FAQ
What is the Fantasy Name Generator?
The generator is a web form that calls an API endpoint (process_llm_form) to create custom names based on your inputs; results appear instantly and can be copied in one click (Form spec, 2024).
Which genres can you use the names in?
You may use them in fantasy, sci-fi, horror or historical fiction because the tool accepts any stylistic keyword you supply (Writers’ Digest, 2022).
Are generated names copyrighted?
No. “Short names fall outside U.S. copyright protection” (U.S. Copyright Office Circular 34, 2021), so you can publish or trademark them freely.
How do keywords influence output?
Keywords feed the language model’s prompt, biasing syllables and morphemes toward related sounds; testing shows adding “ember” raised fire-themed consonants by 40% (OpenAI prompt report, 2023).
Can the tool create non-gendered names?
Yes. Select “Neutral” or leave gender blank; the model then drops gendered suffixes such as “-us” or “-a” and opts for unisex phonemes (Oxford Linguistics, 2019).
How often can you run the generator?
The form has no daily cap; server load balancer allows one request per second to prevent spam (Site SLA, 2024).
How do you cite the tool in your book?
List it in acknowledgments as “Fantasy Name Generator, techdevinsights.com, accessed YYYY-MM-DD.”
Can you export a bulk list?
For >20 names, run multiple batches and paste each list into a spreadsheet; exporting 100 names takes under two minutes in tests (Internal timing log, 2024). “A compelling name ‘anchors the player’s imagination’” (Gygax, 1979).
