Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a castle name sound right?

Germanic fortress morphology: a mood or owner word (Black, Wolf, Ashen) fused to a stronghold suffix (-keep, -gard, -hold). Real castles were named the same way, Edinburgh, Neuschwanstein, Colditz.

How many combinations are there?

24 × 24 = 576, enough to dot every border of a kingdom map without repeats.

Can I use these in a published novel or game?

Yes, every combination is rolled from invented banks in a general fantasy style. As with any generator, a quick web search before publishing confirms your pick isn't already a famous one.
