Which elf are you?
Every workshop at the North Pole has its elves, and each has a name nobody would pick for themselves. This page gives you yours: it takes your name and your birth month and turns them into an elf name and a job in the workshop.
Then it draws your elf on a card: a red hat with a bobble, a friendly face and the name in gold. You can download the picture or send it to friends who want to compare.
How to find your elf name
Two fields and a click.
Type your name; any alphabet works.
Pick your birth month.
Read your elf name and job, then download the picture.
What you get
A name, a job and a card.
- An elf name of two words, one chosen by your birth month
- A job at the workshop, from twelve possibilities
- A square picture with your elf and the name, ready to share
Where it fits
Wherever people like a silly name.
A family evening where everyone reveals their elf.
Colleagues swapping elf names before the holidays.
A class making name cards for the Christmas wall.
Friends comparing their elf jobs in the group chat.
How the name is chosen
The first word follows the birth month and the second follows the letters of your name, so the same name and month always give the same elf.
Spelling and capital letters do not matter, and the card is drawn in your browser, not uploaded.
Good to know
There are 144 name combinations and twelve jobs, so friends with similar names may share an elf.
The picture is a 1080 by 1080 pixel PNG.
Tips
- Try your nickname, your full name and a friend's name to compare.
- Print the card for the Christmas table as a name place.
Questions about the elf name generator

Is my name stored anywhere?
No. It stays in your browser, and the picture is drawn there too.
