Posh Fancy People Name Generator (Debrett's Peerage 1903)
Do you spend a lot of time coming up with silly names for your Jeeves and Wooster fanfic? Do you and your friends get together on weekends to LARP as Oscar Wilde characters? Do you just want to feel grateful that your parents didn't name you Allnutt?
Then have I got the random name generators for you!
Introducing two Debrett’s Peerage (1903) Name Generators, by yours truly!
It will give you a first name, TWO middle names (so posh), and a surname, all taken from actual once-living human beings whose names were recorded in the 1903 edition of Debrett’s Peerage
There’s a posh man version and a fancy lady version
(I also included an optional tick-box to add a title/peerage rank and/or some silly bonus info from me, but you can keep it name-only if you prefer)
here are some of my fave Actual Names that I found. now imagine how much sillier we can make this by putting it all in a blender
please note: lettice is her middle name. her surname is gore. miss lettice gore, you are an icon.
A few notes on logistics:
Names are not weighted and were entered into each category only once, regardless of how common or uncommon they were in 1903. This means you’re as likely to be named Wyndham as you are to be John, because frankly it wouldn’t be fun if every man you generated was named John
However! First name and middle names are separate lists, so your first name could be the same as one of your middle names; alternatively, both of your middle names could be the same because middle names are pulling from the same list. This should enhance the absurdity
The name ‘Napier’ appears in Debrett’s Peerage as a first name, as a middle name, AND as a surname. While it’s statistically unlikely, it is technically possible to generate the name Napier Napier Napier Napier for yourself
Spelling variations (eg, Ann vs Anne) were included as separate names
The generator is continuously being updated with more names, because there’s a whoooole lot of names recorded in Debrett’s Peerage (yes, I am manually reading and entering names from a 2,000+ page document. what of it.)
For the bonus tick-box: the titles are all real, but they may be paired with a different peerage rank than they were in actuality (e.g., if you generate Lord So-and-So, the So-and-So is a real title, but the generator might tack it onto a Earl instead of a Marquess, etc). I didn’t include any royalty, just aristocracy
For the bonus tick-box: most are a straightforward “you are a Countess” but some are me being a bit silly and having fun

omfg. i was clicking through the random name generator on Behind The Name for a chinese girl's name for a mdzs fic I'm writing and... the first name that popped up was Ju Yang.
technically the name would have to be switched bc, you know, surname first and in this the surname is Yang, so it would be Yang Ju. But, when this popped up as the random name, I lost it.
I was thinking that I should at least click on the names to see what the characters are, and if I wanted to use the name. There are, after all, so many characters, and this is for a girl's name so it's not like it's going to be the same character as a certain god's unfortunate typo. I started with the Ju, and...
From Chinese 菊 (jú) meaning "chrysanthemum" (which is usually only feminine) or 巨 (jù) meaning "big, enormous" (usually only masculine), besides other characters that are pronounced similarly.
巨 (jù) meaning "big, enormous" (usually only masculine)
That was the first thing my eyes fell on when scanning the page. I fucking lost is laughing again.

I don't heed even a third of its suggestions, but the Hemingway Editor is good for finding stupidly long run-on sentences that I otherwise skim over. It encourages me to rework some things, make them more succinct:
