Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Detailed answers about our AI engines, usage rights, and specific naming scenarios.

🚀 Getting Started (General)

Is cedarvault.cloud truly free?+

Yes. You can generate unlimited names for businesses, games, or social media without paying a dime. We support the platform via minimal, non-intrusive advertising.

Do I need to register an account?+

No. We believe in zero friction. You can start using Atlas, Nova, and Orion immediately without giving us your email or creating a login.

Is there a daily limit on generation?+

There are no hard limits for normal human use. You can brainstorm for hours. However, automated scraping bots may be rate-limited to protect our server performance.

Does it work on mobile?+

Absolutely. The site is fully responsive. Whether you are brainstorming on an iPhone on the bus or a desktop in the office, the experience is seamless.

Can I save my favorite names?+

Currently, we recommend copying your favorite names to a local document. A "Favorites" feature with local browser storage is coming in the next update.

🧠 The AI Engines (Personas)

How do I choose the right Persona?+

Think of your end goal: Atlas is for "Serious & Structured" (Business/History). Nova is for "Cool & Viral" (Social/Trends). Orion is for "Immersive & Fantasy" (Gaming/Lore).

Can Atlas generate funny names?+

He can, but he prefers wit over silliness. If you want truly random, meme-worthy, or slang-heavy names, Nova is a much better choice.

Why does Orion sound so weird sometimes?+

That's a feature, not a bug! Orion is trained on fantasy linguistics (like Elvish, Orcish, or Alien dialects). He creates names that sound authentic to those worlds, even if they aren't real English words.

Can I combine two personas?+

Not directly in one click, but you can run the same keyword through both engines. For example, run "Coffee" through Atlas for a shop name, and then through Nova for the Instagram handle.

Are the names really AI-generated?+

Yes. Unlike old generators that just pick from a static database list, our engines analyze your input and construct new names phonetically and semantically in real-time.

💼 Business & Ownership

Who owns the generated names?+

You do. We claim zero copyright over the output. Once you generate it, it's yours to use, register, or modify.

Are these names trademark-free?+

We cannot guarantee that. AI creates names based on patterns, and it might accidentally recreate an existing brand name. Always perform a trademark search in your country (USPTO, etc.) before investing money.

Can I find available .com domains?+

Formalizer generates the ideas. While we optimize for uniqueness, finding an available `.com` is hard these days. We recommend being flexible with extensions like `.io`, `.co`, or `.cloud`.

Do you sell my search data?+

Never. Some shady registrars "front-run" searches (buy the domain before you can). We do not track your specific keyword inputs or sell data to registrars. Your brainstorming is private.

Can I use these names for an LLC?+

Yes, Atlas Vance is specifically designed to create names that sound professional enough for LLC registration and corporate filing.

🎮 Gaming, RPG & Writing

Does this work for D&D 5e?+

Yes! Orion is trained on the naming conventions of the Forgotten Realms and other major D&D settings. His Tiefling, Elf, and Dwarf name generators are highly accurate.

Can I use these names for my novel?+

Absolutely. Many authors use Formalizer to name minor characters, towns, or entire kingdoms. It's a great cure for writer's block.

Are the names "Lore Accurate"?+

To the best of our AI's ability, yes. Orion distinguishes between "Soft" sounds (Elvish) and "Hard" sounds (Orcish/Dwarven) to fit the specific trope you are looking for.

What about Sci-Fi names?+

Yes. We can generate names for planets, ships, and alien species. Use keywords like "Nebula", "Tech", or "Xeno" to guide Orion toward a sci-fi vibe.

Can I name my WoW Guild here?+

Definitely. Try combining Atlas (for structure) and Orion (for theme) to find a guild name that sounds authoritative yet epic.

🔧 Technical & Support

Do you have an API?+

Not publicly at the moment. We are focusing on making the web experience perfect first. Contact us if you have a commercial partnership inquiry.

I found a bug, where do I report it?+

Please use the Contact page form. If a generator is giving weird results, let us know which Persona you were using!

Can I export names to CSV?+

Not yet, but this is a highly requested feature. For now, a simple copy-paste works best.

Why are some results English and others not?+

This depends on the Engine. Atlas usually sticks to English/Latin roots. Orion frequently invents phonetic words that don't exist in English to fit fantasy languages.

How can I support Formalizer?+

The best way is to share the tool with your friends, guildmates, or co-founders. Word of mouth helps us keep the servers running!
