How to Choose a Perfect Name for a Final Fantasy XIV Character?
A perfect FFXIV name follows the official naming rules of your character's race and clan. Final Fantasy XIV has 8 playable races, and each race has 2 clans with their own naming customs. Miqo'te Seekers of the Sun start each forename with a tribe letter and an apostrophe, as in Y'shtola. Lalafell names use rhyming syllables, a pattern set out in the official Lalafell naming conventions. Sea Wolf Roegadyn join 2 Roegadyn words, so Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn means sea woman, daughter of blue fish. Every name also fits the FFXIV length rule: 2 to 15 characters per name and 20 in total. The table below shows the naming rule of all 16 clans, with a generated example for each.

4 Quick Tips for Naming Your Final Fantasy XIV Character
- Pick the clan before the name. Each clan has its own rule, so a Raen suits Hayate Hatamoto, and a Xaela suits Baatar Avagnar.
- Follow the gender rule. A Seeker man takes the title Tia or Nunh, and a Seeker woman takes her father's name, as in U'mirhai Ndaka.
- Check the length. FFXIV allows 15 characters per name and 20 in total. Every name in this generator fits, such as Bloewyb Lihtswerdwyn.
- Skip canon names. Names like Y'shtola, Thancred, and Tataru Taru belong to main characters, so the generator leaves them out.
