Homestuck Name Generator

Homestuck's naming rules are strict enough that fans can spot a fake at a glance. The eight human kids all have four-letter first names (John, Rose, Dave, Jade, Jane, Jake, Roxy, Dirk) with ordinary Anglo surnames, and the Alpha kids share surnames with the Beta guardians. Alternian trolls have exactly six-letter first names and six-letter surnames (Karkat Vantas, Kanaya Maryam, Vriska Serket), and the surnames often nod at zodiac mythology or history: Megido echoes Megiddo, Serket is an Egyptian scorpion goddess, Zahhak is a Persian dragon-king. Trolls also share ancestor names across the pre-Scratch and post-Scratch sessions.

Carapacians on Prospit and Derse go by two-word titles built from an adjective and a noun, abbreviated to initials (Wayward Vagabond, WV; Peregrine Mendicant, PM), while the Midnight Crew and the Felt use gambling and pool-hall names (Spades Slick, Diamonds Droog, Snowman, Crowbar). Sprites take the prototyped thing's name plus the suffix -sprite, and double prototypings blend two names, giving mashups like Davepetasprite^2 and Erisolsprite.

This generator covers all four systems, mixing canon names for reference with original fantroll, fankid, carapacian, and lusus names that follow the same patterns. Pick the category that fits your character and check the letter count.
