Fantasy Names You Can Generate

You can use the different categories to create individual characters or start building an entire fantasy world.

Try Character, Wizard, or Elf for fantasy character names. Dragon and Creature work for monsters, magical animals, companions, and enemies, while Kingdom can give you ideas for fictional lands and realms.

You can also generate tavern names, magical items, and quest or adventure titles. Mixing the categories together is an easy way to create the beginnings of a story, game, or D&D campaign.

Some recent favorites from the generator include Braxismaw for a dragon, The Merry Goblet for a tavern, and The Curse of the Forgotten King for a fantasy quest.

Ways to Use the Fantasy Names

We’ve used the generator for everything from Minecraft worlds and D&D characters to ridiculous tavern names during writing lessons.

The included story prompts are particularly useful when you need more than a name. A dragon called Braxismaw can quickly become the starting point for a story about a lost kingdom, magical object, or dangerous quest.

You can use the generated names to:

• name characters in fantasy stories
• create dragons and magical creatures
• invent kingdoms and fictional worlds
• name D&D or RPG characters and locations
• create taverns, magical objects, and quests
• find ideas for Minecraft builds or game characters
• start creative writing or drawing activities
