Generate TVD names for original characters in the style of The Vampire Diaries, The Originals and Legacies: new members of canon families like Luca Salvatore, Astrid Mikaelson and Bilyana Petrova, plus new founding families, witches, wolf packs and covens.

About Vampire Diaries names

TVD names fall into a few clear styles, and this list follows them for original characters in fan fiction and roleplay across The Vampire Diaries, The Originals and Legacies. The largest share gives new first names to the families fans already know, so you will find Luca Salvatore, Eleanor Gilbert, Hunter Lockwood, Tessa Forbes and Odessa Bennett, all written as new characters rather than taken from the shows. New founding families such as the Hargroves and Pembrokes sit beside them for stories that need a fresh name on the Founders' Council.

In the story the Original family began as Vikings, so the Mikaelson entries use attested Norse names like Astrid, Sigurd and Ragnhild, and a few Old World patronymics follow the same pattern. The Petrova line is Bulgarian, and Bulgarian surnames change with gender: a woman is Petrova and a man is Petrov, which the list respects (Bilyana Petrova, Kaloyan Petrov).

New Orleans entries pair French given names with Louisiana surnames for Quarter witches and bayou wolves, and coven and pack names cover the groups. Plain first names and surnames are mixed in so you can build your own combination.

How to choose Vampire Diaries names

Decide the family first. A Salvatore or Lockwood ties your character to Mystic Falls history, a Mikaelson ties them to the thousand-year-old Original family, and a new founding family like Whitlow or Thornhill leaves you free of canon.
Match the first name to the character's birth era. A vampire turned in 1864 would be an Adelaide or an Ezekiel, not a Kinsley, and an Original-era character needs a Norse name such as Gudrun or Halvard.
Keep Bulgarian surnames gendered. A daughter of the Petrov family is Petrova, and the same rule gives Koleva and Kolev or Todorova and Todorov.
Vampires in this setting often take a new, anglicized name over a long life. Pair an Old World entry such as Isabeau de Montclair with a modern alias for present-day scenes.
For a group, use the coven and pack names. The Libra Coven or The Blue Ridge Pack gives a roleplay server an instant faction.

Frequently asked questions

What does TVD stand for?

TVD is the fan abbreviation for The Vampire Diaries. Fans often use it for the whole universe, which includes the spin-offs The Originals and Legacies, and this generator covers the naming styles of all three.

Are these canon character names?

They are written as original characters. The surnames Salvatore, Mikaelson, Gilbert, Bennett, Lockwood, Forbes and Petrova come from the shows, as do Fell, Donovan, Parker, Saltzman, St. John and the New Orleans families, but they are paired with new first names: Dante Salvatore, Ingrid Mikaelson and Clara Gilbert are meant as characters for your own stories. Other entries use families written for this list, such as Hargrove and Pembroke. The list was not compared with a full cast list, so a minor character may share a name by chance.

How do I name a TVD original character?

Pick a species and a family, then a first name from the right era. A new witch might be Temperance Bennett or Odile Claire, a werewolf Garrett Lockwood or Clay Kenner, and a founding-family human Cecilia Pembroke.

Why is it Petrova for women and Petrov for men?

Bulgarian surnames take a feminine ending, so the daughters of a Petrov are Petrova. The list keeps that rule for every Bulgarian entry, for example Snezhana Petrova and Plamen Petrov.
