Middle Earth(ish) Namebase
Free
Description
Names are taken from multiple sources, mostly LOTR wikis including The Notion Club Archives and then put into ChatGPT. ChatGPT is asked to either put the names into a fitting format or try to come up with new names in the same style, the majority is taken directly from notionclubarchives.fandom.com and gets put into the compatible format. Bear in mind that this is not supposed to be completely similar to the style of the actual names Tolkien used, some are taken from his creations, some are taken from Tolkien-inspired or tolkien-based sources featured on the website.
There is also an alternative version with older and unsorted namebases. The Valarin and Old Entish names were taken from ChatGPT while the Melkian and Ilkorin & Doriathrin ones were put into a markov generator as there weren’t enough samples to meet the required number of words & variety.
All 34 available bases are as of the 1st of November 2023: Adûnaic, Avarin, Blackspeech, Dale, Dorwinic, Drúedain, Dunlendic, Eastron, Edainic, Entish, Goldogrin, Halethian, Haradric, Hillman, Hobbitish & Breeish, Ilkorin/Doriathrin, Khandic, Khuzdul, Lossoth, Melkian, Nandorin, Noldorin, Old Breeish & Eriadorian, Old Gondorian, Orcish, Primitive Elvish, Quenya, Rhovanian, Rohirric, Shire, Sindarin, Telerin, Valarin, Westron

Changelog
9/3 2023 Update - Fixed the Valar base to make it more similar to the real ones.
9/4 Update - Added Westron, Druédain and Lossoth to the namebase. Reworked the Númenórean names due to some feeling too far away compared to the actual ones, but the old base is still available. Sorry for all the updates, i'm just trying to fix some past mistakes I made during the making of the namesbase.
9/5 Update - Last update for a while, added Beorning base and a Rohirric base focused on town names, as the other one works better as a name generator. (9/6 Edit: So I apparently downloaded the namebase but forgot to upload it here, i'm sorry.)
9/9 Update - Changed the names for some of the bases (the titles, not the names inside) Added a base for Dunlending place names. Added spaces between more words in some of the bases to include a bigger amount of two word names. (9/11 Info Update - From this day on, I will make newer versions of some of the bases to reduce the amounts of duplicates in them. The reason for that is because from what i've seen some of the names are heavily influenced by the duplicates, and some bases have up to 9 copies per duplicate.)
9/12 Update - Added renewed Khandic, Eastron, Old Entish and Valarin bases since those had way too many duplicates which changed the way the names were made. I didn't change the Jotunn one since there's barely any source material except like three names, rendering it the least similar to how names/words in Arda usually sound. I could try again and make a new Jotunn base too, if y'all really want one.
9/13 Update - Added renewed Orcish/Blackspeech, Quenya, Sindar(in) Âdunaic and Haradric bases & updated the Westron & Lossoth & Dale & Rohirric bases so that they no longer have duplicates. Had to change the names of the renewed ones since I had to keep the old bases in case anything went wrong & if people prefer them over the new ones.
9/14 Update - Removed duplicates from the Khuzdul, Beorning, Druédain and Rohirric Place Names bases & added some new words to balance it out. Changed & "corrected" some of the base names to avoid confusion.
9/15 Update - For some reason I forgot to save the bases causing the new ones to become lost, I remade them and now they should be there. Added a Shire base for first/mid/sur names. It is very hard to balance out the Beorning names since they speak some form of Adûnaic, but there's not a single word in that variant of the language. The names for the Beorning themselves appear to be similar to Northmen names (Dalish, Rohirric names etc), so finding or blending names of that kind could work, but for now it will remain Rohirric-like.
9/16 Update - Added base for Hillmen (Rhovanion, Angmar), fixed the names of two namebases, Sindar and Westron.
9/20 Update - Added Old Gondorian (can be used as an alternative to Jotunn since the existing ones may have been based off Daenael & Old Gondorian) and Avarin bases.
9/28 Update - Added Avarin, Nandorin and Edain bases. Remade the Shire base. Removed some orcish names from the Blackspeech namebase so that as many actual Blackspeech names as possible are there.
10/4 Update - Removed invalid names from Valarin, Adûnaic, Blackspeech and Renewed Eastron namebases. Remade parts of the Rohirric Place Name base. Updated & changed parts of the Sindar base.
10/8 Update - Added more names to the Old Gondorian and Westron bases.
10/9 Update - Added Rhovanian base, which is a mix of mostly Rhovanian names and some Old Rhovanian ones. I apparently removed the base unbeknownst to myself, but now it's back.
10/12 - Added Telerin and Primitive Elvish bases. Added more words to the Westron base.
10/23 - Added Ilkorin & Doriathrin, Melkian/Melkorin, Avarin Place Names and Noldorin bases. Updated the Rhovanian, Dunlendic, Avarin (now Avarin FirstSurLast), Adûnaic, Quenya and Sindarin bases. Fixed spelling error in the Drúedain base name.
11/1 - Changed names on some bases. Added names & redid some of the namebases. Added Halethian, Dorwinian, Hobbitsh & Breeish and Old Breeish & Eriadorian bases.
