Namegens

Here lies all of my name generators. This is a continuous WIP and will be updated as needed :)If you click on a generator and it happens to be empty, check back again in a few days! It being linked on here means it's on my immediate to-do list.

Thank you for checking my stuff out!

My usual sources:
BTN (prelim.) | Wikipedia 1 2 (prelim.) | Forebears (checking)
I also trawl through lists of celebrities and social media for names too.
Other sources are credited on the associated namegens.

Hola! Halò! こんにちは! Hallo! สวัสดี! 안녕하세요! Bonjour! སྐུ་གཟུགས་བཟང་པོ། Γειά σας! Kamusta! Привет!


This is my general donations/support page!
If you can't or don't want to donate money, the best thing for you to do is to share my namegen project with your friends and anyone who may find it useful!
This is purely a hobby but monetary donations are much appreciated! This does take up a lot of time, plus I also have to pay for Carrd premium to be able to host all of my namegen links here. It really does not have to be much either; even 50p will be appreciated.

If you want to donate and see more of my work, the best thing to do is to take a look at my Patreon!
Here is the link for that.
I make custom content and mods for The Sims 4 when I have the time and ideas to do so. I might also share some of my writing at some point as well......
I also have Cashapp and Ko-Fi if you would prefer a one-off donation.
I also have a public wishlist here !!

Anyway, thank you so much for considering supporting me! I really appreciate anything, even just a share!
I love to see other people get helped out by my personal hobby <3


Thank you! Gracias! Dank u wel! ありがとう! Danke! Tapadh leibh! Ευχαριστούμε! Terima kasih! 谢谢! Grazie! Salamat!
