Cyberpunk Name Generator

How cyberpunk names are built

Cyberpunk names come from two worlds: the legal name on a corporate contract and the handle used on the street. In a city that tracks every record, a real name is a liability, so people go by something they earned from a habit, a modification, a first job or a bad night. Handles are short, hard and a little theatrical: Chromesaint, Static Wolf, Gutter Rat. Corporate names are the opposite, built to look good on a letterhead. This generator offers street handles, with the legal name behind some of them, corporate names with a title and a company, and hacker handles made from technical words.

Keeping the sprawl consistent

Decide how a handle is earned and let the world enforce it. If handles come from a first job or a first mistake, nobody picks their own, and a character who insists on a flattering one is quickly corrected. Keep handles short enough to shout across a bar, and keep a legal name in reserve for a moment of trust or betrayal. Use the same brand logic for the corporations: one or two syllables from a naming agency, plus a plain business word. And check your final choice, because many cyberpunk stories share vocabulary.
