Name Generator Template?

[Techwright]

Can anyone recommend a good, or at least reasonable, name generator template?  I've some ideas for a superpowered characters name generator I'd like to experiment with.

Thanks.  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.

A tad slow on compositing results, but hey, you get there...eventually.

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.

Wow, this takes me back. 

 

Anyway, some favourites:

Professor Electric Wolfman

The Quantum Rhinoceros
Dragonloom

Lord Glorious Bear and his husband Agent Gigantic Catman

 

And several others I'm keeping to myself because they were actually good.

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!

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...

Some people put too much pressure on themself to come up with a name.

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

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.

Well, I can't say I wouldn't be tempted...

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.
