Show HN: A modern alternative to traditional fantasy name generators

https://nomenus.io
2•qinggeng•7mo ago
As someone who spends a lot of time on world-building and TTRPGs, I've always found a gap in the tools available. Existing name generators are great at combining syllables based on rules, but they can't capture a feeling or a vibe. You can't ask them for a name that sounds like "an ancient, sunken kingdom." Nomenus is my attempt to solve this. It's an AI-powered tool built around a single prompt, allowing you to describe the name you want in plain, natural language. For example, you can ask it for names for "a grumpy but loyal dwarven blacksmith with a secret love for poetry," and it will generate results based on that specific context, often with a bit of lore attached. The site you see is the first MVP. It's built with Next.js (App Router), Supabase, and runs on Cloudflare Workers. I'm launching it here on HN to get honest feedback from a community that appreciates how products are built. I'm particularly curious about: Is the core concept genuinely more useful than traditional generators? Any thoughts on the UI/UX? What features or generator types should I prioritize next? It's completely free to use. Looking forward to hearing what you think!

This is off-topic, but I'm curious about the claims that it has "10,000+ daily active users" and "1 million names generated" yet is being launched here on HN as a first mvp. And the domain name was registered like 5 days ago.

My gut assumption is that the stats are fake, and so with that perspective I sort of assume the reviews are fake (I couldn't find anything related to any of the names except "elara vance" the romance writer).

Is this totally off the mark?

Edit: And this is just an observation of curiosity-- it could totally be that it is all fake, up until enough real stats come in, or it's fake and going to remain fake, or it's actually gained a huge amount of steam and all real. I'm just interested to know, because with that many users it would be surprising to not already know about it.
