    How it works

    This magic item name generator names an enchanted thing in the form The Object of Something: a real kind of object, from an astrolabe to a torc, and an owner, a quality or a time.

    Read the full guide

    How this magical item name generator builds a name

    Press New item name. The first half is a real object. The second is ours: an owner (the Drowned King), a quality (Unbroken Promises) or a time (the Empty Year). Tap a half to lock it, then press again.

    An artifact name generator with the objects explained

    The list under the tool says what each object is: a torc is a stiff metal neck ring, an alembic an alchemical still, a volvelle a paper wheel chart. The page gives a name only. For what an item does, use the random magic item generator.

    Tips
    • A name with an owner starts a story: who was the Drowned King, and who has the thing now?
    • Lock a second half and press to fill one hoard: a codex, a seal and a lantern of one owner.

    Questions and answers

    How do you name a magic item?

    Say what the thing is, then tie it to an owner, a quality or a moment: The Hourglass of the Third Dawn. A plain object word and one strange detail are enough.

    Does it work as a staff name generator?

    Yes. The Object row holds a staff, a wand, a scepter and a shepherd's crook. Press until one of them shows, tap it to lock it, and press again for new second halves.

    Is this also a relic name generator?

    Yes. Many objects on the list are things kept in a treasury or found in a ruin, such as a reliquary, a torc, a censer and a scarab. The second halves suit an old relic as well as a new-made thing.

    Are these names from a game or a book?

    No. The second halves were written for this page, and the names were searched as Wikipedia titles and in the page titles of fantasy fan wikis. Search a name before you publish it.

    How this list was compiled: Our own list of 121 second halves, written on 2026-10-02 to read after the word "of". No line names a real person, a real place or a character of a book, a game or a film. Screened by script that day: every list on this site for exact and near repeats; a rude-word list; every name the two rows can spell, with and without "The", against every page title of 16 fantasy fan wikis; and every name the two rows can spell as an English Wikipedia page title, and every second half on its own, with and without "The" (thirteen that matched the title of a song, a film or a character were rewritten). 1 candidate was cut (1 close to a line on another list of this site). No list of fiction is complete, so search a name before you publish it. Licence: own work
