Naming a Child of Stone

To craft an authentic Shin name, consider the unique aspects of their isolated culture:

  • Does the name have the symmetrical, vowel-rich sound common in Shinovar?
  • Should it reflect a humble farmer or one of the rare individuals who ventures out?
  • How does the name's rhythm evoke a sense of peace and connection to the land?
  • Is the name simple, as is the Shin way of life?
  • Could the name's meaning relate to plants, soil, or the unusual Shin environment?

Shin Name FAQs

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about Shin names:

How does the Shin Name Generator work?

The generator combines phonetic elements and naming structures found among the Shin people in the Stormlight Archive, creating names that are both new and culturally appropriate for Shinovar.

What are Shin names typically like?

Shin names are very distinct from other Rosharan names. They tend to be highly symmetrical, use a lot of vowels, and have a softer, more melodic sound, such as 'Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar'.

Are these names from the Stormlight Archive books?

While inspired by Brandon Sanderson's world, these names are randomly generated. They are designed to fit the Shin culture, making them perfect for roleplaying games or fan fiction.

How many names can I generate?

You can generate an unlimited number of Shin names. Keep clicking until the perfect name for your character reveals itself.

How do I save the names I like?
