How to Use the DnD Name Generator
🎯 Start with Traits
Input key details such as race, class, personality, and background. The more descriptive your input, the more personalized the suggestions will become.
Consider these starting points:
- Race and subrace (Elf, Dwarf, Human, Tiefling, Dragonborn)
- Class and role (wizard, rogue, fighter, bard)
- Personality traits (brave, cunning, noble, mysterious)
🔀 Experiment with Combinations
Mix and match elements of names to create something uniquely yours. Add titles or nicknames for depth—Alaric becomes Alaric the Bold or Alaric Dragonsbane.
📚 Consider Your Setting
Epic fantasy calls for grandiose names like Thalion Starweaver, while gritty, realistic adventures might favor simpler names like Rey or Cass.
DnD Naming Conventions and Tips
There are naming patterns that enhance fantasy characters: Here are some common patterns that we think work well:
- [Adjective] + [Nature-inspired term]: Stormsong
- [Prefix] + [Heroic element]: Ironfist
- [Name] + [Title/Epithet]: Kaelar the Bold
While these conventions help create memorable names, sometimes simplicity wins. Consider iconic names like Aragorn or Frodo — they are quite simple, yet they roll of the tongue.
