Pick a name type
Random name generator for full names
Choose Full name to get a random first and last name, like "Hazel Brooks" or "Miles Carter". The names come from popular American first names and common US surnames, so they sound real. Pick a gender or a first letter to narrow it down.
Last name generator
Need only a surname? The last name generator picks from about 100 common last names in the United States, such as Smith, Garcia, Nguyen and Patel. It is handy for character names, family trees in stories, or forms you are testing.
Baby name generator
The baby name generator suggests popular boy and girl names. Pick a gender and a first letter, tap More names until one feels right, and copy your favorites to share with your partner. Many names on the list, like Olivia, Liam, Charlotte and Noah, are among the most popular US baby names of recent years.
Japanese name generator
The Japanese name generator makes names in romaji with kanji, written the Japanese way with the family name first, for example 田中 陽翔 (Tanaka Haruto). Kanji for a name can vary, and the same sound can be written with different characters, so check with a native speaker before using one for something important like a tattoo.
Warrior cats name generator
Fans of the Warriors books build cat names from two parts: a prefix like Fire, Storm or Ivy and a suffix that depends on rank. The warrior cats name generator follows that pattern: kits end in -kit, apprentices in -paw, warriors get a suffix like -pelt or -heart, and leaders end in -star. It is a fan tool and is not connected to the official books.
