Darkest Dungeon Name Generator

Darkest Dungeon names its heroes with a single old-world given name and nothing else. The default roster tells you the register immediately: Reynauld the Crusader, Dismas the Highwayman, Paracelsus the Plague Doctor, Junia the Vestal, Baldwin the Leper, Barristan the Man-at-Arms, Alhazred the Occultist. Red Hook pulled from medieval England and France (Geoffrey, Osbert, Matilda, Hawise), from Latin and German (Ignatius, Sigismund, Hildegard), and from history and literature for the more exotic classes: Boudica for the Hellion, Paracelsus for the doctor, Alhazred for the scholar of forbidden books. The random name pool that fills your Stage Coach follows the same rule, which is why a hero called Brad or Jessica breaks the mood instantly.

This generator keeps to that convention. Most entries are single names you can drop straight into the rename box, split between Norman and Saxon men's names, medieval women's names, alchemists and Hellion-style warrior women, and the desert names that suit a Shieldbreaker. There are also full names with bleak English surnames for players who like surnames on their roster, a handful of earned epithets for heroes who survived the Darkest Dungeon itself, and estate names for the Ancestor's crumbling holdings when you start a new campaign.

Choose something that sounds right read aloud by the Narrator over a torch guttering in the Ruins.
