How Do You Generate a Sci-Fi Name?
To generate a sci-fi name, pick a kind such as Human, Alien, Android / AI, Starship, Planet or Corporation, set Gender to Any, Male or Female, and click Generate names. Choose Add details to give every name a backstory, from a pilot’s home colony to a starship’s crew size. The tool gives you 12 original sci-fi names in under a second.
Every part of a sci-fi universe needs its own kind of name. Humans sound like future colonists, like Silas Halloran, a Marine born on the Luna colonies. Aliens carry unusual names and homeworlds, like Nymtek of Korora, while androids and AIs use model numbers, like Model V94. Starships take a prefix and a bold name, like ISV Silent Tide, planets get catalogue names, like Kepler-479b, and megacorps sound powerful and a little sinister, like Orion-Kessler Corp., which secretly funds pirates.
Names are created on your own device. The generator combines sci-fi sounds, prefixes, numbers and details right in your browser, so names appear instantly and nothing is sent to Teasoft. Only when you click Get more with AI are your kind, settings and the names on screen sent to the free Pollinations AI service to suggest more.
What each kind gives you:
| Kind | Example name | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Anything | Silas Halloran, ISV Silent Tide, Kepler-479b | A surprise mix of every kind |
| Human | Silas Halloran | Marine, born on the Luna colonies |
| Alien | Nymtek of Korora | Amphibian species, trader |
| Android / AI | Model V94 | Rogue AI, running on old code |
| Starship | ISV Silent Tide | Cargo hauler, crew of 580 |
| Planet | Kepler-479b | Volcanic world, 4 moons |

What Should I Do After Choosing a Sci-Fi Name?
Once you have the right name, use these free Teasoft tools to build out your universe and share it.
How to Generate a Sci-Fi Name
Pick a kind
Choose what to name, such as a Human pilot, an Alien, an Android, a Starship, a Planet or a Corporation. Choose Anything for a surprise mix.
Choose your settings
Set Gender to Any, Male or Female, then choose Name only, or Add details for jobs, homeworlds and ship classes.
Generate and save
Click Generate names to get 12 sci-fi names. Tap the star beside the ones you like, then copy them or download them as a .txt file.
Tip: say the name aloud as if it were in a ship’s log or mission briefing. If it is easy to say, easy to spell and sounds like it belongs in your universe, readers will remember it. Keep names consistent in your story bible with the Title Case Converter.
Which Kind Should I Choose?
| What you need | Kind | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Pilot, captain or colonist | Human | Future-sounding human names with jobs and homes |
| Character from another species | Alien | Unusual names with a species and homeworld |
| Robot, android or ship’s computer | Android / AI | Model numbers and AI names |
| Ship for your crew or fleet | Starship | Prefixes, classes and crew sizes |
| World for your story to visit | Planet | Catalogue names with world types and moons |
| Faction or villain company | Corporation | Powerful megacorp names with a secret |
| Ideas for a whole universe | Anything | A mix of every kind |
Tips for choosing a great sci-fi name
- Fit the tech level. Gritty futures suit hard, practical names, while far futures can be strange and new.
- Keep it easy to say. Readers should be able to say names without stumbling.
- Use prefixes for ships. A prefix like ISV makes a ship feel part of a real fleet.
- Give planets numbers. Catalogue names like Kepler-479b sound scientific and real.
- Avoid famous names. Steer clear of names that sound too close to well-known sci-fi.
After you choose your sci-fi name
- Build a story bible. Keep your characters, ships, planets and factions in one place.
- Search the name. Make sure it is not already a famous character, ship or planet from books, films or games.
- Fill your universe. Create alien species with the Alien Species Name Generator.
- Share your universe. Style names with the Bold Text Generator and share your art with the Instagram Text Formatter.
