Name Generator

Gamer tags, band names, pet names and more. Roll till one sticks.

About Name Generator

Six kinds of original, family-friendly names, from gamer tags to robot names. Lock the word you like and roll the other, save up to 30 favourites, and copy any name in one tap.

A gamer tag generator, band name generator and pet name generator in one, plus robots, teams and arcade heroes. Every name joins two parts from word lists written for RetroWorld, so you get a robot called Sprocket QX-7 rather than someone else's name.

Each roll is checked against a blocklist, so no rude word sneaks in where two words meet.

Ways to use it

  • Find a fresh gamer tag before setting up a new online account or console profile.
  • Name a new puppy or kitten by rolling pet names until the whole family agrees.
  • Give your trivia team or social netball side a better name than Team Two.
  • Invent a band name for a school music project, a short story or a garage jam.

Questions

Are the names original?

They're built from our own word lists, with no brands or famous characters on purpose. With hundreds of words mixing freely, a combination could still match something by chance, so check before using one commercially.

How does locking a word work?

Tap Lock under the word you want to keep. Another then rerolls only the other word, so you can hold on to a great first half and hunt for a better second.
