How to use

How to Use This List

  • You could pair a relatable protagonist name in the style of Leo, Emily, or Carter with slightly statelier council names akin to Matthias, Henry, or Gerald to signal social roles.
  • Since A (51) and L (49) open a noticeable share of Kingdom Building character names, spreading your core cast across less crowded initials can help readers keep large rosters straight.
  • Many serial fictions stay close to the 6.0-character median for recurring stewards and commanders, saving two-part names (14.0% of this sample) for formal titles or rival houses.
  • If you want coined fantasy names to blend naturally with historical ones, you might build original variations around familiar endings such as -an, -on, -ia, -en, or -ra.
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.
