ForeverHelperHuman names for WoW Forever
About Human names
Human names should sound like someone you could meet on the road to Goldshire: grounded, familiar and a little heroic. The generator aims for first names that feel old-fashioned without being dusty, and surnames that sound like a family with land, a trade or a reputation behind it.
Your class and spec steer what a name means, so a paladin reads differently from a warlock even when both come from the same kingdom.
Human lore names to avoid
Kings and heroes of the human kingdoms may be refused in the game: Anduin, Varian, Jaina, Uther, Tirion, Bolvar, Turalyon, Khadgar and Medivh, plus the family names Wrynn, Menethil, Proudmoore and Greymane. Type a name into “Keep a name you already have” to check it.
WoW Forever name rules
- Every character needs a first name and a surname.
- Each name can be at most 12 letters.
- Only the full name has to be unique.
- Names that match Warcraft characters, titles or restricted words may be rejected in-game.
- Even a name the game accepts can be refused later: Blizzard can make you rename a character whose name breaks its naming policy.
These follow the usual WoW rules:
- Accented letters like ë or é are allowed and count as one letter.
- No apostrophes, hyphens, spaces or digits.
- At least 2 letters per name.
- No three of the same letter in a row.
This site can't check whether a name is taken.
