Fun Character Name Generator

A free generator that builds a tabletop RPG character from a few choices. Pick a setting and a role, add an occupation or a couple of playful keywords, and it writes you a name and a concept to go with it.

It handles Western names (with an optional middle name) and Japanese names, across the present day, the 1920s, Taisho-era Japan, and fantasy settings. Marking a character as an investigator, an NPC or an antagonist steers the result, and any occupation or keywords you supply are worked into the concept.

Every roll gives you six things: a name, its pronunciation, gender, occupation, a one-line concept, and a catchphrase. Useful for prepping a Call of Cthulhu session, filling out a cast, or inventing an NPC on the spot when your players wander somewhere you did not plan for.
