Music Name Generators

Names for music projects, albums and gigs, from a site that began with music.

This site started because its maker, a musician, kept needing names: for projects, albums, songs and nights out. The music generators are where that began.

The Dungeon Synth Name Generator names atmospheric fantasy projects and albums, and the Event Name Generator has a whole section for gigs, club nights and open mics.

Looking for a name in one style? Music Genre Name Generators has a page for each of 35 genres, from black metal and K-pop to bluegrass and film scores.

Named your project and ready to put something out? Richard Pryn, who makes this site, has written a free guide to releasing your own music: getting it onto Spotify, into playlists, and reading the numbers once it's out.
