How do I make a fantasy name sound original?
Combine familiar sounds in a new order, keep it to two or three syllables, and add a surname or epithet that hints at the character's story, like Stormborn or Ironhand.
Can I use these names in my book or game?
Yes. Names generated here are free to use in novels, games, campaigns and streams. Do a quick search to make sure a name is not already a famous character.
