    Underdark fantasy names: drow, duergar, deep gnome and Deep Human

    The four peoples of the deep do not sound like their surface cousins, so they have their own name styles. Drow names are long and sibilant, with a great house behind them. Duergar names are grim and grinding, with clans of iron, ash and slag. Deep gnome (svirfneblin) names are short and careful, built from stone and gems. Deep Human (Imaskari) names come from an ancient, arcane people of the deep. Each has masculine, feminine and neutral options.

    Each has its own page too: the drow name generator and the Underdark name generator for all four peoples.

    Gender-neutral fantasy names

    Need a name for a nonbinary character, an androgynous NPC or a creature with no gender at all? Choose Neutral in the Style menu. Neutral names use their own endings, so they do not read as masculine or feminine. They are available for every species, from human, elf and dwarf to goblin, kobold and tabaxi, and each one has its own neutral portrait.

    Names for the whole party

    Every name here is built from original name parts written for Warfront, so a name you roll today is unlikely to turn up at another table. Elves get long, flowing names, dwarves short blunt ones with clan names from the forge, halflings cozy surnames, and goblins nicknames nobody would pick for themselves. Click a name to put it on the character and copy it, then use it as is or change a letter or two to make it yours.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is the Warfront Fantasy Name Generator free?

    Yes. It is free to use, with no account, no sign-up and no card. The names are made in your browser, so nothing you roll is sent anywhere.

    How many fantasy names can it make?

    Every name is built from original name parts written for Warfront, so one species can make hundreds of thousands of different names, and the whole generator can make more than four million. You are unlikely to roll the same name twice.

    Which D&D species and races does the name generator cover?

    Human (in Common, Northern and Desert styles), elf, dwarf, halfling, gnome, orc and half-orc, tiefling, dragonborn, goblin, kobold, tabaxi, aasimar, goliath and genasi, plus four Underdark species: drow, duergar, deep gnome (svirfneblin) and Deep Human (Imaskari). Every species has masculine, feminine and neutral name options.

    Does the generator have gender-neutral fantasy names?

    Yes. Choose Neutral in the Style menu and the generator uses neutral endings that do not read as masculine or feminine, for example for a nonbinary character or an androgynous NPC. You can pair a neutral name with any portrait.

    Does it have drow, duergar and other Underdark names?

    Yes. Pick Drow, Duergar, Deep Gnome (Svirfneblin) or Deep Human (Imaskari) from the Underdark group in the Species menu. Each has its own name style, not a copy of the surface elf, dwarf, gnome or human names, and each has masculine, feminine and neutral options.

    Can I use these names for my D&D characters, NPCs and monsters?

    Yes. Use them for player characters, NPCs, villains, shopkeepers, monsters, novels or any other game. Many names can also double as place or tavern names. Check a name you plan to publish against existing characters, since a coincidental match can happen.

    Are the character pictures made by the name generator?

    No. The portraits are example art only, so you can picture the species you picked. The generator makes the names; it does not make or change the portraits.

    Is there a name generator inside Warfront?

    Yes. The same generator is built into the Warfront token editor: press Name ideas next to the Name field when you make a token. It is open to Game Masters and players on every plan.

    Making the token to go with it?

    Warfront is a battle map and token tracker for 5E that does the rules for you, and the same name generator is built into its token editor. Browse the free maps and tokens or try Warfront now.
