WoW Forever name generator

Every WoW Forever character has two names, a first name and a second name, and the pair must be unique in your region. Pick your race (Skyborne included), male or female, a class if you like, and whether you want names from the game's own lists or new ones in your race's style, and get a dozen full names at a time. Keep the ones you like, check a name you thought of yourself, and, logged in, keep one family name across all your characters.

Where do the names come from?

From the WoW Forever client's own name lists (its NameGen table): first names for each race and sex, and, new in Forever, second names for each race. New names are made from those lists on our server, with no AI: first names letter by letter in the race's style, and second names by pairing the halves of the race's own two-word names in new ways.

What are the rules for a WoW Forever name?

A first name is 2 to 12 letters, letters only, with no letter three times in a row; the game's own second names go up to 13 letters. Nothing on the game's reserved or blocked lists, and the game checks both names together. The full pair has to be free in your region.

Can I use the same surname on all my characters?

Yes. Log in and pick One family name on all my characters: the generator keeps that second name on your account and pairs every first name it makes with it. Blizzard's own example is a family of three sharing one second name.

Will the name be free in game?

Every name passes the game client's rules, but only the character screen can tell you whether someone already has that pair. A first name someone else has can still be yours with a different second name.
