Female Anime Name Generator

Most given names here (Akari, Hiyori, Tsumugi, Nanami, Sayaka) are real, common Japanese girls' names, and many surnames are real too. Some surnames such as Kagetsu, Amatsuka or Hoshina are the kind of meaning-heavy kanji compounds manga authors invent for atmosphere. The isekai-style names are intentionally European, and the single-word idol names are stage names rather than legal ones.

Japanese order is family name first (Tsukino Usagi), but English dubs, subtitles and fan wikis almost always use given name first. For an original character aimed at English-speaking readers, write the given name first and stay consistent; if the story is set in Japan and you want authenticity, use Japanese order everywhere, including on character sheets.

Genki girls and childhood friends get bouncy, repeated or -ka/-na names (Momo, Hinata, Ichika). Kuudere and ojou-sama types take longer, more formal names (Seraphine, Tsukuyo, Elianora). Delinquents, rivals and antagonists sound sharper (Ryoko, Kirari, Satsuki). Magical girls and idols often have nature or light imagery in either name: Hoshi (star), Hikari (light), Sakura, Aoi.

Yes. The original names are free to use in fiction, games, art and streaming personas. The canon characters are included for reference and inspiration; borrow their sound and structure rather than the exact name if you are building something you intend to publish or trademark.
