Contact LoreGenerator

Everything reaches one inbox: info@loregenerator.com. There is no support desk, no ticket queue and no chatbot — a reply comes from the person who maintains the site, which is also why it can take a few days rather than a few minutes.

What to send, and what happens to it

Corrections are the most valuable message this site receives, and they get acted on fastest. The site is built on 77 stored name pools and roughly as many written guides, and the two can drift apart without anybody editing a word. If you spot any of the following, say so:

  • A name in a generator that belongs to a published commercial setting.
  • A page that describes its pool inaccurately — it claims a name is included and the generator never produces it, or the other way round.
  • An etymology or a factual claim on a guide that is wrong.
  • A broken link, a page that will not load, or a generator button that does nothing.

You do not need to be polite about it and you do not need to explain the fix. Naming the page is enough.

Requests for new generators

These are welcome, and the honest answer is that they are slow. A new generator means writing and checking between 17 and 40 names, then writing a guide that explains where that naming convention actually comes from. That is a real piece of work rather than a configuration change, so a request is a queue entry rather than a promise.

Two things make a request much more likely to happen:

Tell me what the names should sound like. “A generator for X” is hard to act on. “A generator for X, and they should sound closer to Y than to Z” is most of the design decision already made.

Check whether an existing pool already fits. Species labels matter far less than sound. The full generator list is worth a look first — a troll pool will often serve an ogre, and a fae pool will often serve a spirit.

Things this site does not do, so you do not have to ask

Being clear about the boundaries saves everybody time, and an older version of this page was vague enough to imply features that have never existed. To be direct:

There are no accounts. Nothing is stored against you, nothing is saved between visits, and there is nothing to log into. If you want to keep a name, copy it.

There is no paid tier and never has been. Every generator on the site is fully available to everybody. There is no premium pool, no usage cap and no upgrade.

There is no export feature. Names appear on the page and you copy them. There is no download, no API and no bulk generation.

There are no map, campaign or character-sheet tools. The site does one thing: fantasy name generators, and written guides about naming.

There is no forum or community platform. The email address above is the whole of it.

There is no email gate on anything. No generator will ever ask for an address before giving you a name. The newsletter form is optional and unrelated to using the site.

Licensing and commercial use

The short version: use the names. No attribution is required, no permission is needed, and this applies to commercial work — published novels, sold modules, video games, anything.

Individual names are not generally protectable, which is the legal reason this is straightforward. The practical caution is different and worth taking seriously: a name can be free to use and still be a bad idea if readers strongly associate it with an existing setting.

Pools here are audited to remove names that are recognisably borrowed, including ones that are merely adjacent rather than identical. Where a name carries a strong real-world or literary association that is worth knowing about, the relevant generator page flags it in the text rather than leaving you to find out later.

If you believe a name in a pool infringes something, email the address above with the generator and the name. That gets treated as urgent.

Press, links and everything else

Linking to the site needs no permission. If you run a worldbuilding guide, a library resource list or a GM toolkit and want to include a specific generator, link straight to the generator page rather than the homepage — the guides live on the individual pages and that is where a reader lands most usefully.

Quoting the guides is fine with a link back. The written material on the generator pages is original.

Privacy questions are covered by the privacy policy, which explains what happens to anything you send through the form below or to the address above.

How the site is built and maintained is set out on the about page, including the pool corrections made when a generator turned out not to match its own description.

Frequently asked questions

How do I contact LoreGenerator?

Email info@loregenerator.com, or use the form on this page. Both reach the same inbox. There is no support desk and no ticket system, so the reply comes from the person who maintains the site — which also means it may take a few days rather than a few minutes.

How long does a reply take?

Usually a few days. The site is maintained by one person alongside other work, so there is no service-level promise to make. Corrections and anything touching a rights or licensing question are handled first.

How do I report a wrong name or a mistake on a page?

Email info@loregenerator.com and name the page. You do not need to explain the fix or be diplomatic about it. Reports that a pool contradicts its own page, that an etymology is wrong, or that a name belongs to a published setting are the most useful messages this site receives.

Can I request a new name generator?

Yes. A request is a queue entry rather than a promise, because a new generator means writing and checking between 17 and 40 names plus a guide explaining where that naming convention comes from. Telling me what the names should sound like, rather than only what they are for, makes it far more likely to happen.

Do I need an account to use the generators?

No. There are no accounts on this site, nothing is stored against you, and there is nothing to log into. There is also no paid tier, no usage cap and no email gate on any generator.

Can I use the names in something I sell?

Yes, with no attribution and no permission needed. Individual names are not generally protectable. Pools are audited to remove names recognisably borrowed from existing commercial settings, and individual generator pages flag any name that carries a strong association worth knowing about.

Is there an API or a way to download the names?

No. There is no API, no export and no bulk generation. Names appear on the page and you copy them. Most generator pages also list their full pool in the written guide, which is the closest thing to a complete list.

Send a message

The form goes to the same address as everything else. A note about which page you were on saves a round trip.
