Dungeon Crawler & Dungeon Core Character Names List

· Last checked 2026-11-13 · How this page was made

This Dungeon Crawler & Dungeon Core names list gathers 240 recurring character names from the first 15 chapters of 61 Royal Road books. You will spot grounded everyday picks like Jay, Miles, Amelia, and Ryan alongside fantasy-leaning names such as Alfric, Arkk, Mizuki, and Mize. Because these names belong to existing stories, the list works well as a way to study genre naming habits rather than a pool of names to reuse as-is.

How to use

How to Use This List

  • You could aim for brisk names around 5 letters so serial readers following fast-paced dungeon floors can track your cast with ease.
  • You could pair everyday names (similar to Miles, Hazel, or Ryan) with sharper coined sounds (in the vein of Alfric or Arkk) to mark the difference between characters.
  • When outlining a large party, consider checking your starting letters—since M (35) and A (31) show up often across the genre, varying initials can help characters stay visually distinct on the page.
  • If you want names that fit familiar genre rhythms without copying existing characters, you might combine popular endings like -ia, -an, or -na with fresh root syllables.
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.
