Anime and Fandom Names

These pages are unofficial. We write original names in the style of each world and never copy art or logos. All trademarks belong to their owners.

Guides for this topic are being written now. Use the name tools above in the meantime.

How to choose a good name

  • Learn the world’s naming style first. Middle-earth elves and Saiyans sound nothing alike.
  • For an original character, avoid using a main character’s exact name.
  • Japanese-style anime names have a given name and a family name; our guides explain the order.
  • For usernames, add a twist so your fan name is still unique.
