Frequently asked questions
Where do the names come from?
They are built from the name tables of the game itself, sorted by race and sex, so each name sounds like the people it is meant for. None of them is the name of an existing character.
Will the game accept the name I pick?
Each name is compared with the game’s lists of reserved and forbidden names, so the ones the game would refuse for those reasons are left out.
What are the naming rules?
A character has a single name of 2 to 12 letters, with no digit or space. The game also refuses names that break its code of conduct.
Why only one name per character?
In World of Warcraft a character has one name, so each card in the generator shows just one. To give it a flavour, pick the race and read its introduction below the generator.
How do I choose a name that fits my character?
Pick the race, the sex and the class, draw twelve names, then read the introduction of the race to get a feel for what it stands for. Keep the ones you like: your favourites stay in your browser and copy in one tap.
Can I check whether a name is already taken?
Not from here: only the game knows which names other players have already chosen. The character creation screen tells you straight away, so try your favourite there and keep two or three spares.
