How it works

Three steps to a name

1
Pick a generator
Search or open a category. Each generator covers one kind of name, so a dwarf list sounds like dwarves and a bakery list sounds like bakeries.
2
Generate
Get 5, 10 or 20 names at once and click again for a fresh batch. Filters narrow the list where a generator has them.
3
Copy or save
Click a name to copy it or tap the heart to keep it. Saved names stay in your browser, across every generator.

About Genly

Free name generators, wheels and random tools in one place

Genly is a free online name generator service with a library of focused generators. Instead of one random word machine, every page is built around a single subject: elf names lean on soft, flowing sounds, a tavern list sounds like something painted on a sign above a door, and a username list stays short enough to type. Use the names for tabletop campaigns, novels, games, pets, shops, teams and side projects.

Each generator draws from a stored list of names, and most pages explain how that kind of name works and how to pick one. Pull a fresh batch with one click, copy a name you like and save your favourites in the browser.

Next to the generators you will find name tools that blend two names, find nicknames and anagrams or match twin names, plus a set of random tools: a spin the wheel picker, a yes or no wheel, a coin flip, a dice roller, a random number generator, a random name picker and a team maker. They decide who goes first, what to eat tonight and who wins the prize.

Everything is free, needs no sign-up and works on your phone or computer. What you type stays in your browser.
