Online Name Generators
The name generators is a 1 man hobby project started 10 years ago.
Now I have found time to update and modernize both the name generators and all the tech behind.
The online name generators are based on a "keep it simple" philosophy. From the simple user interface and one click name generation to the vanilla JavaScript laying underneath. Making it easy for users to use and for me to maintain.
The purpose of it all is off course to provide some cool and fun nicknames for your online life.
If you find a cool generator, please help me and share it with your friends. :-)
More about the project and the guy behind.
Nickname Generators
At the online-generator.com you can make all kind of cool online nicknames with a single click. The name generators comes in several different flavors. You can make funny superhero nicks, mysterious fantasy names, creative project names or funky bandnames.
Just pick your favorite name generator and start making online nicks for your favorite games, your friends and your projects.
Everything is really simple. No forms to fill. Just click the big generate button. All the names are saved to a list, so you won't miss any of them, even if your get carried away with some speed clicking. ;-)
You can click the names on the save list to check if the corresponding domain is available. It opens a new window and a domain availability check is instantly performed for you by an external partner.
Cool Names
I love cool names. And my main goal is off course to make cool names. But what is cool? It very often boils down to personal preference and background. Furthermore a cool online nickname is very different from a cool band or business name.
But good names share certain qualities over bad names. First of all a good name is catchy and create inner images. It will tell stories, is powerful and easy to remember and pronounce.
It's hard enough for us humans to come up with new creative and cool names. Things only get harder, when you try to do it with some rather simple JavaScript commands. Randomness to the rescue!
Random Name Generation
Unrestricted randomness is the only benefit a coded name generator has to humans when it comes to making new names. But pure random name generation would result in meaningless output and words hard to both pronounce and remember. You have to somehow restrict the randomness.
In name generator you do that with long lists of words and names, that are combined in different patterns according to the underlying mathematical algorithms
It's the right mixture of catchy words and mathematical random algorithms that gives variation and the randomness makes the surprising combinations.
In total all the online name generators are capable of making more than 25,000,000 random and unique names. Going from funny online nicks to more serious project names and brands!
Name generator categories
The generators can roughly be divided into 3 major categories after their primary uses. You can find cool online nicknames with the nickname generator, superhero generator or the pirate generator.
You can get ideas and inspiration to make creative company names and brands with the business generator, brand or project name generator.
Finally you can create epic fantasy names with the fantasy generator, clan generator and the evil name generator. Lots of cool fantasy names to use in your role playing games and for all your role RPG characters.
Domain availability check
From all of the generators you can now perform a domain availability check directly from the save list. Just pick the names you would like to domain check, click them to find out if the specific or any corresponding domains are available.
If the domain is already in use alternative domains and top level domains are suggested based on your initial request.
Name generator NEWS
Team Name Generator rewrite
Statistics for the team generator showed that users left it faster than all my other generators, so the generator has gone through a complete rewrite. All arrays has been written from scratch and hopefully making much more suitable for a much broader audience.

New secure connection

First you need to decide what kind of names or generators your are looking for. Is it

Cool nicknames
You can get cool nicknames from several of the name generators at the website. The nickname generators offers both some very funny and plenty of cool nicknames. From the scary vampire and to the salty pirate names from funny superhero and dark and evil names.
But coolness can also be the kind of mysterious badass coolness you find in the fantasy universe. So maybe one of my many fantasy generators will be the best solution in the quest for the perfect cool nicks. Try the wow, elf or fantasy name generators if you are more into badass, dark or mysterious kind of naming.
When you find the perfect nickname it can be used in unlimited ways. Use it as the ultimate cool online screen or character names in any kind of online communities. Use among your friends. Or use in your school project. Only your imagination sets the limit.

Funny name generator
So you need a funny name? Several funny name generators among the lot. The superhero generator is a great place to start the search for funny names. But you has also a good opportunity to find many good funny names at the pirate, evil or nickname generator
Well i love a good laugh and an ironic and funny approach, so in many of my generators you will find the occasional funny name as the hidden easter egg. Some times on purpose, but also sometimes by chance.

Character name generator
Many of the generators are character name generators. The character name generators also falls in different categories.
Funny character name generator
Most of the funny nickname randomizer are character name generators. Character name generators that are coming up with ideas for character names to your online characters or identity.
Real life character name generator
Both the fake and random name generator are real life character name generators. These very genuine and realistic character names can be used for both false Internet identities or for naming people in novels, essays or reports.
Screen name generators
Nickname generators can also be used as character name generators mainly for your Internet alter egos. But the most common use of them is for funny screen names used on online communities like forums, bulletin boards, twitter, social networking places or wherever you need a cool nick, avatar, tag or screen name.
The philosophy behind the project
The philosophy behind the whole project is that an online web application should only offer the fundamental features and functions. Features that will satisfy the needs of 90% of my users. This philosophy makes the name generators easy to operate from your very first visit.
Many name generators requires user input like typing your name, checking your sex etc. I think they are a hassle to use. Much faster just to hit the generator button and make a new name, if you didn't like the first ones. And just click away. Remember all the names are saved to a list, so you won't miss any of them.
Other name generators are characterized by messy user interfaces and too many and confusing choice to make. This is unnecessary. The online generator is supposed to do the hard work. Not you.
The result is that the name generators are easy to use, easy to understand, simple and functional even for first timers.
The programming behind the project
All the scripting are based on native JavaScript to produce a super fast, instantly and modern responsive web apps.
The JavaScript is executed locally in the users browser. It's modern web technology at its best. Super high speed naming and maximum privacy. Server side technologies like php are extremely slow
