Frequently Asked Questions

Are the fantasy names compatible with D&D?
Yes. The Elven, Dwarven, and Orcish name pools are drawn from traditional D&D-style naming conventions. They’ll fit right into a Forgotten Realms or homebrew campaign.
Can I get duplicate names in a single batch?
Yes. Names are selected randomly with replacement from the pool, so duplicates are possible—especially with large batch sizes and small race-specific pools like Orc names.
