FAQ
Are these real people’s names?
Names are composed randomly from parts—still verify nothing matches a real person you should not reference.
Can I use these in commercial fiction?
Usually yes for original fiction—for games with legal review, run your own clearance.
Why does an avatar appear?
It is a visual prompt tied to the seed—ignore it if you already have art direction.
