How the engine works
Original by construction. Useful by design.
Choose the sound world
Each theme uses its own syllables, descriptors, titles, locations and object vocabulary.
Narrow the stereotype
Space soldiers sound different from alien swarms; crypt warriors differ from vampire houses.
Match the grammar
A character needs a personal identity. A fleet, army, vehicle and world require different naming patterns.
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.
