Oblivion Name Generator

Oblivion takes place in Cyrodiil, the heartland of the Empire, so its names lean heavily on the Imperial race and their Roman-flavoured naming: a Latin-sounding given name plus a family name, as in Savlian Matius, Rosentia Gallenus, Adamus Phillida and Hieronymus Lex. Endings such as -us, -ius, -ia and -ina mark the men and women of the Imperial City, while a handful of grand cognomens (Umbranox, Terentius, Goldwine) belong to the counts and countesses who rule the eight cities.

Every other Tamrielic race walks Cyrodiil's roads too, and each keeps its own convention. Nords take an Old Norse-style name and often an epithet (Ulfgar Fog-Eye, Newheim the Portly, Ongar the World-Weary). Bretons carry French names like Lucien Lachance, Antoinetta Marie and Ambroise Canne. Dunmer pair Morrowind house names with sharp given names (Modryn Oreyn, Alval Uvani); Altmer and Bosmer use flowing single names (Ocato, Sinderion, Methredhel); Argonians hyphenate (Dar-Ma, Weebam-Na, Tar-Meena); Khajiit prefix an honorific (S'krivva, M'raaj-Dar, Ra'jhan); and Orcs attach gro- or gra- plus a parent's name (Agronak gro-Malog, Borba gra-Uzgash).

The list mixes real Oblivion and Shivering Isles NPC names with new names built on the same patterns, so you can pick a race first and then choose a name that fits it.
