Your AI Keeps Naming Your Characters the Same 94 Names.

Here's every one of them — so you never publish one by accident.

You asked your AI for a character name.

It gave you Nora. Or Sloane. Or Theo.

Maybe Elara, if you're writing fantasy.

Here's the thing: it gave those exact names to thousands of other authors this week. And last week. And the week before that.

AI tools pull from the same training data, which means they reach for the same names — over and over — until those names stop feeling like characters and start feeling like placeholders.

Readers notice. Even when they can't name why a book feels generic, they feel it.

The AI Name Graveyard is a free guide built from 400+ novel planning packages and 923 character names. It shows you exactly which names are overworked, why AI keeps defaulting to them, and what to use instead.

WHAT'S INSIDE

✦ The 52 surnames to retire (including the ones that sound distinctive but aren't)

✦ The 42 first names your AI reaches for on autopilot

✦ Fresh name alternatives sorted by genre — contemporary romance, suspense, cozy mystery, historical, and fantasy

✦ A copy-and-paste naming prompt that steers AI away from the graveyard entirely

It's free. It's specific. And it'll change how you use AI for character names from this point forward.
