How the engine works

Original by construction. Useful by design.

01 · THEME

Choose the sound world

Each theme uses its own syllables, descriptors, titles, locations and object vocabulary.

02 · ARCHETYPE

Narrow the stereotype

Space soldiers sound different from alien swarms; crypt warriors differ from vampire houses.

03 · OUTPUT

Match the grammar

A character needs a personal identity. A fleet, army, vehicle and world require different naming patterns.

04 · TUNE

Control tone and length

Keep results clean or add titles, affiliation, codes and one-line lore when a fuller identity is useful.

Questions before the next roll

Miniature name generator FAQ

The generator is intentionally independent and generic. It is designed for original homebrew use across miniature wargames, skirmish games, roleplaying games and board-game campaigns without reproducing an official publisher’s faction list or character database.

Generated results are creative prompts. Save the ones you like, combine words across several rolls and change anything that does not fit your models.

From identity to display

Named it. Now give it a stage.
