How to use medieval clan names

Steps to get you started in BasedLabs.

Step 1: Define Your Clan's Identity

Step 1

Define Your Clan's Identity

Establish core attributes

First, brainstorm key aspects of your clan: their origin, values (e.g., loyalty, bravery), skills (e.g., blacksmithing, archery), and any significant events. Input these characteristics into the tool's 'Description' field to guide the AI. For example: 'A clan known for their fierce warriors and unbreakable shields from the Northern mountains.'

Use precise language for the best results

Examine the initial list of generated names. Use the 'Incorporate' option to add specific words or syllables you like (e.g., 'Raven', 'Stone', '-wald'). Use the 'Exclude' function to filter out names that don't fit your vision. Add a 'Region' to the prompt, if you want a more Gaelic or Nordic influence on the names.

Step 3: Finalize and Validate

Finalize and Validate

Confirm availability and meaning

Once you have a shortlist, research the names online to ensure they aren't already in use in a way that would conflict with your project. You can also use online etymology resources to delve into the potential historical meanings of the name elements, adding another layer of depth and authenticity.
