Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create consistent naming for my world?
Use the seed feature! Enter a theme word like "frost" or "dragon" to generate names with consistent style. The same seed always produces the same results.
Can I use these names commercially?
Yes! Generated names are original combinations and free to use in your novels, games, or other creative projects.
How do I avoid cliché fantasy names?
Mix styles! Combine a Nordic prefix with an Asian suffix, or use unexpected seed words. Avoid overused terms like "shadow" or "dragon."
What makes a good fantasy city name?
Memorable, pronounceable, and evocative. It should hint at the city's character - a trading hub sounds different from a military fortress.
💡 Pro Tip
Create a naming convention for your world: Human cities end in "-ton" or "-burg", Elven cities in "-ael" or "-ith", Dwarven cities in "-heim" or "-hold". This creates instant cultural identity!
