Hags in D&D and fantasy need names that feel old, wrong, and rooted in folk horror—something players will remember and dread. The Hag Name Generator helps you create names that fit green hags, sea hags, and crones in your campaign.
Hag Naming Conventions
Many hag names use a title (Mother, Granny, Old, Sister) plus a second element: body (Thornbone, Greenteeth, Wartnose), place (Mire-Web, Salt-Tooth, Dripwood), or action (Bonegnaw, Drownsong). The result should sound like a name villagers might whisper—not cute, but unsettling and memorable.
Green Hag vs. Sea Hag vs. Night Hag
Green hags lean toward woods and thorns (Granny Thornbone, The Thorn Witch). Sea hags get salt, drowning, and brine (Old Salt-Tooth, The Drowned Crone). Bog and marsh hags get mire, sludge, and rot (Bog-Witch Morna, Sister Sludge). Use keywords to steer the generator toward the right type.
