Doraemon Name Generator
Robot cats, classmates and secret gadget names
Doraemon names in three kinds: the series cast from Doraemon and Dorami to Nobita Nobi and Gian, new robot cats such as Doramaru and Wanemon, and new secret gadgets in the two-word recipe, such as Courage Bread, Yesterday Door and Tidy-Up Light.
About Doraemon names
Doraemon has three kinds of name. The robot cats share a stem: Doraemon, his sister Dorami, and the friends known as The Doraemons, such as Dora-the-Kid. The name joins dora, from the Japanese word for a stray cat, to emon, an old-fashioned ending for a man's name. The children have ordinary Japanese names with a nickname for daily use: Nobita Nobi, Shizuka Minamoto, Suneo Honekawa and Takeshi Goda, who is called Gian. The secret gadgets are plain descriptions of what the thing does, as in Anywhere Door, Small Light and Memory Bread.
About sixty entries come from the series and its films: the cast, the names the American dub uses, such as Noby and Big G, and a short set of well-known gadgets in one common English form. It is a reference block, not a full cast list. Everything else is new, written in the style, and not to be read as canon.
The new part holds robot animals on the Dora stem and its cousins (Doramaru, Wanemon, Usami), classmates and teachers with real Japanese names, playground nicknames such as Ken-chan and Captain Home Run, visitors from the 22nd century, a few pets, and the largest group: new gadgets in the two-word recipe, an everyday object plus what it does, such as Yesterday Door and Courage Bread.
How to choose Doraemon names
- For a new gadget, start with a thing from a schoolbag or a kitchen drawer and add the one job it does. Rainy-Day Door and Mending Tape tell the whole idea in two or three words, which is how the series names its own.
- Robot cats keep the Dora stem and change the ending: Doramaru and Dorakichi use old-fashioned Japanese name endings. For another animal, swap the front instead, as in Wanemon for a dog, from wan, the Japanese sound of a bark.
- Japanese names in this list are written given name first, the way English editions write Nobita Nobi. In Japan the family name comes first, so Haruto Nishimura is Nishimura Haruto at school.
- A playground nickname is often the first sound or two of the given name plus chan or kun: Kenta becomes Ken-chan and Kazuki becomes Kazu-kun. The nicknames here are about games and hobbies, never about looks or school marks.
- Give your own characters and inventions the new names, and keep the series names for talking about the series.
Frequently asked questions
Which names on this page are from the series?
About sixty. They are the cast, including Doraemon, Dorami, Nobita Nobi, Shizuka Minamoto, Takeshi Goda (Gian), Suneo Honekawa, Hidetoshi Dekisugi, Jaiko, Sewashi and The Doraemons, a few film characters such as Piisuke, and the gadgets named in the next answer. Every other entry is new and written in the style of the series. This is a fan page with no link to the creators or the publisher, and the series block is a reference, not a full list.
Which gadget names are real Doraemon gadgets?
Twenty-two: Anywhere Door, Bamboo-Copter, Time Machine, Small Light, Big Light, Time Cloth, Translation Gummy, Memory Bread, What-If Phone Booth, Pass Loop, Four-Dimensional Pocket, Spare Pocket, Dress-Up Camera, Gulliver Tunnel, Time TV, Invisible Cloak, Time Belt, Computer Pencil, Weather Box, Stone Hat, Gourmet Tablecloth and Adaptation Light. English translations differ, so you may know some of them under another name. All other gadget names here, such as Courage Bread and Yesterday Door, are new, and because the series has a great many gadgets a new name may happen to echo one of them.
How are Doraemon characters named?
Robot cats carry the Dora stem, as in Doraemon, Dorami and Mini-Dora. The children have everyday Japanese names and go by a nickname or a short form, so Takeshi Goda is Gian to everyone. New names on this page follow both habits, with robots such as Dorataro and Kumaemon and nicknames such as Yocchan and Kite Master.
Are the Japanese names on this page real names?
The classmates, parents and teachers are made from real Japanese given names and surnames in common use, such as Haruto Nishimura, Sakura Hirano and Hayashi-sensei. They are new pairings for stories, not characters from the series and not meant as any real person. The robot names are a different matter: Doramaru or Wanemon are coined on the Dora pattern and are not names a person would have.
