Oracle Name Generator

At Delphi the priestess was simply the Pythia, a title held by successive women whose personal names were rarely recorded. Sibyls were known by location (Cumaean, Erythraean, Delphic) and a handful of personal names survive, such as Herophile and Deiphobe. Named individual seers in myth include Tiresias, Cassandra, Calchas, Manto and Mopsus, while history records the Germanic seeress Veleda and the Norse völva Thorbjorg.

Strictly, an oracle is a place or institution through which a god answers questions, and by extension the person who delivers the answer. A seer has the sight personally, whether through dreams, omens or trance. A prophet speaks on behalf of a deity, often uninvited. In fiction the words overlap freely, so choose the one whose connotation fits: oracle sounds formal and consulted, seer sounds solitary, prophet sounds urgent.

Yes. The name-plus-epithet style (Kaelith Veilsinger, Garreth Nine-Omens) suits a divination wizard, oracle class, cleric of a knowledge domain or any NPC the party consults. The place-titles work well for quest hooks, since 'seek the Oracle of the Thorn Maze' gives players a destination and a mystery at once.

Historically most famous oracles were women, so feminine classical names (ending in -a, -e, -ia) read as the default, while male seers tend to be named in the Tiresias and Calchas mould. For fantasy, the epithet carries the character and the given name can go either way; the list includes male, female and deliberately ungendered titles like the Mouth of the Mountain.
