Names
Sci-Fi Corporation Name Generator
Each corporation name is built by picking one of six industry pools — weapons, biotech, AI, energy, mining, or cybernetics — and then applying one of three assembly patterns: root plus middle plus suffix (TitanTactical Corp), hyphenated double-root plus suffix (Axiom-Sigma AI), or root space middle space suffix (Photon Pulse Industries). The roots, middles, and suffixes in each pool are curated for that industry's register: the weapons pool uses classical names like Ares and Vulcan alongside Combat and Dynamics; the biotech pool pairs Helix and Genome with Nano and Sciences. When the industry is set to "any," the generator picks an industry at random for each result, so a single batch can represent an entire economic landscape. Game masters running cyberpunk or space opera campaigns use this to populate corporate directories and city maps without stalling mid-session prep. Writers building dystopian near-futures use it to name the background entities — the energy conglomerate on a billboard, the weapons supplier on a shipping crate — that make a world feel inhabited rather than sketched. Indie game developers and tabletop designers use it to generate faction names that carry plausible institutional weight without sounding generic. The three assembly patterns ensure that a batch mixes structural variety: some names read as acronym-ready compound brands, others as old-money conglomerates, others as hyphenated mergers. That structural mix is intentional — real corporate ecosystems contain all three types, and a generated list that only produces one pattern looks artificial.

Detailed instructions
- Select an industry from the dropdown to focus results, or leave it on 'any' for a mixed corporate landscape.
- Set the count field to how many names you want — use 10 or more when you need options to compare.
- Click Generate and review the list of corporation names that appears below.
- Copy individual names you want to keep, or regenerate the full list until you find the right fit.
- Combine or modify strong results — swap suffixes or blend two names — to make your final choices feel unique.
Use Cases
- •Populating a Cyberpunk RED or Shadowrun campaign with six rival megacorps across different industries
- •Filling a sector map in a space-trading game with competing energy and mining conglomerates
- •Naming dystopian corporate factions in a Twine or Ink narrative game during an early design sprint
- •Generating a biotech or AI company roster for a cyberpunk novel's world-bible before drafting chapter one
- •Creating fictional corporate branding assets in Figma for a concept-art portfolio or sci-fi short film
Tips
- →Use the energy and mining filters together across two separate generations to build a natural resource rivalry between two factions.
- →Names with three or more syllables read as older, more established corporations; shorter names feel newer and more aggressive.
- →Generate biotech names specifically when you need a corporation that readers will instinctively distrust — the terminology carries that connotation.
- →Avoid picking the very first name on any list; scroll to the middle or end where less immediately obvious combinations appear.
- →Pair a generated corp name with a short invented tagline (e.g., 'Progress without compromise') to make it feel like a real faction instantly.
- →For AI-focused settings, strip the suffix from a generated AI-industry name entirely — a single cold word like 'Nexivorn' often reads more ominous than 'Nexivorn Systems.'
FAQ
How does the industry filter affect the names produced?
Each industry uses a distinct pool of roots, middles, and suffixes. Selecting "weapons" draws from classical war-deity names like Ares, Vulcan, and Kratos paired with terms like Tactical and Defense. Selecting "biotech" uses scientific-sounding roots like Helix, Genome, and Synapse paired with Labs and Sciences. The pools do not share vocabulary, so switching industries reliably shifts the tone and implied sector of the output.
What are the three name patterns the generator uses?
The generator picks one of three assembly forms for each result: a compound run-together (root plus middle plus suffix, like HelixBioResearch), a hyphenated double-root (root-root plus suffix, like Axiom-Sigma AI), or a spaced three-part name (root space middle space suffix, like Photon Pulse Industries). Mixing all three in a batch gives structural variety that mirrors how real corporate naming conventions differ across eras and contexts.
Can I use these names in a published game or novel?
Procedurally assembled names from word pools do not carry copyright, so you can use them in commercial tabletop games, video games, novels, and screenplays without attribution. For high-profile releases, running a quick trademark search on any name you intend to keep is sensible practice, since some root words like Apex or Omni appear in real company names.
What distinguishes a megacorp name from a smaller company name?
Megacorps in science fiction are sovereign-scale entities that replace governments, so their names benefit from broad, abstract roots and suffixes that imply continental reach — Industries, International, Consortium, Collective. Smaller vendors work better with narrower, niche-specific names. The generator's pools lean toward institutional scale, but you can strip the grand suffix or replace it with something more specific if you need a minor supplier rather than a dominant faction.
Why does the "any" industry setting sometimes produce inconsistent-sounding batches?
When industry is set to "any," each name in the batch independently picks a random industry before assembling. A batch of six could draw from three or four different industry pools, producing names that range from cold-clinical biotech to heavy-industrial mining in the same list. This is intentional for worldbuilding use cases where you want a diverse corporate landscape, but if you need a cohesive single-sector output, set the industry filter to a specific value.
