About tf2 weapon names

Team Fortress 2 weapon names follow a house style Valve has kept since 2007: a definite article, then a two or three word title that is either a piece of hardware (the Scattergun, the Minigun), an in-joke (the Force-A-Nature, the Dead Ringer) or a reference to the class's homeland and personality. Scout items sound like Boston baseball and soda, Soldier items like 1940s army surplus, Demoman items like Highland pubs and Victorian swords, Heavy items like Russian nicknames for a gun you love, Engineer items like a Texas tool shed, Medic items like a German clinic that skipped ethics class, Sniper items like the outback and Spy items like a French espionage novel. Hyphens, apostrophes and exclamation points do a lot of work too.

The other kind of TF2 weapon name is the one players write on a Name Tag. Those are jokes: a Strange Minigun named Pootis Dispenser, a Dead Ringer named Spy Main Excuse, a Frying Pan with a gold-weapon title it did not earn. This generator mixes both, so you can browse Valve-style titles for a fan weapon, workshop submission or SFM project, or grab a gag line for the Name Tag sitting in your backpack.

Name Tags accept up to 40 characters, so the longer titles here are meant for lore and art rather than the in-game field.

Tips for choosing a name

  • Match the class's voice: Heavy names should sound like a pet name (Olga, Sasha's Cousin), Demoman names like a pub brawl, Medic names like a misused medical term.
  • Name Tags are limited to 40 characters and strip some symbols, so test longer names in the preview before you burn the tag.
  • The funniest custom names describe how you actually use the weapon: a Scorch Shot named Scorch Shot Spam or a Wrangler named Sentry Down Again will get chat reactions.
  • For fan-made or workshop weapons, use the Valve rhythm of The plus two stressed words (The Trench Sweeper, The Dapper Dagger) and avoid names that already exist in the game.
  • Pair a Name Tag with a Description Tag: the name is the punchline and the description is the setup, which is how most memorable Strange weapons are built.

Frequently asked questions

How do you rename a weapon in TF2?

You need a Name Tag, a tool item from the Mann Co. Store, crates or trading. Open your backpack, select the Name Tag, choose Use, pick the weapon and type the new name. The name must be 40 characters or fewer. A Description Tag works the same way for the flavor text.

What makes a TF2 weapon name sound authentic?

Authentic names usually start with The, run two or three words, and draw on the class's personality: Boston and baseball for Scout, the army for Soldier, Scotland and explosives for Demoman, Russia for Heavy, Texas for Engineer, German medicine for Medic, Australia for Sniper and France for Spy. Puns and hyphenated gags are part of the style.

Are these names already in Team Fortress 2?

No. The Valve-style titles here are original, written to sound like they belong in the game without copying existing weapons. The meme Name Tag entries reference real items, classes and community jokes, which is the point of a custom name.

Can I use these names for a Strange or Unusual weapon?

Yes. A Name Tag works on any weapon including Strange, Festive, Botkiller and Australium versions. The custom name replaces the item's default title in the kill feed and on your loadout, so shorter names read better when someone checks who killed them.
