Discover your magical identity in the wizarding world
Wizarding names run on three traditions that rarely mix. Pure-blood families name children after stars and constellations. Older magical families reach for Latin and Greek, usually a word that describes a virtue or a craft. Everyone else uses the ordinary British register, which is why a Hogwarts register holds Bellatrix and Susan on the same page.
The star tradition is the most visible of the three because it is the most deliberate. A family that names its children Sirius, Regulus, Andromeda and Bellatrix is claiming something about permanence: those points do not move, and neither, in theory, does the line.
First names tell you what a family hoped for. Surnames tell you where they came from. Most wizarding surnames are English place names that predate the sixteenth century: a hill, a stream, a wood, a fortified farm. Rookwood, Fawley, Selwyn and Crowhurst all name ground before they name a person.
Norman surnames mark families that arrived in 1066 and stayed in the gentry. Trade surnames mark families that worked. That difference is legible to anyone who cares to read it, which is exactly why blood-status politics in wizarding Britain fastens onto surnames rather than first names.
The generator takes your first name, your house, your Patronus and the magical career you would choose, and builds a name that fits those inputs against the traditions above. Give it nothing and it draws freely. Give it your own first name and it works from the sound and the roots of that name.
You can run it as many times as you like. Each pass weighs the inputs differently, so the same answers can produce a different name.
