I collect names ✏️ send me requests!

[naminglibrary]

Welcome to the library!

I'm Lachlan! I post name inspiration for trans folks, oc makers, and anyone who is looking for cool names. Feel free to send me requests and I will do my best to find you some suitable names. I’m not an expert, not every ask will be answered, I just do this for fun.

Example requests:

"Can you make a list of names inspired by birds?"

"Can I get some gothic or winter themed names?"

"Can you post masc-leaning names from Ireland?"

Enjoy your stay!
