FAQ
Before you run it
What should I include for better towns and cities generators names?
Give the place a region, climate, age, language influence, and social pressure. The generator can use those details to keep the names from feeling interchangeable.
Can I use these names in worldbuilding?
Yes. Use the first pass as a naming board, then ask for variants that share roots, sounds, or local history.
How is this better than a static place-name list?
A static list gives unrelated names. This can generate names that belong to the same map, culture, or story problem.
