Sci-Fi Hero Name Generator
Cyberpunk call signs and space-opera designations for futuristic characters, pilots and augmented operatives.
How futuristic names differ
Science fiction names are designations more often than nicknames. Vector Zero. Relay. Exoform Nine. Protocol. The numbering and the hardware vocabulary imply a system that produced the character, which is usually the point of the genre.
Cyberpunk skews toward street handles — short, punchy, slightly commercial, like a product name someone adopted: Neon, Chrome, Static, Uplink. Space opera skews toward navigation and light: Lodestar, Meridian, Quasar, Horizon.
A quick test: if the name would look right stencilled on the side of a ship or printed on an ID badge, it belongs in this genre.
