Name dice

It’s excellent as I write stories and it helps a lot with characters names

So easy it's almost criminal!

This is a great app! Creating names for your characters is as easy as throwing a dice. I've got to confess - it takes a lot of the strain out of character creation - which suits me fine. Fantastic app. Does exactly what it says on the tin! I highly recommend it.

Not perfect

I liked it but it was very loud. Will not recommend to people with needs to be quiet, such as sleeping kids and so on.

Good but add a few things

This helps a lot with writing but I would add two things to an update.

1. A third dice, add another dice to represent a middle name but also make this optional just in case they don’t want a middle name.

2. Gender preference, allow us to choose what gender the names generated should be.

That’s really it add these 2 things and this would be an even better app.

Nothing special

It’s nothing special! Just a few names on a dice. It’s easier to just look up good names to be honest. There are loads of names but PLEASE add more!! It’s not really helping, the names are random! The names are all jumbled up! But thanks, some of the names are nice but it’s hard to find one you like because of the fact they are in a really random order.
