About maze runner names
Ordinary given names fill this list, from "Edwin" and "Dorothy" to casual diminutives like "Thommie". Plainness is the asset in a story inspired by The Maze Runner, where a teenager wakes with nothing but a single name and no idea who gave it. Pick a slightly dated one to hint that someone chose it deliberately.
How maze runner names are built
This generator returns single names in the style of The Maze Runner and is an unaffiliated fan tool, not official. It is a word-bank generator: it picks one whole entry from a gendered bank (166 male, 129 female) and returns it unaltered. Worked outputs from the bank include Edwin, Eva, and Mary.

Naming notes
Since this is a direct pick rather than an assembly, there is no seam or synthesis; the gender simply chooses which bank to draw from, and the entries read as ordinary contemporary forenames. Use these for original Glader-style characters in a Maze Runner-flavoured story rather than as canon figures.
