Are these names from any published franchise?

No. The names are original, built from short word lists designed to sound like sci-fi ship 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 ship classes?

Each class uses its own word set: warship names lean blunt and aggressive, explorer names lean aspirational and open, freighter names lean plain and workmanlike, and scout names lean short and fast-sounding. Pick the one that fits your vessel.

What does the registry code option add?

When enabled, the generator appends a hull registry code after the name, like "NCX-4471", for a more official fleet-catalog feel.

Can I generate more than one name at a time?

Yes. Use the count selector to generate up to 12 names in one click, then copy any single name or the whole batch.

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.
