Names and Naming Conventions Helper
Create fitting names without unintended meanings.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Suggest names for characters and places in my story. Setting, time period and culture(s): [SETTING_CULTURE]. Characters with roles and personalities: [CHARACTERS]. Tone: [TONE]. Names I already use: [EXISTING_NAMES]. Provide five options per character with a note on sound, meaning if relevant, and why it fits. Check for similarity of initials and sounds across the cast and flag clashes. Include guidance on authenticity: where the name pattern depends on a real culture, mark it [VERIFY] and recommend checking with sources from that culture or a sensitivity reader instead of guessing. Suggest a naming scheme for places that has internal logic. Avoid names of real public figures or trademarks. Present results in a table I can copy. Add a quick audit method: list all names by first letter and syllable count, flag any that are within one letter of another, and propose alternative names for the clashes. Include a short section on how to handle nicknames and titles consistently and a recommendation for keeping a style sheet that records spellings and pronunciations.
