How the Random NPC Name Generator works
Names are grouped by fantasy race style, using naming conventions loosely inspired by common tabletop fantasy traditions (softer, flowing names for elves; harder consonant clusters for dwarves; familiar real-world-adjacent names for humans) — not tied to any specific licensed setting, so they're safe to use in any homebrew world.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I use these names in my own published content?
Yes, all names are generated from original word combinations, not copied from any specific licensed property.
Will a name repeat if I generate multiple times?
Within a single batch, no — names are drawn without repeats; running the generator again may pull overlapping names from the same pool.
