Baldur's Gate 3 Name Generator
The Baldur's Gate 3 name generator invents character names in the style of the Forgotten Realms and D&D. You pick race and gender, the tool draws fitting first and family names from a large pool and shows them instantly.
Which races are included?
- The generator offers eight races: human, elf, half-elf, dwarf, halfling, gnome, half-orc and tiefling.
- Each race follows the Forgotten Realms conventions: flowing for elves, hard consonants for dwarves, infernal-inspired for tieflings including virtue names.
- Family names match the clans, houses or families of each race.
How does the generator work?
In Lore mode, the invented names follow the sound of the Forgotten Realms naming conventions. Companions and famous Baldur's Gate 3 characters never appear, so your character gets a real original name. The random pick runs entirely in your browser.
What you can use it for
- New characters for Baldur's Gate 3 and other D&D campaigns.
- Pen-and-paper rounds as a quick name source for the game master.
- Novel characters and NPCs for your own Forgotten Realms style adventures.
Frequently asked questions
Are these real names from the game?
No, the Lore names are invented in the style of the Forgotten Realms. Companions and famous NPCs are deliberately left out, so you get an original name.
Can I generate first names only?
Yes, the option Always include surname controls whether the tool adds a family name. Without the tick, names without a surname appear too.
How many names can I generate at once?
By default, you get one name per click. For a list, use the count selector to generate up to 50 names at once.
Is anything stored?
No, the generator runs entirely in your browser. There is no upload and no storage of your selection.
