Cyberpunk 2077 Name Generator

Cyberpunk 2077 characters usually carry two names: the one on their birth certificate and the one the street knows them by. Handles are short and punchy, often a single word with a hard consonant or a tech edge (Rogue, Brick, Kiwi, Rebecca's crew calling her Becca, Songbird for Sonya Kovacs). Full names reflect Night City's population, a mash of Californian, Mexican, Japanese, Polish, Haitian, and Black American families layered on top of corporate transplants from Arasaka and Militech. Jackie Welles, Judy Alvarez, Goro Takemura, Misty Olszewski, and Placide together give a good sense of the range.

The game itself hints at how the world assigns names by lifepath. Street Kids and Nomads lean on handles and clan-style surnames (Panam Palmer of the Aldecaldos, Saul Bright), corpos use their legal names in full (Meredith Stout, Yorinobu Arasaka), and netrunners almost always go by an alias (Alt Cunningham is famous partly because she did not). Edgerunners' cast (David Martinez, Lucy Kushinada, Maine, Dorio, Pilar) follows the same rules.

The list above gives you canon names for reference plus a much larger set of original handles and full names built on those patterns. Grab a one-word handle for a merc, a full multi-ethnic name for a fixer or corpo, or pair a handle with a surname (Ghost Kowalski, Trigger Ortiz) for a solo who has been around long enough to earn a reputation.
