🛸 Alien Name Generator — Discover Names From the Deepest Reaches of Space

Whether you're writing the next great space opera, developing a sci-fi video game, or creating a character for a tabletop RPG like Starfinder or Traveller, finding a name that sounds truly "alien" is a unique challenge. An Alien Name Generatoris your portal to thousands of unique combinations that break away from human phonetics.

🌌 Three Styles of Extraterrestrial Names

Our generator focuses on three distinct archetypes found in science fiction:

Technical / Droid

Inspired by designation codes and mechanical sounds. These names often use numbers and hyphens like XJ-7 Core.

Biological / Slime

Guttural and squelching sounds. Perfect for hive-minds or organic lifeforms like Gloopax or Slorp-ite.

Cosmic / Ethereal

Flowing, melodic names that sound ancient and grand. Ideal for advanced civilizations like Astris Galax.

🚀 Perfect for Sci-Fi World Building

Great world-building requires consistency. If you're designing a new planet, you don't just need a name for the hero; you need a naming convention for the whole species. Use our tool to batch-generate names and identify patterns that fit your vision.

💡 Tips for Naming Your Alien Species

  • Vocal Cords: Consider how the alien speaks. If they have no mouth, their names might be purely rhythmic or telepathic.
  • Culture: Is the society militaristic? Their names might be short and efficient. Are they artistic? Look for longer, melodic names.
  • Nicknames: Don't forget that human characters in your story might give aliens simpler nicknames if their real names are too hard to pronounce!
