For Agents

Generate random names from many themed categories such as fantasy characters, brands, screen names, and pet names.

Connect the Name Generation API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Name Generation API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

View OpenAPI Document

The Name Generation API produces random names tailored to a chosen category, covering use cases from fictional characters to product names, brands, screen names, baby names, and themed identities. Two endpoints are available: one to list supported categories and one to generate a name within a chosen category. The API is intended for game studios, novelty apps, marketing tooling, and creative workflows that need on-demand naming variety. Returns are short string lists, easy to integrate with chat UIs, design tools, and agent workflows.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Name Generation API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Character Name Generation for Games and Stories

Game developers and writers need a steady supply of names with the right thematic flavour. The Name Generation API exposes hundreds of categories and returns a fresh name per call, so studios can plug it into character creators, NPC populators, or writing assistants without building bespoke name dictionaries.

Call GET /name/categories, pick category=fantasy, then call GET /name/generate with that category five times to populate an NPC roster.

Brand and Product Name Brainstorming

Product and marketing teams use the API to seed brainstorming sessions with random brand-style names. By selecting brand or product categories the team gets dozens of candidates per session, then filters them against availability and trademark checks. The API does not rank names — it supplies raw variety.

Generate ten name candidates from category=brand and write them to a shared doc for the team to evaluate.

Screen Names and Gamertag Suggestions

Community platforms suggest screen-name candidates when a user's first choice is taken. The API returns themed alternatives that match the platform's vibe, such as gamertag-style or fantasy-style names. The integration is two calls: list categories once, then generate on demand inside the signup flow.

When a username is taken, call GET /name/generate with category=gamertag and propose three alternatives to the user.

AI Agent Naming Helper

Wire the Name Generation API into a Jentic-managed tool so agents can answer requests like 'suggest a fantasy tavern name' or 'give me ten cyberpunk handles'. The agent uses Jentic's intent search to find the right operation, then executes it without handling the bearer token. This is a low-friction creative tool for chat assistants.

Use Jentic to search 'generate a random themed name', load GET /name/generate, and execute it with the user's chosen category.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

The bearer token for Fungenerators is stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Calls go through Jentic, so the raw token never enters the agent's context window or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search 'generate a random themed name' on Jentic and receive the GET /name/generate operation along with its parameter schema, ready to execute.

Time to first call

Direct Fungenerators integration: a couple of hours for auth, retries, and category caching. Through Jentic: under 15 minutes from search to first successful call.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Alternative

Pirates API

Same vendor; pirate-themed name and content generation as a focused alternative

Pick Pirates when the agent needs only pirate-themed names plus insults and lorem ipsum.

Alternative

Shakespeare API

Same vendor; Shakespearean names, quotes, and translation

Choose Shakespeare for Elizabethan-flavoured names and prose, when general categories are too broad.

Complementary

Taunt as a service

Same vendor; pairs random names with random taunts for character profiles

Combine Taunt with Namegen when generating colourful NPCs that need a name and a signature insult.

FAQs

Specific to using Name Generation API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Name Generation API use?

It uses HTTP bearer token authentication. Through Jentic the token is held encrypted and injected at runtime, so the agent context never sees the raw secret.

Can I generate fantasy or brand names with this API?

Yes. Call GET /name/categories to discover the available category keys, then call GET /name/generate with the chosen category to get a name in that style.

What are the rate limits for the Name Generation API?

The OpenAPI spec does not declare explicit rate limits. Fungenerators applies plan-based quotas via subscription tiers on fungenerators.com, so check the tier you signed up for to see the per-minute and per-day caps.

How do I generate a random name through Jentic?

Search 'generate a random themed name' via the Jentic SDK or MCP server, load the GET /name/generate operation schema, and execute it with the category parameter. Install with pip install jentic and authenticate with your ak_* key.

How many names can I generate per call?

The generate endpoint returns a single name per call. To get a batch, loop the call N times in your client. The categories endpoint is a one-shot lookup that you can cache.

Can I add my own categories to the Name Generation API?

No. The category list is fixed by Fungenerators and only modifiable by them. You can call GET /name/categories at any time to see what is currently available.
