The big idea
Character names matter — they set tone and personality. AI is amazing at generating names that fit. Whether silly, serious, or fantasy, AI delivers.
Some examples

'Generate 10 silly names for a dragon that loves puns.'
'Suggest 10 names for a character who is part-cat, part-detective.'
'Help me name a robot side-kick. Make it cute.'
Try it!
