🥪 Naming Characters/Places - Tools and Websites 🥪

Quick Name Generator

I use this to find a name for my characters. It’s quick, and it grabs names from every culture (so far as I can tell). I’ll usually set the number of generated names to 100, and within a few cycles, I’ll almost always have a handful of good candidates catch my eye.

If you’re looking for some more specific parameters to set when finding a name, you can use this generator from the same site: [Character Name Generator Link]

Behind the Name

A website with a handful of useful features, including a name generator and lists of names by culture/country. There are also lists of name popularity by year, but only for those countries with the data available. Each name lists some information on its etymology and history.

If you’re looking for a name with specific parameters, you’ll most likely find what you’re looking for with this. There are also big alphabetical lists of names if you’d rather peruse them that way.

I have also compiled the above resources into a single Google document, if you would prefer to browse through the lists that way. The link can be found here: Sandwich's Writing Resources Compilation Link
