Name Craft

Names & places for writers

Name Craft is a focused writing tool for fiction authors who want strong character and place names without losing momentum.

Generate names quickly, understand their meaning, and build believable worlds without getting stuck in research rabbit holes.

What Name Craft does

Name Craft helps you move past one of the most common blockers in fiction writing; naming things.

With Name Craft, you can:

• Generate character names suitable for fiction and storytelling
• Create place names for towns, regions, and worlds
• Explore meanings and origins to add depth and coherence
• Save and revisit your search history
• Stay in flow while writing, instead of breaking off to research

This is a writing aid, not a baby-name app and not a character avatar tool.

Built for writers

Name Craft is designed specifically for:

• Fiction writers and novelists
• Worldbuilders and storytellers
• Authors working on long-form projects
• Anyone who needs believable names that fit a narrative context

The focus is clarity, speed, and usefulness; not gimmicks.

Language support

Name Craft currently supports English.

Additional languages may be added in the future, but the app is deliberately focused today to ensure quality and consistency.

How people use it

Writers use Name Craft to:

• Name characters during outlining and drafting
• Rename placeholders late in the editing process
• Create consistent naming conventions for worlds
• Explore alternatives when a name does not quite fit

It works equally well for planning and for writing in the moment.

Available on iOS

Name Craft is available on iPhone via the Apple App Store.

Subscriptions are managed through Apple.
