Fantasy Name Generators

Houses, castles, lords and ladies, house words, dragons. Ten names a click, from word stock that all belongs to the same imaginary country — so what you roll actually sounds like it comes from somewhere.

Five generators, one country

These are deliberately not five unrelated toys. They share word stock, so a house, its seat, its words, its lord and its dragon can be generated in five clicks and still sound like they came out of the same place — which is the thing that is genuinely hard about naming a fantasy world and the thing most generators do not help with at all.

Roll a house. Roll it a castle. Roll it words. You now have more setting than most first sessions need:

Why the words are constrained

Every one of these generators could produce ten times as many names by loosening its word pools, and every one of them would immediately sound like nowhere. A name only feels like it belongs to a place if it shares morphemes with the other names from that place — the same handful of landscape words, the same endings, the same refusal to use adjectives.

So the pools are tied to the strategy game this site belongs to. The castle generator's word parts are required, by a check that fails the build, to be able to spell every seat the game's nine Great Houses actually hold. The house generator's beasts are the beasts on those houses' banners. The dragon epithets are the colours the game's own dragon eggs come in. None of that is retyped: it is read out of the game's code every time these pages are rebuilt.

No account, no limits

Nothing here asks for an email or sends what you generate anywhere — every generator runs entirely inside your own browser, which is also why they keep working if your connection drops. Click as many times as you like.

The page load itself is recorded, as it is everywhere on this site: a cookie, your IP address, your device, where you came from, and your account if you are signed in. The names you roll are not. What we record, and why.

Can I use these names?

Yes — for anything, including commercial work, with no permission and no credit required. Short strings like a name or a two-word motto are not the kind of thing anyone can own, and the crest you compose is your composition, not ours. Take it to a novel, a tabletop campaign, a stream overlay, a band, a boat, a business card.

We ask for exactly nothing in return: no account, no email, no sign-up, no watermark. Nothing you type or make here leaves your browser — these tools have no server behind them that could keep your design. Opening the page is recorded like any page on this site: what we record. If you want to tell somebody where it came from, a link back is kind, but it is not a condition.

More free tools

The heraldry forge designs a coat of arms and hands it back as a PNG or an SVG, and the which dragon would you ride quiz answers a question you did not know you had. If you are naming things for a game at a table rather than a page, the tabletop set rolls whole taverns, people and settlements rather than single words. Everything is on the tools index.
