Generate Futurama-style names: the canon crew, robots and planets first, then new working robots like Forkliftbot and Overheating Doris, aliens like Bvvt, Ruler of Quorlax 3, numbered planets like Arthropod 11, starship captains, inventions like the Guilt-O-Scope and 31st-century companies, products and TV shows.

About Futurama names

Futurama names the year 3000 with a straight face. Robots are a job with -bot or -tron on the end, or a blunt human name attached to a function: Bender Bending Rodriguez is a bending unit, Calculon and Flexo carry their function in the name, and Clamps and the Crushinator need no explanation. Aliens are either starved of vowels or very grand about themselves, from Lrrr of Omicron Persei 8 and his wife Ndnd to Kif Kroker, Morbo and Zoidberg.

Humans keep tomorrow's versions of today's names, such as Turanga Leela, Zapp Brannigan, Hubert J. Farnsworth, Hermes Conrad and Amy Wong. Planets are a name plus a number: Decapod 10, Amphibios 9, Chapek 9. The Professor's inventions say what they do on the label, like the Smell-O-Scope, the What-If Machine and the Fing-Longer.

The list opens with canon characters, planets and things from the show in one common spelling each. It is a reference block, not a full index. Then come new names in the same molds: working robots by trade, robot gangsters and soap actors, alien rulers and species, numbered planets and moons, starship captains and their crews, inventions, 31st-century companies, products and TV shows, New New York citizens and sewer mutants. The new names stay clean enough for a family audience.

How to choose Futurama names

  • For a robot, start with the job. Add -bot or -tron for a standard unit (Notarybot, Laminatron), or give it a full name in the manner of Bender Bending Rodriguez, as in Welder Welding Kowalski.
  • For an alien ruler, take out the vowels and add a title and a numbered planet: Bvvt, Ruler of Quorlax 3. For a courtier or a bureaucrat, do the opposite and pile on the dignity, as in Supreme Undersecretary Glaab.
  • Name a planet with one word and one number. A creature word (Arthropod 11), a real star (Tau Ceti 5) or something dull from Earth (Foodcourt 3) all fit the show's habit.
  • An invention should explain itself. Pick one sense, feeling or nuisance and add -O-Scope, -O-Meter or -O-Matic, or name the question it answers, as in the Told-You-So Machine.
  • Play it straight. The joke in a Futurama name is that nobody in the year 3000 finds it odd, so let Captain Rex Valor sound exactly as proud as he thinks he is.

Frequently asked questions

How are robots named in Futurama?

Mostly by what they do. Bender is a bending unit, the Crushinator crushes, and Clamps of the Robot Mafia is named for the clamps he carries. The new robots in this list follow the same rule, as in Auditbot, Stapletron, The Sweepinator and Recalled Ralph.

What makes a name sound like a Futurama alien or planet?

Aliens tend to lose their vowels, as Lrrr and Ndnd do, or to sound soft and nervous like Kif Kroker. Planets take a name and a number, as in Decapod 10 and Omicron Persei 8. New names here in those styles include Mrrg of Skeptor 7, Ensign Fen Fidget and Epsilon Eridani 3.

Does this generator include canon Futurama characters?

Yes. The list starts with names from the show, from Philip J. Fry, Turanga Leela and Bender Bending Rodriguez to Planet Express and Omicron Persei 8. That block is a reference, not a full index, and crude names are left out. This site has no connection to the show or its studio.

What can I use the new names for?

Fan fiction, tabletop science fiction comedy, a robot or alien character of your own, or a pet that deserves a title. Names such as Doom-O-Meter, Comet Cab Co. and Councilman Hovermeyer also work as props and background detail in a story set in New New York.
