CodeKitHubWhat Is This Tool?

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get the same names every time?
No — six names are picked at random from each category's pool every time you click "Generate," so you'll usually see a different set each time.
What's the difference between the four categories?
Fantasy/Medieval covers general-purpose taverns and inns, Pirate leans nautical and salty, Dwarven fits underground or mountain settings, and Funny goes for a laugh over authenticity.
Can I use these names in my own campaign or writing?
Yes — these are original names free to use in your D&D campaign, novel, or any other project.
Does this tool save or track the names I copy?
No. Name selection and copying both happen entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to or stored on a server.
