Frequently Asked Questions
How are fantasy names generated?
Fantasy names are created using syllable patterns inspired by different genres. Tolkien-style uses elven-inspired prefixes and suffixes, Sci-Fi uses futuristic sounds, Medieval uses Old English elements, and Mythological draws from Greek and Roman naming conventions.
Are the generated names unique?
Names are randomly generated each time, so most will be unique. However, with limited name pools for real names, duplicates are possible. Fantasy names have virtually unlimited combinations for more uniqueness.
Where are my favorites saved?
Favorites are saved in your browser's local storage. They persist between visits but only on the same device and browser. They are never uploaded to any server.
Can I use these names commercially?
Yes! All generated names are free to use for any purpose including commercial projects, books, games, or business ventures. No attribution required.
