About:
This is a name generating tool based off the U.S. population. The more common a name shows up in the U.S. population, the more likely it is to show up here. It uses the top 1,000 male*, female*, and last names (respectively) as well as the top 919 unisex* names. The cities are based off 20,412 unique city names within the U.S.
I was tired of pulling up name generators and getting names like Cornelius Broadswing or Orion Ballard. Any good name generator took a Master's in spreadsheeting to understand. So I made this! Hopefully this helps come up with some realistic names for your story!
*Note: Genders refer to the traditional gender assignment associated with these names according to the U.S. Census, not meant to hold any sort of connotation. Trans Rights are Human Rights.
