This generator will produce 10 random names suitable for detectives, police officers, or other crime-fighting individuals.

While detectives in reality can have any name, fictional portrayals often lean towards names with a certain strength or classic appeal. This isn't universal, but it's a common trope that this generator embraces. Think of iconic characters like James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, Dexter Morgan, Bruce Wayne, Veronica Mars, Dana Scully, and so on. These names tend to sound good, are easy to pronounce, and often fit a strong, capable persona. Real-life names might not always have this 'perfect' quality, so it's up to you whether you prefer names that sound strong, are more everyday realistic, or a blend of both.
