Dead by Daylight names built from the game itself: perk puns, killer and survivor mains, looping and gen-rushing memes, realm names, original killer titles and survivor names for DBD OCs. Use one for your Steam or in-game name, your stream, or a fan character.

About Dead by Daylight names

Dead by Daylight names get read in two places: the pre-game lobby, where the killer sizes up four survivors by their names and items, and the end-game scoreboard, where everyone finds out who was the Blendette in the corn. The community has its own vocabulary, and the best names lean on it. Perk names are the obvious well (Dead Hard Denied, Pop Goes the Weasel, Hex Ruin Ruined), followed by killer powers (Three Blink Nurse, Billy Curve, Tombstone Myers), survivor archetypes (Locker Dwight, Toxic Meg, P100 Claudette) and the memes every player recognizes: gen rushing, teabagging at the gate, face camping, slugging for the four K, and the hatch stand-off.

There is also a quieter style that fits the game's atmosphere: realm names (Coldwind Farm Corn, Eyrie of Crows, Dead Dawg Saloon), Entity lore (Fog Dweller, Between Trials, Benedict Baker's Journal) and two-word aesthetic handles like Pale Fog or Rusted Hook. For players writing an original killer or survivor, the list includes fan-killer titles in the game's "The ___" convention (The Seamstress, The Lamplighter, The Ferryman) and plain, realistic survivor names, since DBD survivors are ordinary people with ordinary names.

Most entries fit Steam's 32-character limit and read well in the kill feed; the longer loadout jokes are easy to shorten.

How to choose Dead by Daylight names

Steam names can be 32 characters but the DBD scoreboard truncates long ones, so aim for 20 or fewer if you want the whole joke to show on the end screen.
Killer-main names (Billy Curve, Wind Up Wendy) announce what you play; if you switch sides a lot, a neutral fog or Entity name avoids looking odd when you're the one on the hook.
Perk puns work best when they name a perk people actually run. Dead Hard, Decisive Strike, NOED and Pain Resonance will be recognized in any lobby; a 2017 perk nobody equips will not.
For an original killer, follow the game's naming convention: a title of the form 'The [occupation or trait]' (The Taxidermist, The Bellringer), with a realistic human name for the backstory.
Avoid names that threaten or taunt specific players ('I tunnel Megs', anything about DCing); Behaviour does act on reported names, and they invite exactly the games you don't want.

Frequently asked questions

Does my Dead by Daylight name come from Steam or the game?

On PC your in-game name is your Steam (or Epic) display name, and on console it is your platform gamertag or PSN ID. DBD doesn't have its own separate username, so you change it by editing your platform profile; the new name shows up the next time you launch the game.

What makes a good killer-main name?

Something that references your killer's power or a well-known play with them: Three Blink Nurse, Tombstone Myers, Billy Curve, Boop the Snoot for Pig. Survivors read it in the lobby and it sets the tone before the trial starts. If you play several killers, a fog or Entity name is more flexible.

Can I use these names for a DBD OC killer or survivor?

Yes. The entries written as 'The ___' (The Seamstress, The Gravedigger, The Projectionist) follow the game's killer-title convention, and the plain full names like Esme Hollowell or Tobias Renwick are in the realistic style of the game's survivor roster, where characters are ordinary people pulled into the Fog.

Are meme names like 'Gen Rush Gus' or 'Face Camper Frank' a bad idea?

They're fine as long as they're a joke rather than a promise. Names that mock a playstyle are part of the community's humor; names that threaten to tunnel, camp or DC tend to get you targeted and can be reported as harassment under Behaviour's name policy.
