Random Generators (Resources)

''If there's a generator you want me to make, let me know. I love making these.''

Random Planet Generator: The first generator I made that returns a string of random characters. It's set up with several character patterns that follow the basic rules for forming recognizable words that align with the English language. It includes the ' character and the vowel/consonant pattern was put together artistically, so it's prone to some stranger output. Ignore the planet code. I have some other patterns commented out, but they were making strange output, so if you want those, contact me.

Extended Planet Generator: Uses the same rules as the Random Planet Generator to generate names, but it includes some other stuff like star count, planet count, ring type, etc. It's not entirely realistic, and I was working on correcting that when I stopped.

Species Name Generator: The second generator that returns a string of random characters. This one is more closely formed to follow actual word patterns. (consonant/vowel/consonant/vowel pattern. It's a bit more complex than that but that's the gist of it) Diphthongs and consonant combinations are from Latin, and I applied Latin letter frequency rules to rarer characters to make the output more realistic. I tried to apply it to all of them, but the output was weird. I used Latin as a base because a lot of species names are from Latin, but it doesn't look like Latin.

Futuristic Name Generator: It's cheesy. Some of the names are kind of funky right now because I merged the first name and last name list because there was a ton of overlap, so I'm cleaning up both lists now to make sure that it sounds less weird.

For random name generators that draw from actual name databases:

I like Behind The Name. It draws from its own database which is partially user submission, so it can be kind of small on non-European names sometimes.

This one draws from the US census.

Fantasy Name Generators has a ton of different generators. Most of these aren't personally my style but take a look!

Springhole has a ton of generators! You should check these out too if you want.
