Guild names people want under their character

A guild name is worn by every member, on every character, in every city and battleground. That is why the good ones are short, readable at a glance and say something about the people behind them. A progression raid team wants a name that sounds like it clears content. A social guild wants a name that makes a stranger smile in the group finder. The same name rarely does both.

Say what the guild is for and where it plays: a Horde mythic raiding guild, a Free Company for crafters in FFXIV, a WvW guild in Guild Wars 2, a thieves' guild for your D&D city. You get names in that register, a short tag where the game uses one, and a line on why each fits.

  • Fits the nameplate

    World of Warcraft allows 24 characters for a guild name and other games set their own limits. Suggestions stay short, avoid special characters and read cleanly above a character's head.

  • Serious, social or silly

    Ask for a name that sounds like a world-first contender, a cosy crafting circle or a pun your raid leader will regret. The tone follows the brief instead of defaulting to dark and edgy.

  • Guilds for tabletop worlds too

    Need a thieves' guild, a mages' college, a merchant league or a mercenary company for a campaign? Describe the city and the trade and get names that belong in that setting.

5 tips for naming a guild

  1. Say it out loud in voice chat

    You will say the name on Discord every raid night. If it is hard to pronounce or easy to mishear, people will shorten it to something you did not choose. Two to four words that roll off the tongue win.

  2. Check the limit and the tag

    Games cap the length of guild names and many show a short tag next to each member. Check the limit in your game before you fall for a long name, and make sure the initials do not spell something you would rather not wear.

  3. Match the name to how you play

    A name like Mythic Or Bust sets an expectation of hard progression. Tea and Wipes tells recruits you are relaxed about it. Recruits read the name before the description, so let it filter for you.

  4. Avoid names that date quickly

    A reference to this season's boss or this month's meme is fun for six weeks. Guilds that last years tend to have names that would have worked in any expansion.

  5. Search the realm first

    Guild names are unique per realm or server in most games. Look the name up in the guild finder or on a community site before you gather signatures, and have a second choice ready.

Frequently asked questions

Decide what the guild is for, then pick a tone. A progression guild suits something short and confident, such as Last Pull or Iron Resolve. A social guild suits humour or warmth, such as Tea and Wipes. Keep it to two to four words, say it aloud, and check that it is free on your realm.

World of Warcraft guild names can be up to 24 characters, letters and spaces only. Other games use different limits and some add a separate short tag, so check the creation screen in your game before settling on a long name.

In most MMOs yes, but usually as a paid service or with a cooldown, and only the guild leader can do it. It is cheaper to spend ten more minutes choosing a name everyone likes than to rename the guild after the first roster argument.

Puns on game mechanics and shared pain are safe and land well: Stands in Fire, Wipe on Trash, Out of Mana. Names that rely on insults, slurs or real-world politics break the naming policy of every major MMO and can be force-renamed.

Yes. Describe the organisation, such as a thieves' guild in a port city or a mercenary company for hire, and the generator returns names with the feel of a place in your world rather than a server roster.

They overlap, but clans in shooters usually need a very short tag and a punchy one-word name, while MMO guild names can be a phrase. If you are naming a competitive team, the clan name generator is the better fit.
