A random name generator gives you names at the press of a button. It helps when you need a baby name, a character for a story or game, a name for a pet, or sample data for a project.
Most generators give you a bare list. Every name here is hand-picked, with its meaning, gender, origin and style, and many include native script and a pronunciation button. That means you can judge a name by more than its sound.
Looking for a random boy name, a random girl name or something gender neutral? Each link below sets the generator for you. Add a first letter or a style in the filters to narrow the list.
Set Name format to First and last name for a random full name, or add a middle name as well. Surnames match the chosen origin, so a Japanese first name comes with a Japanese family name, written in the right order.
Generated full names are combinations, so they are ideal for characters, examples and test data. A combination may still match a real person by chance, so don't present one as a real person.
Few generators cover Muslim names well. Here you can generate Arabic and Urdu names with their meanings, for boys and girls, shown in their native script. Persian and Turkish names have their own lists. As with any name, please check its meaning and suitability with your family or a scholar before you choose it for a child.
Need a name that fits a particular place? Choose an origin to get names from that culture.
Choosing a baby name is a big decision, and a random generator can show you names you would never have found in an alphabetical list. Here is a simple way to do it together:
Writers and gamers can use the generator to find a believable name in seconds. Choose a culture that fits your setting, and let the meaning add depth: a warrior called "lion" or a healer called "light". The generator focuses on real names, so it suits realistic fiction and modern settings. It does not create invented fantasy names for elves, dwarves and other races.
Jump straight to names for your kind of pet, then choose a theme such as cute, strong, funny or royal.
Choose who the name is for, a gender, an origin and any extra filters, then press Generate names. The tool picks names at random from a hand-checked list using your browser's secure random generator, and avoids showing the same names again in one visit.
