Name Forge is the workbench I built to run the naming search. It generated candidates in eight construction styles, from Latin roots with modern suffixes to invented sound shapes. It graded them for meaning, sound and trademark risk, checked their domains, and kept the rules the search learned along the way, such as which endings made a name sound like a drug. Forge FindingsForge FindingsA guided tour of five naming directions and the candidate names in each.Application and CartographCartographA flyover presentation of a naming search, with 30 finalists among some 1,300 explored names, grouped into neighborhoods of naming strategies.Application present what came out of it.

This copy runs on the bank as it stood at the end of the search: 1,232 names, 1,058 of them eliminated and 44 shortlisted, plus 119 recorded runs. You can sort, star, shortlist, group and review names, and reopen recorded runs from the Generator’s history. Anything that would call the AI stops at a notice instead. Your changes stay in your browser, and Reset puts the bank back.
