## Tool capabilities

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Tool ID | `name-generator` |
| Category | text-tools |
| Implementation | Registered implementation. Registration alone is not a production-quality guarantee. |
| Browser execution | Use the visible action or interactive controls. |
| Browser processing | Browser; see tool notes for network behavior. |
| HTTP API | Not callable through HTTP. |
| Browser-agent interface | run_current_tool |

### Implementation notes

Runs locally without uploads. The curated English vocabulary is small and is not a complete dictionary. Fantasy names are invented from disclosed fragments; no cultural authenticity, real-person identity or availability is implied. Letter counts exclude spaces. Generate 1 to 1000 entries; unique requests cannot exceed the filtered pool. Results are for creative use, not passwords.

### Inputs and settings

No free-text input is required. Use the file inputs and/or settings below.

| Setting | Meaning | Control type | Default | Constraints |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | Name mode | select | "fantasy" | Allowed: fantasy, nickname |
| `genre` | Fantasy genre | select | "woodland" | Allowed: woodland, arcane, celestial |
| `count` | Number of entries | number | 10 | min=1 max=1000 step=1 |
| `minLetters` | Minimum letters | number | 3 | min=1 max=40 step=1 |
| `maxLetters` | Maximum letters | number | 30 | min=1 max=40 step=1 |
| `unique` | Unique within this result | select | "true" | Allowed: true, false |

### Browser-agent workflow

1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.
2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.
3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.
4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.
5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.

Calls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.

### Planning specification

Runs locally without uploads. The curated English vocabulary is small and is not a complete dictionary. Fantasy names are invented from disclosed fragments; no cultural authenticity, real-person identity or availability is implied. Letter counts exclude spaces. Generate 1 to 1000 entries; unique requests cannot exceed the filtered pool. Results are for creative use, not passwords.

This describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.

### How to use Name generator

1. Choose Fantasy and a genre, or choose Nickname for adjective-and-noun combinations.
2. Set the number of names, letter limits and whether entries must be unique within this result.
3. Generate names, compare the filtered pool with your requested count, and download the list, report or complete source data.

## How Name generator works

Pick Fantasy with a woodland, arcane or celestial style, or Nickname, then set how many entries you want, letter limits and whether they must be unique. Happytails.ai draws names at random from a fixed list: each fantasy genre combines invented fragments into 8,192 possible names, and Nickname pairs curated English adjectives and nouns into 21,545 combinations. Letter counts ignore spaces. You can generate 1 to 1,000 entries, and a unique request cannot exceed the filtered pool.

### Before you start

Decide on the style and a realistic letter range, because fantasy names are always 10 to 18 letters long, so a maximum below 10 leaves nothing to choose from.

### A worked example

Fantasy, Woodland, 5 entries can return names such as Calan Brightbranch, Ilia Birchwood and Belara Willowbrook, drawn from a filtered pool of 8,192. Nickname with 3 to 8 letters narrows the pool to 3,043 entries, such as Rare Fox or Calm Moon.

## Invented genres, not cultural identities

Woodland, arcane and celestial modes combine self-authored fragments with themed compound surnames. They are invented creative suggestions, not verified names from a language or culture. Nicknames combine curated English adjectives and nouns. Coincidental real names and existing uses are possible.

### Understand the available pool

Each fantasy genre has 8192 distinct candidates before length filtering. Nickname mode has 21545 adjective-and-noun combinations before filtering. Letter counts include only letters, not spaces. Unique mode samples without replacement from the complete filtered pool; an excessive count is rejected instead of silently repeated or shortened.

### Inspect and keep complete results

The preview shows at most 200 names. Text, CSV and JSON exports contain every result, and the source-lists JSON contains the complete vocabulary, genre fragments and provenance. The generator samples uniformly over distinct filtered names using browser randomness. It is not a password generator.

## Common questions

### Why do I get an error that no entries match?

Your letter limits exclude every candidate. Fantasy names contain 10 to 18 letters depending on the genre, so a maximum letter limit below that range leaves an empty pool. Raise the maximum or switch to Nickname mode, where shorter combinations such as Shy Fox exist.

### Can I generate more names than the pool size?

Only if Unique is set to No. With Unique on, names are drawn without replacement, so a request larger than the filtered pool is rejected rather than shortened. With Unique off, names can repeat within the same result.

### Are these real names from a culture or language?

No. Fantasy names are built from self-authored fragments for creative use and do not represent any real language or culture. Coincidental matches with real people, brands or existing characters are possible, so check before using a name publicly.

### Can I download all the names?

Yes. The preview table shows at most 200 entries, but the text, CSV and JSON downloads contain every generated name. A separate source-lists JSON file includes the full vocabulary and fantasy fragments the generator uses.

### Can I use a generated name as a password?

No. The vocabulary is small and publicly disclosed, so a name drawn from it is easy to guess. Use a dedicated password generator for anything that needs to stay secure.
