Game Name Generator

Your game is called "Project Ash" and you know it won't survive the Steam page. Generate title combos from real naming frameworks, shortlist your favorites, and clear the trademark-risk checklist before you commit.

🎲 Try a mini sample — the full tool has 6 genres × 5 vibes

The full generator adds genre/vibe pickers, all three frameworks (compound, evocative phrase, single-word punch), a ★ shortlist with copy-to-clipboard, and the interactive 10-point trademark checklist.

What's inside

Real generator toolgenerator.html runs offline in any browser: 6 genres × 5 vibes × 3 naming frameworks, with a curated word bank — no lorem-ipsum filler, no server, your ideas stay yours.
3 naming frameworksCompound (Ironfall), evocative phrase (Echoes of the Hollow), single-word punch (Vesper) — the patterns behind the titles that actually sell games.
Trademark-risk checklistInteractive 10-point checklist in the tool: Steam/itch search, USPTO + EUIPO lookups, the say-it-out-loud test, translation check, and search documentation — risk triage before you lock a name.
Naming framework guideThe full write-up: how each framework works, the rules, the traps (why "Dark Shadow" fails), and the 6-test selection gauntlet — bar test, capsule test, search test, and more.

Free sample — from the naming guide

The selection gauntlet (excerpt)

  1. The bar test: shout it across a noisy bar. If your friend can't spell it from hearing it once, players won't find it on Steam.
  2. The capsule test: does it read at 231×87 px (the small capsule)? Long titles shrink to mush.
  3. The search test: "Your Title" game on Google. Page 1 should be empty or irrelevant.

The full guide adds the say-it test, the sequel test, all three frameworks with rules and traps, and the complete 10-point trademark checklist.

One price. Yours forever.

FAQ

Is this just random word salad?

No. Every name is built from one of three real naming frameworks (compound, evocative phrase, single-word punch) using a curated genre/vibe word bank — the same patterns behind titles like Hollow Knight, Hades, and Stardew Valley.

Does the trademark checklist replace a lawyer?

No — it's risk triage, not legal advice. It walks you through the 10 checks (store searches, USPTO/EUIPO lookups, translation check) so you arrive at a lawyer with a shortlist that's already de-risked. A one-hour consult is cheaper than a rebrand.

Does the tool need the internet?

No. It's a single HTML file that runs entirely offline in your browser. Your title ideas never leave your machine.

What format is the download?

A ZIP with the generator (HTML, works offline), the naming framework guide (Markdown), and a README. No DRM, no expiry, use it on unlimited projects.
