Name Generator Pro

The name will define the character — which means that you need to make sure that your rationale is solid! To this end, it may be valuable to know the etymology behind it. Name Generator Pro provides the root meaning behind each first name to make this easy for you.

Most of our categories are divided into a male name generator and female name generator. However, if you prefer not to be confined by these constraints, feel free to select “Random” to generate even more combinations of names.

Don’t forget the usefulness of nicknames as you’re picking a name from this name generator. Keep in mind alternative shorter names that might ring true to your character. Pip from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, for instance, is really Philip Pirrip.

Test the character name on yourself. Look at it on the page. Then try to sound it out loud just to see if it rolls off your tongue. If you can clearly picture your character in both cases, then you just might have a winner on your hands.
