How this OC Name Generator works

This character naming tool generates original character (OC) names across six distinctive styles: Anime (Japanese-inspired names with honorifics), Fantasy (medieval and mythological names), Modern (contemporary realistic names), Sci-Fi (futuristic and space-themed names), Gothic (dark and mysterious names), and Cute (soft and adorable names). The database contains over 500 unique names carefully curated to match each style's aesthetic conventions.

Names are organized by gender—Male, Female, and Gender-Neutral categories—with each style maintaining 25+ names per gender category for extensive variety. Anime names include options like Haruki and Sakura, Fantasy offers names like Aldric and Seraphina, Modern includes realistic options like James and Emma, Sci-Fi features futuristic names like Zyx and Nova, Gothic presents dark names like Mortimer and Ravenna, and Cute provides soft names like Bubbles and Honey.

The generator produces 12 unique names per batch with one-click copying and inline editing capabilities. Users can filter by both style and gender to find the perfect name for their original character creations. Ideal for artists developing OC personas, fan fiction writers creating characters, role-playing game enthusiasts, and social media users building unique online identities.
