Questions

Is the OC name generator free?

Yes. 10 runs a day without an account, 30 with a free account. Each run gives you 20 names.

Are the name meanings right?

It describes how each name sounds instead of making up a meaning. If a meaning matters to you, especially for Japanese names, check it with a real dictionary or a native speaker.

How do I get names that fit?

Pick the style closest to your character's world, add the species and a vibe like "soft and sleepy" or "cold and sharp", then run it a few times.
