Doctor Who Name Generator

Time Lords are born with long Gallifreyan names (Romanadvoratrelundar, for example) that are normally abbreviated to a short form like Romana. Those who leave Gallifrey often drop the name entirely and adopt a title such as the Doctor, the Master, the Rani, the Monk or the Corsair. Formal Gallifreyan society also uses rank titles like Cardinal, Castellan and Lord President.

Decide what your character is first. A Time Lord OC wants an ornate Gallifreyan name with a nickname, or a noun title if they are a renegade. A companion should have an everyday British-sounding name with a memorable surname. A monster or villain should be short and harsh, often with a rank in front (Commander, Marshal, Supreme). Pick the register, then choose a name that sits naturally next to the canon characters in that group.

Yes. Alongside Time Lords and companions you will find named Daleks (Sec, Caan, Thay, Jast), Cyber-Controllers and Cyberleaders, Sontaran officers, Ice Warriors, Zygons, Silurians and one-off villains like Sutekh, Fenric and the Toymaker, plus original alien names built in the same style.

Absolutely. The canon names are useful for reference and for populating a scene, and the original Time Lord, companion, villain and planet names are free to use for your own characters. Doctor Who itself is a BBC trademark, so keep the show's name out of any commercial product title.
