About Genly

Genly is a library of free name generators. Each generator covers one kind of name, such as dragons, bakeries, dog names or usernames, so the results stay on topic instead of mixing random words.

How the lists are made

Every generator draws from a stored list of names that you can read in full at the bottom of its page. The lists combine names collected from public sources with new names written in the same style, then checked for duplicates and filler. Real-world name pages use official name statistics and open data where we have them.

The short guides on each page (what these names are like, how to pick one, common questions) are drafted with the help of AI and edited by us. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we will fix it.

Using the names

The names are free to use in games, stories, campaigns, pets and projects, with no credit needed. Before you use a name for a business or product, check that nobody already owns it as a trademark or domain.

Genly currently has 97 generators and grows in batches.
