How to use the game name generator
Pick the genre and tone. A cozy game and a horror game need very different names.
Add keywords from your game: a mechanic, a creature, a place.
Generate and shortlist the titles that sound good said out loud.
Check availability on game stores and domains before you announce.

What makes a strong game name
Short and searchable. One to three words is easiest to remember and type into a store search.
Unique enough to find. A common word like “Rise” disappears in search results; “Riseward” does not.
Fits the tone. Players judge a game by its title before the screenshots load.
Works as a logo. Check how it looks in a single line on a small capsule image.
Free to use. Search store listings, domain names and trademark databases before you commit. This is not legal advice; ask a professional for a commercial launch.
Anime game name generator (JRPG style)
Pick “Anime / JRPG” for titles in the style of Japanese role-playing games: a grand main title plus a subtitle, or a Japanese word with an English tagline. Examples: Akatsuki Chronicle: Dawn of the Seventh Bell, Hoshikage — The Star Shadow War, Lantern Knights: Re:Tale. For character names inside your game, use the anime name generator.
Studio and team names
The Studio tab creates names for your indie team: two words that are easy to say and work as a small logo, like Paper Lantern Games, Tiny Comet Studio or Moth & Ember. Need names for factions, clans or guilds inside the game? Try the anime clan name generator.
