What should I consider when choosing?

  • For roleplay, follow the particular server’s naming convention. A word-pair alias does not automatically fit a realistic character.
  • Do not use a real person’s private details for a fictional character.
  • A simple, pronounceable crew name is more practical in spontaneous encounters than a long abbreviation.

How do I choose a suitable name?

  1. For roleplay, read the server’s name requirements first.
  2. Choose a player alias or sketch a fictional first and last name for your role.
  3. Check the name in the profile or character field actually being used.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use an alias as a roleplay name?

That depends on the server. Some role concepts need an ordinary fictional personal name; check the requirements before deciding.

How do I keep crew names simple?

Use a short common stem and leave out unnecessary ranks, number strings and symbols.

Does the tool create complete roleplay biographies?

No. It provides name ideas. Develop your character’s background, occupation and story to fit the server yourself.
