Alright so today I randomly thought, hey how do people get those cool names for Baldur’s Gate 3 characters? Saw folks posting fancy elf names online and went down the rabbit hole. Let me walk you through exactly what I did.
The starting confusion
First I just typed “bg3 name generator” straight into google. Big mistake. Got flooded with articles about why you need good names instead of actual generators. Got annoyed real quick.
Filtering the junk
Changed my search to “bg3 name generator tool -guide -article -tips”. Scrolled past all those fake download buttons until I spotted something real. Found a site that didn’t ask for email or registration – huge win!
Making it work
Here’s where the magic happened:
- Step 1: Selected “drow” from the race dropdown
- Step 2: Clicked “feminine” under naming style
- Step 3: Slammed that big generate button like it owed me money
Boom! Got “Lae’zel’ryn” immediately which sounded properly spooky. Did five more clicks just to see variations.
Fun discoveries
Turns out the secret sauce is changing the race filter! Tried halfling names and got totally different vibes – things like “Poppy Meadowgrass” that made me chuckle. Also noticed:
- Sometimes you get ridiculous names – kept getting “Killfart Soulchewer” for orcs
- The “surprise me” button gave weird mixes like elven names with dwarf suffixes
Final takeaway
Honestly? Generating these names turned out to be simple once I filtered through all the fluff sites. Just pick race + gender combo then spam the generate button till you find gold. Might try dragonborn names tomorrow – heard they sound like microwave noises!
