Creating a Female Alien Name

Download Article

1. 1
   Combine unusual syllables. If you’re interested in coming up with your own female alien name, start by mixing letters that you don’t normally see paired with together. Try a blend of hard and soft sounds. For example, you can do “Zy” and “lora” to create the name “Zylora.”

   • While you want to experiment with different letter combinations, you probably want to make sure the name is still easy to read and pronounce. It’s best to keep the name between 2 to 4 syllables long.
2. 2
   Use scientific terms for inspiration. Science has a lot of terminology that’s related to the cosmos, which makes these words a great starting point for thinking of an original name for your female alien. Some good terms you can try to incorporate into a name include “nova,” “quantum,” and “nebula.”

   • To start creating a female alien name, use our Alien Name Generator!
   • Or, check out our Character Name Generator.
3. 3
   Use aliens from pop culture as inspiration. Urban legends expert Sydney Bermudez notes that some of the most popular aliens in pop culture are The Greys, Reptilians, Tall Whites, Annunaki (from Mesopotamian mythology), and Martians, while popular film and TV aliens include those in Men in Black, E.T., ALF, the Xenomorph (from Alien), and the Yautja (from Predator). So, these aliens can help serve as inspiration for additional alien names!

   • For example, you might name your alien Xena to reference the Xenomorph from the Alien franchise.
