How to use

How to Use This List

  • You could align your naming palette with your story premise—for example, contrasting an everyday name like Alex, Sarah, or Robert with sect peers like Lin, Hong, or Xiulan in a reincarnation serial.
  • You could keep core cast names near the 6-letter median of this sample so readers can tell characters apart quickly during fast-paced tournament or sect arcs.
  • When designing rival clans or neighboring empires, you might group characters by shared endings—such as pairing -an, -ng, and -ao sounds in a central realm while giving -us or -on endings to an outside faction.
  • Consider using these 240 entries as phonetic building blocks rather than direct picks; shifting an initial among common starters like S, L, or C lets you echo familiar genre cadences while keeping your cast original.
Method

How We Got the Data

Names are drawn from 61 books in Royal Road within the Maliang Writer library (captured 2026-10-31/2026-11-09). Recurring proper nouns in the first 15 chapters of each book were classified in context by a model as person, place, or other, verified by script against the source text, and ranked by frequency. In a spot check of 570 entries, 2.1% were nicknames, titles or non-name terms; those were removed, and others may remain. Names belong to their original works and are shown here to illustrate genre naming conventions; avoid reusing distinctive protagonist names directly.
