MHA Hero Name Generator

In My Hero Academia, a hero name is a brand. Students at U.A. pick theirs during the Hero Name assignment with Midnight, and the best ones follow the same logic: describe the quirk with a pun or a portmanteau in English (Uravity for gravity plus Uraraka, Chargebolt for electricity, Creati for creation), or use a single confident word that works on a billboard (Endeavor, Hawks, Mirko). Almost every canon name is short, easy to chant from a crowd, and instantly tells the public what the hero does.

The pattern to notice is that Japanese characters take English-language hero names, because in-universe those sound flashy and modern. Puns on the character's real name are common too, such as Froppy for Tsuyu Asui, Tentacole for Shoji, and Red Riot honoring Crimson Riot. Names that are pure power words (Fire Storm, Shadow Walker) feel like generic Western superheroes rather than MHA, so this list leans on the wordplay approach instead.

When naming your OC, decide the quirk first, then look for a word that describes its effect, its side effect, or the object it resembles. A gravity quirk can become Gravitas, a sound quirk can become Decibel, and a copy quirk can become Xerox. Two-word names should still be tight enough to fit on a costume.
