FAQ
Are these real people’s names?
No. They’re procedurally built from syllable patterns for mockups, tests, and demos — not pulled from a fixed list of real people. Don’t use them to impersonate anyone.
How are names generated?
GenShelf combines origin-inspired syllables (starts, middles, endings) with secure random picks in your browser. That creates far more unique names and fewer repeats than a hard-coded name list.
Can I choose a cultural style?
Yes. Pick Mixed or a style like English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Nordic, or Japanese-inspired syllable banks.
Can I generate many names at once?
Yes. Set the count up to 50, then copy one, copy all, or download a .txt file.
Is anything saved?
No. Names are generated in your browser and are not stored by GenShelf.
