school senior who had a tough time growing up. He works two jobs a convenience store cashier and a drug dealer. Very very sweet and supports all of his friends but his home life is terrible. He currently lives with his aunt and his is bisexual! Also, he is smart but it’s unexpected.

I can’t think of anything at all so much help is appreciated lol

I've got a police officer named Gunk in a book I'm writing. He's disgusting and brutish but has an impeccable charm to him that makes readers love to hate him-sort of in a White Goodman from Dodgeball kind of way.

He's a good read and the name fits him perfectly- but my wife absolutely hates it because I have another character with a very similar four-letter name.

I need some names for a strong, brute cop who's parents obviously hated him when they named him. A name that is just repulsive to read, but also not too outlandish or complicated.

im making a game, and there's that super important character which I cant choose a name. He's the player's best friend, he's cheerful, courageous and very energetic. Eventually he finds out he has cancer, but he's not afraid of it, being very resilient and brave. He's a very important character for the plot .

Appearance: medium length brown hair, brown eyes, white skin, always bruised from some idea that has gone wrong.

1: a little cute fluffy wendigo that protects a forest and is based on king from the owl house he has a full form when he loses this plushy, he carries around or if it’s damaged and will turn it into a more traditional Wendigo. 2. I have a dragon that is a crystal dragon that lives underground with a colour scheme of purples and pinks, but mainly grey and black. His brother is called ex-saviour end. He currently just has a title of king of the caverns he used to be the king and is immortal, but had a disease that made crystals grow all over him making him lose his sanity, having no other choice, but to be chained up in a prison underground.

Hey everyone, I’m struggling to decide on a fitting name for my main female character.

She in her mid 30’ and she is fighting everyday to overcome her traumatic past (she was sold into sex trafficking and was tied to a bed for 3 years), she was able to get out of that alive. Unfortunately she didn’t have any family or a support system and had abusive relationship after relationship. When she had her son she left the dad and went to a safe house and focused on her and her son. Just when she thought her chance for happiness her son passed away just before his 1st birthday (SIDS) . Now she is on the path of healing and forgiving hersel and finding love for within.

Im trying to find a name that could fit her. I want to avoid names that are incredibly common like Jessica or Ashley. It also doesn’t have to be gender specific.

thanks for reading this long post lol

Character is an action/adventure hero with the surname "Zero." What's a good first name that rolls with Zero?

I have a character named "Brim Stoker" with Brim being a shortened down version of Brimstone, however, Brim sounds more like a nickname. Brim is a demon who works as a butcher and has furnace qualities (His mouth effectively being a furnace).

Does anyone have any suggestions for a better name than Brim which would be furnace-themed or anything similar?

For my performing arts university we need to make a musical based on the seven deadly sins, I am playing envy and I need a name that reflects that, male or female don’t mind I’m NB

So I have one of my characters mostly developed, but I'm yet to find a name that I feel fits her. She has kind of a darker vibe to her that doesn't fit most names people think of when they hear siren, so if you could help me out that would be great!

This guy is the leader of a group of ant raiders known as the Urgis Clan, all of them based on Polyurgis Ants. They can't really do anything right by themselves so they use chemical warfare to steal children from villages to raise them as slaves.

This guy specifically is studying ways to perfect his chemicals as well as attempting to create a new kind of Magic (there are only a few varieties of magic in this world). I'd prefer not to have names based on his species as there are a lot of other ants just like him.

Heres the problem: I have a dragon named Drako. Not only is it kinda silly to have a dragon named dragon, I also see way too many people asking if he's named after Draco Malfoy, which he is not.

The thing is. I want to rename him. Ive tried to rename him. And yet, every single time, I just keep coming back to Drako because now Im attached to the name.

And I dont like it. I dont like the name itself, I dont like the character that most people associate with it, and I dont like the meaning.

So one of my main characters needs a last name and his first name is Charlie. He's a shy but intelligent character and I need a last name that will compliment his first name, but also one that will match his personality. I was going to go with Charlie Ritz but it doesn't sound right.

I've just realised that my main character has the same name that ChatGPT uses when you ask it to create a story. Obviously I can change her name, but the current name feels like the exact right fit for the character.

I’m crafting a story, and my protagonist’s first name is Samuel. Now, I’m searching for the ideal last name to complete his identity.

Here’s what I’m aiming for:

A name with a timeless feel, perhaps something inspired by the 1700s.

European or French in origin, but nothing too difficult to pronounce.

Something that sounds strong, elegant, and memorable, a name fit for a main character.

It doesn’t need to have a specific meaning, but it should feel impactful when you hear it.

If you have any suggestions or ideas, I’d really appreciate your input.

I’ve got down some names Such as

Cookie, honey, Bon Bon, Gumdrop, Cupcake,

I could always merge some of the names together but I don’t know which ones to do. 😑 I did do a few of them but they sounded weird

i have a character who wears a ringmaster outfit and i want a name that has references to/ is circus themed!!

Hi! I've been writing a book for ages but to this day Im still not set on a name for my mc, female tween/teen, really not much data is needed apart from the fact that I am set on the name meaning "strong willed" and if possible (Im not set on this following part) Id like it to start with either A or I but only because those letters speak the most "determination" for me, and thats what im going for. Shes determined and resillient and, precisely, strong willed, and I need a name conveying that.

For now the only one I've found is "Isa" which I like, but simply feels too short. I don't feel like its memorable or easy to say, if that makes sense.

Thanks in advance!

Ive been looking at name generators and i cant find ones that i like. Im trying to create a character so if anyone knows names please share (i dont really care if it’s unique, but if you know the origin please add that!)

Hello everyone. I need good name for my gaming account with lich wizard avatar. The avatar just looks like skeleton casting as spell. It can be as inappropriate as you would like :)

This character is for a post apocalyptic sci-fi comic series I’m making and in this world robots are fround upon so please can I have sort of a robotic nearly-human name but still with robot themes to suggest that he changed his original name to appear more lika a human. Thanks

I’m writing a novel the character joins a magical hidden world. The character I need a name for is the main characters love interest. She is a pretty girl not conventionally pretty but is definitely good looking if that makes since. She shape shifts and is foreign. Anyway any names suggestions would be nice

I can't find the right name to name my Arcane OC. Context: They're genderfluid and have the ability to manipulate darkness and shadows, and they're a kid- probably fifteen? They're most comfortable in darkness and features reflect that- dark hair, dark eyes, dark clothing. I was thinking in order to best fit the Arcane medium, it would be a name that isn't really a name- like the shortened version of just some name of an object that gets turned into a person name. The issue is I can't figure out what that word would be and nothing I've tried seems to fit. Any suggestions would help.

I'm looking for a pet name (lmao) that means pet in some way? For a character who is treated more like a per than a daughter by the figure they see as a parent. It would be used by the "parent" as a "sweet pet name/nickname," but it should have a more sinister meaning other languages are encouraged <33

I need last name ideas for Ava and Naomi, I’m thinking of naming a character one of these names but I need last names that go with the names to help with figuring out which one I like better.

Any ideas are welcome

Hello all! I need help with my main character's name. I'm rewriting my story from about four years ago and the name I had just doesn't fit.
