Are these names from any published fiction?

No. The names are original, built from short syllable lists designed to sound draconic, 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 element types?

Each element uses its own syllable set: fire names lean harsh and guttural, ice names lean sharp and cold-toned, storm names lean sweeping and aerial, and shadow names lean dark and hushed. Pick the one that fits your dragon.

What does the epithet option add?

When enabled, the generator appends a title after the name, like "the Ashbringer" or "of the Frozen Peaks", for a more legendary feel.

Can I generate more than one name at a time?

Click Generate Another as many times as you like. Every name you generate this session is saved in the Recent Names list below so you can compare and copy any of them.

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.
