Yaelokre Name Generator

Yaelokre is the folk storybook project created by the artist Keath, and its songs, from Harpy Hare to the rest of the Hayfields EP, are framed as tales performed by the Larks: a troupe of masked travelling players who sing about hares, harvests, lanterns and loss. The fandom took to drawing its own Larks almost immediately, and a good Yaelokre name has to fit that world, which is part medieval English village, part children's picture book, and a little bit uncanny.

The register is pastoral and slightly old. First names come from hedgerow plants (Tansy, Sorrel, Teasel, Bryony), from old English diminutives (Maudie, Dorrit, Wilmot, Gilly) or from household things (Wicket, Thimble, Tallow, Quill). Surnames read like places or tools a villager would know: Thornmallow, Fennhollow, Lanternwick, Puddlemoss. Single names work too, because a Lark is often known only as Hobb the Tinker or Wren of the Hollow Hill, with the mask doing the rest.

This list mixes all of those layers: full storybook names, single given names and surnames you can recombine, occupational and mask epithets, troupe names for your own company of players, and hamlets, meres and lanes to set the story in. Nothing here is lifted from the songs, so your OC will not collide with canon.
