This name generator will conjure 10 random names for Imps and similar small, mischievous demonic beings.

Imps are often depicted as unattractive creatures with a penchant for mischief. Originally, their folklore was quite similar to that of fairies, and they weren't inherently associated with evil. Over time, however, as fairies became increasingly linked with good, imps took on more sinister connotations. They were sometimes seen as lesser goblins (which were also considered demonic in some traditions), but today, while goblins are often portrayed as non-demonic, imps generally retain their infernal ties. Imps were said to seek human companionship through tricks and playful (often annoying) behavior, largely due to their inherent loneliness, though this often had the opposite effect. Witches and warlocks, however, sometimes saw value in these minor demons, likely strengthening their association with evil.

Imp names tend to be lighter and more playful-sounding than those of larger demons, though this varies greatly across different fictional works. This generator offers a wide range of names, most of which follow these lighter yet harsh tones, rather than the darker, more powerful sounds typical of stronger demons. Many names also aim for that otherworldly, sometimes difficult-to-pronounce quality often found in demonic nomenclature.
