Writers and gamers need names for characters to use in stores and online role-playing games. Thankfully, there are online tools available that will generate characters. These online tools can do more than just randomly offer character names. They can create character names under a variety of different parameters. This article will describe several different fantasy name generators to help in your fiction writing and gaming scenarios.

The Fantasy Name Generator

When writing an epic fantasy novel, there is a lot of work to be done regarding names. So how do you come up with those names, especially all those minor characters? Why not check out the Fantasy Name Generator to get you started? You give the software interface some parameters about the kind of name you want (consonant-heavy, vowel-heavy, really long names, names with apostrophes, names of Greek origin, names of Latin origin etc.) and let it rip. You can also do things like require certain consonant and vowel combinations.

We asked the generator to give us some good fantasy-inspired insults. Twerpclod, Twerpfumble, Footnit and Skullthimbletwit immediately popped up, which will all come in handy the next time we need to insult someone at the local tavern.
