Tips for fantasy character names
For tabletop RPGs
- Match phonetics to race — elves flow, dwarves are guttural
- Heroic styles suit fighters and paladins
- Dark styles suit rogues and warlocks
- Keep names pronounceable at the table
Naming patterns
- Single names work for minimal characters
- Two-part names suit nobles and heroes
- Theme filters (arcane, nature) shape tone
- Use keyword filters to anchor a concept
Before you use a name
- Search for existing fictional usage
- Names are generated, not lore-verified
- Adapt length for your campaign
- Avoid trademarked character names
