#name generation

1: Jasontank's GenWord

GenWord is a pretty handy tool. While it has its cons, it can be used for generating names just fine.

Define categories, put categories into syllable arrangements, and see the results. The site is specifically useful for creating lists of all possible syllables in a given naming system - Or all possible combinatoric names - Automatically without RNG involved. Warning, though - It might lag your browser if the parameters result in very large number of names in the output. Automatically alphabetizes names and possible syllables, as well as that it is capable of generating mockup text of a language meeting the structural parameters given by the user.

Personal score: 6.6/10 ⭐

2: Samcode's Markov NameGen

Based on Markov chains, this generator requires input in form of names the "vibe" of which you want to capture, and returns an output loosely matching said vibe.

With a pretty large selection of inbuilt presets you can throw together into a potluck input, the user is met with both a pro and con: The presets are useful, yet many of them are not quite fit for name generation per my personal judgement, resulting in odd-ish sounding names and trash data patterns in the output. Thus, the biggest con is having to format your own input by filtering text and copy-pasting it into the input field.

I have a blog where I post names generated using this site.

3: VulgarLang

Generative language generator with fleshed out features, yet with many of them hidden behind paywall. Feels predatory.

Personal score: 3.3/10 ⭐

4: Woowspace Awkwords

Tricky syntax that pays out big-time. Fantastic generative capabilities with RNG categories, in-category branching, with the only cons being no enforcement of numbers of generated names with Filter Duplicates option enabled, and the maximum of generated names being 9999 and no higher.

Miscellaneous online text tools I utilize:

This is a blog creating random procedural-generated name stashes of wide variety, using tools like Awkwords, the Cryptolang Documentation Standard Automaton, and Markov Namegen. Since the blog spits out more "exotic" names, it is recommended you visit @444names - The main blog of the two - For solely Markov Namegen generated names.

The stashes will be numbered starting with 1/5/2025. This means the ≈500 stashes beforehand are going to be lacking any numeration. You can find most of the numerated posts via the #444list tag (streaks of me forgetting to tag lists happen - I mass edit posts afterwards later on to add it back).

I strive to have each stash number 444 names within itself, but there is no guarantee about that number; Some will have more, some posts will consist of just one name (and won't be put into the stash list probably).

ALL NAMES GENERATED ARE FREE TO USE, Though I'd appreciate credit, if possible.

Do it enough times for a cool sounding name of anything.

Janelle Shane is continuing her experiments with neural nets naming things. She’s even found a practical use for them: naming guinea pigs. It turns out that naming things with a neural net is a good way to drum up attention for animal rescue adoptions.

Generative methods are pretty useful for coming up with names. While it’s not a daily need for most of us, there are a number of practical uses for a name generator: picking project code names, creating test data, coming up with an original but pronounceable name for a drug, and--in this case--naming rescued animals.

She didn’t stop with guinea pigs. Her other recent experiments include Star Wars planets, sports teams, Harry Potter fanfic summaries, and better paint colors.

Perhaps just take two random syllables to create a nordic/scandinavian inspired name. Serndul, Binfern, Varslyn...

Tip: Don’t capitalize the first letter of each word, just trust me.
