Resource: Fantasy Name Generators

I used to think I was great at coming up with names – until I realised I wasn’t. At all.

It took me far too long to find Fantasy Name Generators, a website that pretty much instantly solved one of my most difficult writing struggles. The name is a bit deceiving; the name generators on the site aren’t just for fantasy stories. From steampunk house names to dance names and alien race descriptions, this site has everything. If you don’t believe me, just click the link and look.

Though I will sometimes pluck names straight from whichever generator I’m using, I usually take a name I like and tweak it a bit to make it even better or more relevant to the story I’m writing. However you want to use it, go for it! I highly suggest checking it out at least, even if you only use it for fun. I’ve had a great time looking through pop culture name generators like Gallifreyans, kandra, and My Hero Academia quirks.

Happy writing!
