A name generator is a computer program that uses rules of language or techniques to combine words to generate new names. A name generator is often created with a specific application intent. This ranges from advertisers who use the generator to come up with ideas for new brand names, to people who are looking for an unusual name for their offspring or a pet.

Domain name generator

Finding and registering a meaningful domain name has become increasingly difficult as most of the words in dictionaries have already been registered by organizations or individuals. Unique and meaningful word combinations that have not already been registered are difficult to find. The introduction of new top-level domains has alleviated the problem, but most companies still prefer a ".com" domain. There are several strategies for choosing good domain names: using the company name or its abbreviation, using industry-specific words or phrases, or simply using a short and easy-to-remember name. These methods are commonly used by a domain name generator that combines a user-supplied keyword with a database of prefixes and suffixes . A domain name generator generates a list of names and at the same time asks a Whois database to check whether the resulting names are still available. This type of utility is also used in domain trading .

Fictional name generator

This type of name generator generates fictional names, so-called fantasy names, for people and characters that are used in role-playing games as names for player characters or by authors of literary works. Such a name generator generates names of certain nationalities based on the combination of typical first names and family names. Technically more sophisticated rules, for example, create the feminine form of the family name, as is common in Russia or Greece. Other generators generate completely fictitious names based on text analysis or syllables arranged in such a way that the sound matches the genre: names for elves , trolls, etc.
