Detailed instructions

1. Set the count field to however many names you need in one batch, between 1 and 20.
2. Choose a gender filter — male, female, or any — to match your characters' identities.
3. Toggle 'Include Surname' on to get full names, or off if you only need given names.
4. Toggle 'Include Title' on when generating noble, knightly, or high-ranking characters.
5. Click Generate, scan the list, and copy any names that fit — regenerate freely to see new combinations.

Use Cases

• •Naming a full cast of knights and nobles in a historical fiction manuscript set in 12th-century England
• •Building a D&D party where each character needs a title and period-appropriate surname
• •Generating 50 NPC names for a medieval open-world RPG's procedural village system
• •Creating a LARP character persona with a socially ranked title and ancestral surname
• •Writing a creative writing assignment set in medieval Europe and needing authentic, varied character names

Tips

• →Generate with titles ON first, then strip the title manually if you want a character who earned rank but doesn't use it formally.
• →Run two separate batches — one male, one female — when naming a household or party, to avoid accidentally clustering similar-sounding names.
• →If a generated surname feels too obscure, try it with 'de' prefixed manually — 'de Wolfen' reads more immediately noble than 'Wolfen' alone.
• →For antagonists, favor names with harder consonants (Aldric, Wulfstan, Grimald); softer names (Isolde, Cecily, Elowen) read as sympathetic by default.
• →Cross-reference your final picks against each other — two characters named Aldric and Aldwin in the same story will confuse readers.
• →Generate batches of 12 or more when naming a full cast; you'll naturally cluster toward favorites and discard the rest faster than deciding name by name.
