A halfling name generator produces warm, homely names for the cheerful small folk of fantasy and tabletop games.

Tabletop players use it to name a new character in seconds, game masters to populate a shire full of villagers, and fantasy writers to add charm to their small folk. Halfling names lean homely and earthy on purpose — they evoke pantries, gardens, and good company, which sets the gentle tone these characters are known for.
