Why use these generators?
Built, not shuffledEach culture has its own sound system: which consonants start a syllable, which vowels it likes, how heavy the endings are. Names come out pronounceable and consistent.
Meanings includedEndings and roots carry glosses, so Silvar reads as silver-wind and -iel as daughter. You get the name and its story together.
Made for the tableTwelve names at a time, keep the ones you like, reroll the rest, save a shortlist, copy a link that reproduces the list.
