How does gender change the output?

Male rolls use a male given bank or a one-word persona bank; female rolls use a female given bank; neutral rolls use a persona bank. All three full-name forms share the same surname bank.

Why do some results have only one name?

The male one-word form returns a single stage word like "Impulse", modelling a producer or solo-act alias. The other branches add a surname for a billed, real-sounding performer name.

Can I give one character both a real name and a stage name?

Yes, and the banks make that easy. Pull a full name from a given-plus-surname branch for contracts and credits, then pull a one-word persona for the marquee. Pairing the two builds a believable performer identity.

About male musician names

How male musician names are built

Musician names are gender-aware and built from five banks. Male results use either a single stage word from a 176-entry persona bank, or a first-plus-last pairing (284 male given names plus a 328-entry surname bank). Female results pair a 280-entry given bank with the shared surname bank, and the neutral form pairs a 119-entry persona word with a surname. The surname bank is shared across all gendered branches.

Devin Kerry
Devin (from the male given bank) + Kerry (from the shared surname bank)
Iva Star
Iva (from the female given bank) + Star (from the shared surname bank)
Aubrey Lord
Aubrey (from the neutral persona bank) + Lord (from the shared surname bank)

Naming notes

The split is deliberate: the one-word branch yields stage personas ("Impulse") for producer or solo-act styling, while the given-plus-surname branches produce plausible full performer names ("Devin Kerry", "Iva Star"). The surnames lean lightly evocative ("Star", "Lord", "Neptune") so even a realistic name carries a touch of stage gloss. Use the persona pull for a DJ or producer alias and the full-name branches for billed folk or band members, building a whole roster from one generator.
