How it works
- Pick a style. Wu-Tang is the page's own register — kung fu, philosophy, weather. The six rap styles below it borrow their vocabulary and their syllable window.
- Type your name. One field, first name and last name together, letters only.
- Get five names. The draw is seeded by your name, so the same input always produces the same five, in the same order.
What the name actually does depends on the style. In Wu-Tang, your first letter selects a set of adjectives and your last letter selects a set of nouns — G gives adjectives like Ghostly, Golden, Grim and Grimy, and nouns like Gambler, Ghost, General and Guardian. Every valid pair from that grid is built, shuffled by a seed taken from your name, and the first five are shown. One of them is Ghostly Gambler.
In the six rap styles the vocabulary is spread thin across the alphabet — several letters have no word at all — so the letters cannot select a bank. There your name seeds the draw instead: it picks five names out of every valid pair in that style. The guarantee is the same one that matters, which is that the same name and the same style always give the same five.
What the city line is for
The location field is the one input that does not change your name. It is printed under it on the card, in small caps, the way a city sits under a stage name on a tour poster: Ghostly Gambler over NEW YORK, NY. Two people with the same name in different cities get the same words and a different card, which is exactly how a fixed mapping should behave — the alias belongs to the name, the card belongs to the person.
It is optional. Leave it blank and the card drops the line rather than printing a placeholder. It is never sent anywhere and never used to pick words.
Seven styles, one card
The six rap styles are not decoration — each one carries its own word bank and its own syllable window, so the same name produces a different register depending on what you pick. Trap lands short and material, boom bap runs long and hands-on, drill is clipped and cold, conscious is the longest of the six, mumble is soft, g-funk is warm. Wu-Tang sits first because it is the one that maps letters to banks rather than seeding a draw.
Every style keeps the same card: name, city, one line explaining the two words, and a handle. That consistency is deliberate — the card is what people post, so it should not change shape every time you change your mind about the style.
What the words mean
Each word carries a short gloss, which is why every card shows a meaning sentence rather than just a name. The Wu-Tang sets lean on kung fu cinema, philosophy and weather — Ghostly, Ancient, Spectral, Lunar — with nouns from ranks, animals and archetypes: Abbot, Dragon, Oracle, Hermit. The combination is where the character comes from: a Ghostly Monk and a Ghostly Executioner share an adjective and read nothing alike.
The banks deliberately avoid the two things that make fan-made aliases feel cheap: member names borrowed outright, and generic hard-man vocabulary. If a pair happens to match a real artist, the generator drops it before it reaches the card.
