Summary

This generator builds galaxy and star-system names from prefix and suffix word banks tied to four naming styles: classical, alien, cosmic, and mythic. Pick a style and a count, then generate a batch of names at once, with an optional catalog-style designation appended for a more scientific feel.

How it works

  1. Choose a naming style: Classical, Alien, Cosmic, Mythic, or Any.
  2. Toggle "Include catalog designation" on or off.
  3. Pick how many names to generate at once (1 to 12).
  4. Click Generate to build a list of random galaxy names from the matching word bank.
  5. Click any name to copy it, or use Copy All to copy the whole list.
