Dune Name Generator
Use this to shortlist Dune names quickly: generate a batch, keep the ones that land, and re-roll the rest. Results are shaped to sit comfortably alongside established Dune naming, so they suit fan fiction and tabletop play without clashing with canon. The tone filters narrow results to noble, dark, mystic, or short one-word picks when a full batch is too broad.
