How it works

From blank map 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 Alpine, Volcanic, Coastal, Desert or Frozen to set the flavour, or leave it on Any for a mix of every kind.
Step two

Set the details

Open Options to choose gender, landform, how many names you want, name length and whether to include a title.
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

Five kinds, plus a mix

Each kind shapes both the sound of the name and the landform it tends to take. Pick one to match your setting, or browse Any.

Alpine

High snowy peaks and stony ridges of crag and cloud, like Mount Stonehorn or the Greycrag Range.

Volcanic

Fire mountains of ash and ember, smoking cones and burning ridges, like Mount Emberfell or Ashspire.

Coastal

Sea cliffs and headland peaks of salt and gull, rising straight from the tide, like the Saltcliff Range or Cape Stormhead.

Desert

Bare sun-baked mesas and red rock buttes of dust and heat, like Redmesa or the Sandspire Range.

Frozen

Glacial summits and ice horns of rime and white, like Mount Frostfang or the Rimewall Range.

Naming tips

Making a mountain sound real

Let the land lead

The kind shapes the sound, so an Alpine peak sounds like crag and cloud and a Volcanic one like ash and ember. Match the name to the rock, fire or ice the mountain is actually made of.

Use the landform

Set the Landform to Peak for a single mountain, Range for a chain of them, Pass for the way through, or Summit for the high point a story climbs toward.

Refine, don't restart

Found a name you love but the wrong title? Choose it, hit Refine, lock the name and shuffle the landform instead.
