Are these names from any published fiction?

No. The names are original, built from short syllable lists designed to sound like castle names, not pulled from any book, game, or franchise. They are safe to use in your own game or story.

What is the difference between the themes?

Each theme uses its own syllable set: grand names lean royal and bright, gothic names lean dark and foreboding, coastal names lean windswept and maritime, mountain names lean rugged and stony, and ruined names lean broken and forgotten. Pick the one that fits your setting.

What does the epithet option add?

When enabled, the generator appends a short phrase after the name, like "of the Golden Vale" or "the Cursed", for a more legendary feel.

How does batch generation work?

Pick a batch size, 5, 10, or 20, then click Generate Batch to fill the list with that many names at once. Click any name to copy just that one, or use Copy All to copy the whole list.

Does this tool store or send my generated names anywhere?

No. Every name is generated in your browser with no network request, and nothing is saved once you leave the page.
