Fantasy names work best when they are easy to read aloud but still feel foreign. The generator builds first names from soft and hard syllables and pairs them with descriptive surnames like Stormwind or Ravenhollow, which hint at a family's history or homeland.
Tips for naming characters
- Give main characters names that start with different letters, so readers never mix them up.
- Match the sound to the culture: hard consonants (K, G, R) for warriors and mountain folk, soft ones (L, S, Y) for elves and mages.
- Say the name out loud. If you have to explain how to pronounce it, simplify it.
