Name Generators for Made-Up Shops and Cafes
Each page here names one kind of place on a made-up main street, for a story, a town-building game or a map. A press gives a name and says what kind of place it is.
More about these tools
The names are built from the words of the trade itself, and the lists under each tool say what every word means. The kinds are real ones, each with a line checked against a reference article. These are names for fiction: no page can tell whether a name is already in use by a real business.
