-
Step three
Keep your favourites
Copy any name, save the ones you like, or refine a name into close variations until it feels right.
Courts
Five courts, plus a mix
Each court shapes both the sound of the name and the epithet it tends to earn. Pick one to match your fairy, or browse Any.
Unseelie
Cold, thorned winter-court names of dusk and frost, like Morwyn the Unkind or Thalaire Sloethorn.
Pixie
Tiny, giggling, mischievous names of dust and trickery, like Bramblepip Thistledew or Tizzkin the Quick.
Sprite
Light, watery nature names of dew and leaf, like Liriel Brookwhisper or Taelys Pondbloom.
Wyldfae
Old, wild, untamed names of the deep green, like Thornoak the Unseen or Mossen the Everwild.
Naming tips
Making a fairy sound truly fey
Let the court lead
The court shapes the sound, so a Seelie name lilts brightly while an Unseelie name turns cold and thorny. Match it to your fairy's nature and home.
Use temperament for the epithet
Set Temperament to Courtly for graceful titles like the Radiant, Wild for old ones like the Unseen, or Trickster and Nature for compound names like Thistledew.
Refine, don't restart
Found a name you love but the wrong title? Choose it, hit Refine, lock the name and shuffle the title instead.

Fairy name generator FAQ
Yes. You can generate unlimited fairy names for free, with no sign-up. Copy or save any you like and use them however you want.
Absolutely. The names suit fairies, pixies, sprites, sylphs and other fey in D&D 5e, Pathfinder and most fantasy RPGs. Pick a court, generate, and drop your favourite onto the stat block.
Each court shapes the sound and the epithet. Seelie leans bright and sunlit, Unseelie cold and thorned, Pixie tiny and mischievous, Sprite watery and green, and Wyldfae old and untamed. Leave it on Any for a mix, or pick one to match your fairy.
Temperament leans the epithet. Courtly favours graceful titles like the Radiant, Wild favours old titles like the Unseen, and Trickster and Nature favour compound names like Thistledew or Mossbloom. Leave it on Any for a spread.
Yes. Turn off Include epithet in Options for the bare invented name, or use Refine on a chosen name to swap just the epithet while keeping the name.
The given name is built from sound pieces chosen for each court, then checked so it stays pronounceable and free of awkward clusters or repeats. That means you can generate endless original names rather than picking from a fixed list.
Yes, for stories, comics, video games, streams and other creative projects. Generated names are not trademarked here, but for a major commercial title it is sensible to do a quick search to make sure your chosen name is not already strongly associated with something else.
No. Each batch is checked against the names you have already seen this visit, so you can generate again and again without repeats. Use Previous to step back to an earlier batch.
