Names by race
Each race — elf, dwarf, human, orc, halfling, tiefling — has its own sound. Dwarves get sturdy, consonant-heavy names; elves get flowing, vowel-rich ones; orcs get harsh, guttural names, and so on. Choose “Any” to mix them all for a whole party.
Free for your campaign
Every name is an original combination, free to use in D&D, Pathfinder, or any RPG. Need pure fantasy names? Character Name Generator and Elf Name Generator help too.
