How it works

From blank sheet to the right name in three steps

No sign-up, no cost. Everything runs in your browser and your saved names stay on your device.

Step one

Pick a kind

Choose Meadow, River, Wander or Burrow to set the flavour, or leave it on Any for a mix of every village.
Step two

Set the details

Open Options to choose gender, register, how many names you want, name length and whether to include surnames.
Step three

Keep your favourites

Copy any name, save the ones you like, or refine a name into close variations until it feels right.

Kinds

Four kinds of halfling, plus a mix

Each kind is a feel rather than a strict rule, so it slots into any setting. Pick one to match your village, or browse Any.

Meadow

Sunny farm-and-flower names of the green fields, like Poppy Honeybrook or Tobin Applefield.

River

Damp, easygoing names of the riverbank folk, like Wade Willowbank or Pearl Reedmarsh.

Wander

Tinker and road names of the wandering families, like Jasper Patchpocket or Lark Caraway.

Burrow

Snug, homebody names of the hill-holes, like Bunny Warmhearth or Hodge Deepburrow.

Naming tips

Making a halfling feel like a friend

Keep it warm and soft

Halfling names sound friendly and a little playful. A gentle first name plus a homely surname does most of the work.

Use register for the surname

Set Register to Homestead for a place-name like Honeybrook, Family for a big clan such as of the Goodbarrels, or Old for an heirloom form.

Refine, don't restart

Found a first name you love but the wrong surname? Choose it, hit Refine, lock the first name and shuffle the rest.
