How to Choose a Perfect Name for a Cyberpunk 2077 Character?
A perfect Cyberpunk 2077 name pairs a real first name with a street handle or a family surname. Night City is a melting pot, so names from many cultures fit, such as Jackie Welles, Judy Alvarez, and Goro Takemura. Many mercs also earn a street handle, as Johnny Silverhand did with his chrome arm. The Cyberpunk Wiki Night City page covers the districts and gangs that shape the people of the city. The table below shows each origin with a canon character and an example name.
| Origin | Canon Character | Example Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| American | River Ward | Jett Chromejaw | Black gemstone, the chrome jaw |
| Latino | Judy Alvarez | Ramon Herrera | Wise protector, of the forge |
| Japanese | Goro Takemura | Kaito Morikawa | Sea flight, of the forest river |
| Slavic | Misty Olszewski | Zora Glitchbyte | Dawn, the glitch byte |
4 Quick Tips for Naming a Cyberpunk 2077 Character
- Mix cultures. Night City draws people from all over the world, so a Japanese first name with a Latino surname still fits.
- Earn a handle. A street handle like Silverhand tells others what a merc is known for, such as chrome, code, or a blade.
- Keep it short for the street. Short names like Jackie, Judy, and V are quick to shout in a firefight.
- Skip canon names. Names like Johnny Silverhand and Judy Alvarez belong to known characters, so the generator leaves them out.
