Enter your own name and see what the wizarding world would call you
Type your first name into the field above and the generator works from it rather than around it. It reads the sound and the roots of what you give it, then finds the wizarding name that sits closest.
The rest of the fields steer it. Your house sets the register. Your Patronus and your chosen magical career pull the result toward one tradition or another.
Most ordinary names already carry a meaning that a wizarding name can pick up. Claire is Latin clarus, bright. Owen is Welsh, from the same root as Eugene, well born. Sophie is Greek sophia, wisdom, which puts you in Ravenclaw territory before the Sorting Hat opens its mouth.
If your own name means something fierce, the generator will tend toward Gryffindor and Slytherin roots. If it means something growing or steady, it will tend toward Hufflepuff.

No. Leave the field empty and the generator draws freely. Entering your own name is what makes the result yours rather than random.
Not usually. Each pass weighs the inputs differently, so the same answers can produce a different name. Run it again if the first one does not fit.
