Just Wanted To Quickly Share This Great Website With Fellow Writers And Roleplayers, Because Its Where

Just wanted to quickly share this great website with fellow writers and roleplayers, because it’s where I find names 100% of the time, hashtag blessed. 

Essentially, the homepage has a box you can type a name you like into, then you’ll be presented with lists of male, female and unisex names related it by user votes and a google-like “also searched for…” feature. There are three ways to use this website. 

01: RANDOMLY. You don’t have to type a name to begin, you can just click one and keep going until you’re satisfied.  02: BY VIBE. Writing a stereotypical high school cheerleader who feels like a Claire, but isn’t? Search Claire and you’ll get tons of names with a similar feel. This also works with time period names.  03. BY ETHNICITY / NATIONALITY. In my screenshot, you can see I was searching for a name for Avan Jogia. I don’t know about you, but I think their very first suggestion of Ketan is perfect. This can help you make sure you aren’t entirely white washing names for a lack of options on most name lists. 

Additionally, you can click the lines beside a name to add it to your favorites list (stored with cookies), so you can organize all your options as you go. Have fun!

I would honestly prefer reading about the stupid paranormal romance where the weird non-human boyfriend can’t work out the DVD player over Brooding Manipulative and Controlling asshole trope
