# Fantasy Name Generator > A free browser-based name generator for tabletop roleplaying, fiction writing > and game development. Base names combine two fragments with assigned creative > glosses. Inspiration and gender are tool labels, not verified linguistic claims. ## How the generator works The character pool contains 272 openers and 255 endings across 21 cultural inspiration sets plus Other. With no inspiration selected, universal openers combine with all character endings, producing 5,032 distinct base spellings. Selecting an inspiration restricts the fragments to that dataset where it has its own openers. Other uses universal openers. Race, place and science-fiction modes have separate sets; titles and surnames can be added to a base name. The spelling rule collapses a repeated consonant at the join. It does not model real-language grammar. Each result exposes the source fragments under “How this name is built”. Pronunciation hints are approximate English reading aids. ## Limits Names are creative suggestions. A spelling can already exist and may have a different real-world meaning. Neither a fragment's assigned gloss nor the joined word is a verified translation. Cultural labels do not describe every language or tradition within a region. Results are not official names from a game setting. ## Reference - [Fantasy Name Meanings](https://www.fantasyname.site/fantasy-name-meanings): all base character openers and endings, including Other, with assigned glosses and filter labels.
