Captain Underpants Name Generator

The Captain Underpants name generator is really Professor Pippy P. Poopypants' Name Change-O-Chart 2000 from Dav Pilkey's fourth book, in which the professor forces every person on Earth to take a ridiculous name. The chart works in three steps: the first letter of your first name gives you a silly first name (Stinky, Lumpy, Buttercup, Gidget, Crusty), the last letter of your first name gives you the first half of a surname (Diaper, Toilet, Giggle, Bubble, Girdle), and the last letter of your last name gives you the ending (head, mouth, face, nose, tush). Put them together and you get the kind of name George and Harold would scribble onto a Treehouse Comix cover: Poopsie Monkeyshorts or Fluffy Lizardtush.

This generator follows the same recipe without being a lookup table, so every spin gives a new combination: a goofy first name (food, sound effect or squishy adjective) plus a compound surname built from something gross and a body part. Alongside those you will find the real cast, from Mr. Krupp and Melvin Sneedly to Wedgie Woman, Dr. Diaper and the Turbo Toilet 2000, and original heroes and villains in the same spirit: Captain Thunderbuns, Sir Toots-A-Lot, the Bionic Booger Beast.

Use it for read-aloud giggles, classroom comic projects, birthday party name tags or naming the villain in your own flip-o-rama.
