Character Name Generators

Epithets, assassin names and vampire names for characters in stories and games.

Sometimes the name is the easy part and it's the reputation that's missing. The Epithet Generator adds one to any character (the Bold, Dragonslayer, of the North), including real epithets from history like the Unready and Bloodaxe.

For particular kinds of character, the Assassin Name Generator gives you compound names and single-word aliases, and the Vampire Name Generator gives you full names.
