Generate Monsters, Inc. style names: the cast from Sulley and Mike Wazowski to Tylor Tuskmon, plus original scare-floor employees like Frank R. Slimeworth, nicknamed scarers, Monsters University students, Greek-letter houses such as Growl Omega Growl, and Monstropolis shops and streets.

About Monsters, Inc. names

Names in Monstropolis are office names with one monstrous touch. The first name stays plain (James, Mike, Randall, Henry, Celia, George) and the surname or the nickname carries the joke: Sullivan shortens to Sulley, Waternoose and Boggs sound damp, and Tylor Tuskmon's surname does the same job. Monsters University adds campus habits: a nickname in quotes, as in Scott "Squishy" Squibbles and "Frightening" Frank McCay, and fraternities and sororities whose Greek letters are puns, such as Oozma Kappa, Roar Omega Roar and Eta Hiss Hiss.

The list includes names from Monsters, Inc., Monsters University and Monsters at Work, given for reference and not as a full cast list. The rest are original and follow the same recipe: scare-floor employees with a middle initial, scarers with a nickname in quotes, staff named by their job, students and professors, Greek-letter houses, laugh-floor comedians, company teams, and the shops and streets of the city.

To build your own, take an ordinary first name from a staff directory, choose one feature of the monster (slime, fur, teeth, horns, tentacles, eyes or damp) and bend a plain surname around it: Slimeworth, Furrington, Hornsby, Oglesby. One joke per name is enough. The register is friendly workplace comedy, so a good name sounds like someone you could meet at the water cooler.

How to choose Monsters, Inc. names

  • Keep the first name plain. Frank, Doris, Walt and Marge work because the surname is where the monster shows, and a strange first name spoils the contrast.
  • Use one monster feature per name: slime, fur, teeth, horns, tentacles, eyes or damp. Slimeworth or Hornsby, not both in one surname.
  • For a star scarer, add a nickname in quotes that says how they work, and let the surname say what they look like: "Tiptoe" Tina Creepwell, "Howling" Hal Bristleback.
  • A middle initial makes a name read like an employee badge or a leaderboard line: Earl J. Tuskerman, Doris M. Gloopman.
  • For a Greek-letter house, put one Greek letter between a repeated monster word, the pattern of Roar Omega Roar: Growl Omega Growl, Fang Beta Fang, Tusk Tau Tusk.

Frequently asked questions

Waternoose, Celia Mae, Roz and Fungus, with George Sanderson, Needleman and Smitty on the factory floor.

The Greek houses in the film are Oozma Kappa, Roar Omega Roar, Jaws Theta Chi, Python Nu Kappa, Slugma Slugma Kappa and Eta Hiss Hiss.

How do I make up my own Monstropolis name?

Pair a plain first name with a surname built around one monster feature, as in Walter T. Furrington, Doris M. Gloopman or Megan Tuskwell. Add a middle initial for a scare-floor employee, a job title for office staff, or a nickname in quotes for a scarer near the top of the leaderboard.

Is this generator connected to Disney or Pixar?

No. It is a fan-made list with no affiliation to either company. The names from the films and the series belong to their owners and are listed for reference; the rest are original names in the same style for fan fiction, original characters, party games and classroom fun.
