Finding the perfect name for your characters can make a huge difference to your story. Our random name generator has over 10, 000 name combinations from a range of nationalities.
The secret to a good character name is knowing their backstory. More specifically you want to know where your character was born, who their parents are and even where they live now. These factors will all influence the name you choose to give your characters. For example, a female Russian spy character could be named Natalya Mikhailov. Both the first name and surname are popular Russian names. Alternatively, a character who lives in England and whose great-grandparents were born in India might have a mixed name like Freddie Goswami.
Character origins are important when it comes to names, that’s why we created this random name generator. Our name generator includes a mix of full names for characters from all over the world:

Most new or inexperienced writers rush the character naming process – Brushing it off, as one of the least important tasks in story-telling. But it’s important to know that character names are one of the biggest elements in creating a believable character, alongside personality traits and backstories. A common mistake we see time and time again is people giving their characters names like Tom Smith or Kate Evans. Now, these names are perfectly fine, but (and this is a big BUT) – What is the reason for naming your character this?
If you can’t answer this question or don’t have a reason that links back to your character, then you need to try again. One major naming tip is to write down your character’s back story before naming them. This back story doesn’t need to be lengthy or long – just a couple of notes will do. Once your character’s back story is sorted, naming the character should be a lot easier!

Coming up with realistic and fantastic fantasy character names requires a huge level of creativity. Unlike everyday names like Katie or Jimmy (see our character name generator), fantasy names are highly unusual to spell and say out loud. The everyday name can be changed into a fantasy name with a few tweaks. Take for example the name Kate could be Katrel or even Katrilla. With these few tweaks, an everyday name has been transformed into something from a fantasy novel. The important thing to remember with Fantasy names is that they should match the personality of your character. If you are naming an evil, selfish elf, you could call him Delvin or Dracyian. That sounds a whole lot eviler than a name like Darvyn or Eldar.
