Alien Names Generator

Looking for a lighthouse to lead your species on a starry course? Here is a generator that will give you 10 alien names for a click, to use for your next character, story or game. Aliens’ names are hilarious.

There’s no real-world language to adhere to, so you can create a sound from scratch. That freedom is also a prison! A name that’s too bizarre is “keyboard mash” and a name that’s too common, is the same as a neighbor’s name.

That’s where good alien names live. They are the sound of things on Earth, but they somehow sound like a name. The generator relies on three flavours to help bring the balance.

The first batch is hard and guttural, with a lot of “rocks grinding” sharp consonants. Consider the names that you would give a warrior race that has too many teeth.

The second set is soft and melodic, designed for the graceful and glowing, big-eyed, nonverbal types. The final batch gets rid of the rulebook.

These names mix and match the styles, or they’re all unique or invented altogether, and some may sound awkward at first. That’s the point. It shouldn’t be easy to say everything.
