UNDER THE HOOD

Names are assembled from style-specific onset, middle, and ending libraries, shuffled reproducibly, and deduplicated. Landscape and mood control separate epithets and worldbuilding prompts. No real-language translation or availability lookup is used. This is a deterministic, browser-local guided generator, not a language model. Identical inputs and variation number reproduce the same draft. No model inference, fact checking, originality clearance, or performance prediction is performed. Review and edit before use.

01

Decide what the name has to do

A whole world, a city, and a small island need different supporting context. Choose the scale first, then consider who gave the place its name: residents, conquerors, traders, or an outsider. The generator…

02

Reuse sounds to imply a shared history

Related places can share endings, consonants, or a naming rhythm. Pick one sound family and apply it consistently before inventing exceptions. Lyrical favors flowing syllables, Rugged favors heavier clusters,…

03

Keep names usable aloud and on a map

Read each candidate aloud in a sentence. Compare it with the names of important characters and neighboring places. If several look too similar at a glance, change their length or first letter. The dotted…

GOOD TO KNOW

A few useful answers.

Do the names have real translations?

No. The names are constructed from a finite sound palette. Descriptive epithets such as “The Hidden Tides” are separate fictional labels, not etymologies.

Can I use my own root sound?

Yes. Supply 2–12 letters. It replaces the starting sound in generated names, or prefixes the compound in the Plainspoken palette, creating a more consistent family.

Are the names unique?

They are deduplicated within one result set. They may already exist elsewhere, so search shortlisted names before using them publicly.

Why does the same variation repeat?

The generator is deterministic. Identical inputs reproduce the same palette, making it easier to recover a previous result.
