Introduction
Picking a character name can feel like naming a pet rock. It sounds simple, but then you realize the rock needs personality, too. A good name makes your character stand out and stay in the reader’s mind.
Some names are funny, some are cool, and some are just plain weird. The trick is to choose one that fits your story. You don’t want a brave knight called Mr. Fluffy or a scary vampire named Cupcake.
This guide is here to help. We’ll share names with meanings, silly ones for laughs, and strong ones for heroes. You’ll see names for games, books, and even roleplay.
So sit back, relax, and get ready to meet a big pile of names. Some might make you laugh, some might make you think. And who knows, maybe the perfect one is waiting for your character right here.

Wrapping Up the Name Game
Names are like little costumes for your characters. Pick the right one and suddenly they feel alive. Pick a funny one and people laugh. Pick a cool one and readers nod like “yeah, that works.”
The best part is you don’t have to rush. You can try names on like hats until you find one that fits. Some will sound too big, some too small, but one will feel just right.
Remember, a good name makes your story or game more fun. It helps people remember who’s who and adds a spark to the adventure.
So, whether your character is a hero, a sidekick, or just there to bring snacks, give them a name that sticks. After all, even the silliest goblin or bravest knight deserves a name that shines.
