What should I consider when choosing?

  • Read your roleplay server naming requirements before creating a character.
  • Occupations can inspire a backstory without having to appear permanently in the name.
  • Suggestions are not reserved. Check accepted characters and availability in the name field of the relevant game or account.

How do I choose a suitable name?

  1. Read your roleplay server naming requirements before creating a character.
  2. Shortlist two favourites from the three example groups and generate variants with a word of your own that contains no private information.
  3. Say your shortlist aloud and check the preferred spelling in the appropriate name field before confirming a change.

Frequently asked questions

Will these handles fit every roleplay server?

No. Some communities expect believable first and last names. These are creative starting points; the server rules decide.

How can I give a survivor name more character?

Imagine a small backstory: a former job, a favourite place or a habit. Use fictional details rather than your own private information.
