Type a seed and the registry draws a mage in full: Corvin of the Moonlit Library, the Enigmatic - an arcane given name, an institutional affiliation, and a title that sounds earned rather than bought.
Bottom line: wizard names read as credentials. The given name carries the personal sound, the tower or order states where the magic was studied, and the title implies a specialty - stormcalling, glyph-keeping, dream-shaping. The three registries below hold the actual pools, and the draw is a checkable hash, not a random reshuffle.
The honest part: every registry entry is invented in period style - there is no canon of wizard names to be faithful to, and that is the fun. If your table needs mechanically grounded spellcasting instead of vibes, the class rules live in the official free rules linked in the notes.
How to use
- Type a seed name - yours, your character's concept, or any word with the right sound.
- Read the full style - given name, affiliation, title - plus the row numbers that built it.
- Changing one letter of the seed redraws everything; keep the seed in your notes if the name has to survive a campaign.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a name sound like a wizard?
Three layers. The given name leans Latinate or archaic (Corvin, Mirabel, Aurelius), the affiliation names an institution or a place of study (a spire, a library, an observatory, a circle), and the title claims a domain - glyphs, storms, dreams. Titles are earned in fiction, so the best ones imply a story rather than a decoration.
Why do wizards take tower and order names?
Because institutional magic is the tradition: guilds, colleges and towers certify their mages the way universities certify scholars. In games the wizard class formalizes this as schools of magic - evocation, illusion, divination - studied from a spellbook. An affiliation line in the name signals which tradition the mage came up through.
Is the draw random?
No - and that is deliberate. The seed's character codes are summed and the remainders pick one entry per registry, so the same seed prints the same mage on every device. Share the seed with your table and everyone sees the same name; reshuffling generators cannot make that promise.
Can I use these names commercially or in fiction?
The registry entries are invented and this page claims no rights over them; names themselves are not copyrightable, so your Corvin of the Moonlit Library is yours. The one caution: do not graft on protected names from existing franchises - invented-in-style is safe, recognizable IP is not.
