Frequently asked questions
What kinds of names can it generate?
Four styles: realistic people names (first + surname), fantasy names with epic titles, cute one-word pet names, and brandable two-word business names.
Are the fantasy names good for D&D or stories?
Yes — they pair invented first names with evocative titles like ‘Stormborn’ or ‘the Wise’, which works great for characters, NPCs and world-building.
Can I get a batch of names at once?
Yes. Press ‘Give me 8’ to see eight unique suggestions, then click any to copy it.
Are business names checked for availability?
No — they are creative starting points only. Always check domain and trademark availability before using a business name commercially.
