What is the best fantasy name generator?
Use the generator that matches your need: the fantasy name generator for any race, or a dedicated elf, dwarf, orc, dragon or D&D generator for more control.
Can I use generated fantasy names in my book or game?
Yes. Names come from original syllable rules, so they are free to use in novels, campaigns and games.
