Frequently asked questions

Does this follow official D&D naming rules exactly?

No — it doesn't copy any official rulebook name list. It generates new names loosely inspired by the typical sound (syllable patterns) of each race.

Do names include a surname?

Yes — each generated name includes a surname or epithet appropriate to the race.

Are other fantasy races supported?

Only the 5 core races for now (Human, Elf, Dwarf, Orc, Halfling). More may be added later.
