Naming tips
Making a halfling feel like a friend
Keep it warm and soft
Halfling names sound friendly and a little playful. A gentle first name plus a homely surname does most of the work.
Use register for the surname
Set Register to Homestead for a place-name like Honeybrook, Family for a big clan such as of the Goodbarrels, or Old for an heirloom form.
Refine, don't restart
Found a first name you love but the wrong surname? Choose it, hit Refine, lock the first name and shuffle the rest.

Questions
Halfling name generator FAQ
Yes. You can generate unlimited halfling names for free, with no sign-up. Copy or save any you like and use them however you want.
Absolutely. The names suit halfling player characters and NPCs in D&D 5e, Pathfinder and most cosy fantasy settings. Pick a kind, generate, and drop your favourite onto the character sheet.
Each kind is a flavour rather than a strict rule. Meadow leans on farms and flowers, River on the easygoing bank folk, Wander on tinkers and the road, and Burrow on snug hill-hole homebodies. Leave it on Any for a mix, or pick one to match your village.
Open Options and set Gender to Masculine or Feminine. Leaving it on Neutral gives a mix of both. First names are drawn from the matching pool for the kind you chose.
Register changes the kind of surname you get. Common gives a plain family name, Homestead adds a homely place-name like Honeybrook, Family adds a big family such as of the Goodbarrels, and Old uses older forms. Leave it on Any for a spread.
Surnames are included by default. Turn them off in Options for first names only, or use Refine on a chosen name to swap just the surname while keeping the first name.
Yes, for stories, comics, video games, streams and other creative projects. Generated names are not trademarked here, but for a major commercial title it is sensible to do a quick search to make sure your chosen name is not already strongly associated with something else.
No. Each batch is checked against the names you have already seen this visit, so you can generate again and again without repeats. Use Previous to step back to an earlier batch.
