Greatest app ever

As a writer I love creating stories of times past and futures to come. But even in writing names make a big difference in separating every tale and story.
With this app I can always have a new villain hero and it saves me the hassle.

It's awesome!!

It just gave me loads of new ideas for names in my story. Juliana Webber, love it! Some of the names are a bit weird though ;)

Good app

I like this app

Cute but unreliable

It's gorgeous to look at but doesn't always work.

Name Dice

I have always been a fan of names, especially really interesting names. This app has let me find new amazing names that I would never have found otherwise. Thank you for this really amazing app.

Lame...

There aren't any fields to filter the results, for example, an option to just show female names, or just male names. You just click to roll the dice and end up with much of the same names you see in the screenshots. The screencaps and the description also led me to believe that you could filter by genre as well. Nope. It's just the same two dice and totally random results. I get that it's supposed to just give you a general name at random, but it's a little too random for me. I'm better off with random name generators online.

Rubbish!

It's a good app for people who have no brain and cannot think of names for themselves. Proper writers are inspired to create characters by real people, not virtual names on a virtual dice. Get a life, guys!

Great free app

This app is pretty awesome for free. I use it when I need inspiration.

Needs more variety

Pretty good name generator but they're almost exclusively standard European or American names. It would be nice to be able to randomly generate names from other cultures.

Also, you can't ask for it to generate middle names or two-part first names or anything else that isn't Firstname Lastname, which gets repetitive really fast. Generally, I haven't found myself resorting to this app when I need a name because it just isn't robust enough.

Useful tool for writers.

Great little app! Shake the virtual dice and you'll be given a character's name. Some won't be useful, but some will give you a sparking point for a character. This could make a fun workshop exercise.
