About

Generate fairy, sprite, pixie, and fae court names across three traditions. The Seelie/light court produces bright, melodic, flower-themed names (Aelinda, Honeyfern, Primrose) suited to benevolent fae, woodland nymphs, and fairy godparents. The Unseelie/dark court offers sharper, more dangerous names (Hemlocka, Wormwood, Bonelace) for tricksters, banshees, redcaps, and changelings. Woodland names use compound nature elements (Mosswing, Bramblefoot, Acornheart) and work for any forest-dwelling fae, brownies, or pixies. Pick a gender to filter; both works fine since many fairy names are unisex by tradition. Useful for D&D feywild campaigns, Changeling: The Lost, original fantasy fiction, and tabletop NPCs.

FAQ

What is the Seelie vs Unseelie court?
In Celtic folklore, the Seelie Court is the "blessed" or light court of fairies — more benevolent though still mischievous. The Unseelie Court is the "unblessed" or dark court — malevolent, dangerous, often associated with winter, decay, and the Wild Hunt. Most fantasy settings (D&D, Changeling, Dresden Files) preserve this divide.
Why are some fairy names so dark?
The Unseelie tradition leans into thorns, poison, hollow places, and bone. Names like "Witherose" and "Sablecourt" fit fae who are dangerous, predatory, or aligned with the Wild Hunt.
Do woodland names need a gender?
No — woodland compound names like Mosswing and Bramblefoot are gender-neutral by tradition. The gender filter only affects Seelie and Unseelie name pools.
Can I use these for fairy character bonds (Changeling) or D&D feywild?
Yes. The naming patterns match common fae conventions across modern fantasy. Pair with the Wizard or God generators if you need an archfey patron.
