Questions and answers
What makes a name sound like science fiction?
Short first names, surnames built from where someone was born, and a number tag here and there. Add a job and a ship, and the line reads like a crew list.
Is this a random scifi name generator?
Yes. Each press draws all four parts at random from the lists under the tool. Tap any part to lock it and the next press changes only the rest.
Are the space jobs real?
Some are. Commander, pilot, mission specialist, payload specialist, flight engineer, flight surgeon and flight director are real roles, each checked against Wikipedia. Jobs such as hull gardener are invented, and their lines say so.
Are these names from a film, a show or a game?
No. The names were written for this page, and each first name and surname was searched as a page title on science-fiction fan wikis. A full name was not searched, so check yours before you publish it.
