I'm aware of that massive database of generators, and its amazing. I'm looking more for one that would allow me to build my own. Fill in the fields with a host of names, titles, and name parts, that sort of thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminara Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Why are you laughing? I'm serious. A good thesaurus is the best name generator in the world. It's also Viagra for your lexicon. 1 1 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yomo Kimyata Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Take your power sets, then come up with a bad pun that involves them both, ideally. I just made a ice/stone scrapper. He was a world class chef until he accidentally ingested 4S ("Super Secret Soldier Serum") when the Council invaded his restaurant as two international agents were making an exchange. Hilarity and mayhem ensued. Say hello to Quiche Moraine! Who run Bartertown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biostem Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 If all else fails, I look for units of measurement associated with the particular powerset(s) I've selected: Amp, Volt, Watt, Newton, Coulomb, Curie, Octave, Decibel, Fahrenheit, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player2 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 If the name you want is taken, try adding a title, rank, or honorifics in front of it: Capt. or Captain Col. or Colonel Dr. or Doctor Gen. or General Lady or Lord Lt. or Lieutenant Maj. or Major Master Mr. or Mister Ms. or Mrs. or Miss Prof. or Prof. Pvt. or Private Sgt. or Sergeant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with quantity modifiers if necessary; I had Kilodyne, an En/En Blaster, back on Live. Or you can go with Dogbert's suggestion to use an astronomical reference as a modifier, although Dilbert's retort of "Uranus-Hertz" shows the potential problems with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikerFox Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I've been using Pacific Rim name generators for some characters and MM pets. There are separate ones for Kaiju and Jaegers. They create pretty unique names like: Jaeger: Titan Bohemian, Echo Rebel, Solar Battler, Crimson Hellion etc. Kaiju: Shivmaul, Grievance, Tuskblight, Crystalreaver etc. There are several different generators, all with their own word pools. Easy to find them with Google. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
