What makes a name sound cyberpunk

In a cyberpunk city everyone has two names: the one on the corporate ID and the one the street knows. Handles are short and sharp, often borrowed from tech, weapons or slang (Vex, Glitch, Static), while real names mix languages, because megacities do: Kuroda, Okafor, Reyes, Novak. Gangs and corps get names that sound like brands or threats. Describe your character's role and their city, and the generator writes handles and names that fit the neon.

5 tips for naming a cyberpunk character

  1. Give them two names

    A handle for the street and a legal name for the corps. Vex and Valentina Kuroda are the same person on different sides of the city.

  2. Mix languages

    Megacities are global. A Japanese surname with a Spanish first name, or a Nigerian surname with a Slavic one, sounds like the future.

  3. Keep the handle short

    One word or one syllable: Vex, Static, Hex, Rook. Handles are shouted over gunfire and typed in a hurry.

  4. Let the role show

    Netrunners sound digital (Null, Ping), solos sound like weapons (Razor, Kestrel), fixers sound like business (Mr. Lucky, Dex).

  5. Avoid real brands

    Use corp names that sound real but are not. Arasaka and Militech belong to Cyberpunk 2077; your city deserves its own.
