How to pick the right name

Pun on what you do most

Rolling, parrying or falling off ledges: a name about your real habits always lands with summons and invaders.

Keep it short

Short names show cleanly on summon signs and multiplayer messages. Every name on this page is 16 characters or fewer.

Match the tone to the run

Save the jokes for co-op and challenge runs. For a serious lore playthrough, pick from the character names section instead.

Pair it with your build

A name that matches your weapon or spell school, like Rock Sling Pro for a sorcerer, makes your character feel complete.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny Elden Ring names?

Fan favorites include Flask Half Full, Maidenless Pride, Erdtree Hugger, Parry Potter and Rolling in Runes. Puns on runes, grace and the game's memes land best with other players.

What does maidenless mean in Elden Ring?

It comes from an early character who mocks the player for having no maiden, the guide who helps a Tarnished on their journey. Players turned the taunt into a running joke, which makes it perfect name material.

Where do other players see your Elden Ring name?

Your character name appears in online play: on your summon sign, when you join someone's world and when an invader enters yours. Offline, only you will see it.

What are good Elden Ring character names?

For a serious character, try a first name and surname in the game's style, such as Corvin Ashvale, Seren the Unlit or Branwen Starfell. Short, old-world names suit the game's tone.

What are good names for an Elden Ring mage?

Try Int Main Intern, Rock Sling Pro, Carian Homework or Moon Struck for a funny sorcerer, or Merrit Glintborn for a serious one. Names about moons, stars and glintstone suit sorcery builds.
