About Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy names

Names in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which began as a BBC radio comedy in 1978 and grew into a series of novels, work on contrast. An alien gets a short, lumpy first name and a long surname that sounds like furniture falling downstairs (Zaphod Beeblebrox in the series, Voss Quibblethrax here), or one unbroken sound such as Grandlewumph. A being of unimaginable power, meanwhile, is called something like Brenda, Devourer of Moons.

The rest of the galaxy is run by officials and staffed by machines. An epithet does the work of a biography (Thrimble the Mildly Inconvenienced), a rank and a department pin a bureaucrat in place (Sub-Prefect Nurl of Filing), and every appliance has a mood, from Mopely, the Disappointed Autopilot to The Relentlessly Chirpy Kettle. About two thirds of the list is characters and peoples. The remainder is planets, firms and publishers, restaurants and bars, and ships with dry names like Starship Mild Regret.

This is a fan-made list written in the manner of the series and is not connected with its author's estate or with any publisher or broadcaster. Of the 1,000 names, 25 come from the radio series and the novels as anchors, among them Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian and Slartibartfast; the FAQ lists them all. The rest are new.

How to choose Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy names

  • Pair the name with the wrong scale. A world-ending entity is funnier as Derek, Eater of Suns, and a filing clerk is funnier with a title longer than the job.
  • For an alien double name, keep the first name to one syllable and let the surname sprawl, as in Zim Garblethorpe. Say it aloud: if it comes out easily, it is probably not lumpy enough.
  • Give every official a department. Assessor Plim of Outstanding Fines tells your players what the scene will be about before the character speaks.
  • At the table, name machines by their mood first and their job second, so the group remembers Weary Wendell, Night Watch Android without notes.
  • Keep the 25 canon names for fan fiction and private games. For anything you plan to publish, start from one of the new names and a setting of your own.

Frequently asked questions

Which names in this list are from the series itself?

Twenty-five: Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian, Marvin, Slartibartfast, Deep Thought, Eddie, Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz, Gag Halfrunt, Fenchurch, Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged, Agrajag, Oolon Colluphid, Majikthise, Vroomfondel, Lunkwill, Colin, Zarniwoop, Roosta, Max Quordlepleen, Wonko the Sane, Hactar, Yooden Vranx and Hig Hurtenflurst. The other names were drafted for this page in the same manner. If one of them happens to match a minor character, that is a coincidence.

How do alien names in the Hitchhiker's Guide style work?

Most are built from sounds rather than meanings: a blunt first name of one or two syllables, then a surname with more consonants than it needs, as in Quorl Hendlebrast or Hib Marnwollow. Others are one long word, such as Hoddlebartquist. The joke is that the owner treats the name as perfectly ordinary.

Why are some of the mightiest beings called Keith or Maureen?

Deadpan is the house style of the series, where a ship's computer answers to Eddie. This list carries the idea up the scale to cosmic entities, which gives Keith, a Vast and Ancient Intellect and Maureen, Mother of Comets. The plainer the first name, the better the title after it works.

Can I use these names in my own stories or games?

The new names are meant for fan fiction, tabletop one-shots, quiz teams and pets. The 25 canon names belong to the series, so keep them for fan works. If you plan to publish, remember that the setting is another author's, and place your characters in a galaxy of your own.
