How to use the star wars name generator

- Press Generate names to see ten Star Wars style names.

- Decide your character's role, like Jedi, pilot or smuggler, and pick the name that sounds most like it.
Why Star Wars names sound the way they do
Star Wars names often feel like real names that have been pushed slightly off course. A familiar sound gets a strange ending, or two short syllables join in a new way. This keeps names easy to say while still feeling alien. Single-syllable starts like Han, Rey or Jyn show how short many of the best-loved names are.
Alien species add more range. Some names use apostrophes, double letters or harsh clusters. For a human or near-human character, a short, clean name works best. For an alien, try adding an extra syllable or a doubled vowel to a result from this tool.
Names for Jedi, Sith, pilots and smugglers
Each role in the galaxy has its own feel. Jedi names often sound calm and balanced, with soft endings. Sith take a new title when they join the dark side, so a Sith character can keep a normal birth name and add a dark title like Darth plus a short, menacing word.
Pilots and soldiers suit quick, punchy names that are easy to shout over a comm channel. Smugglers and bounty hunters suit gritty names with hard letters. Senators and royals suit longer names with graceful endings.
- Jedi: Talath Vorane, Iriana.
- Pilot: Jax Kalar, Dalis.
- Smuggler: Vashek Daxix, Os.
- Royal or senator: Padelle Belova.
Getting a Star Wars name with your name
A popular fan game is to make your own Star Wars name from your real one. Take the first sound of your first name and look for a result that starts the same way. Then pick a surname that starts with the first letter of your real last name. It keeps a bit of you inside your galactic alter ego.
Example names and what makes them work
