Brick My Name is a free LEGO name generator: type any name and see it built from brick-style pieces, either as 3D standing letters or as a flat mosaic on the baseplate. Pick a piece size (S, M or L) and you get a live preview plus an estimated piece inventory broken down by color.
Nothing to install and no sign-up. It runs in the browser, works on phones, and every design is laid out with pieces LEGO actually sells — 1- and 2-stud plate bands for the flat mosaics, 2×N bricks for the 3D letters — so the inventory is something you can take to a real build. Handy for room signs, birthday decorations, gifts, framed mosaics and school projects. Also in Spanish: generador de nombres LEGO.
How it works
Type your name in the generator field above.
Pick a brick size: small (S), medium (M), or large (L).
Review the preview of each letter built from colored pieces.
Check the inventory of bricks needed to build the design.
Brick sizes: S, M and L
The size you pick decides how big each letter comes out and how many pieces it costs. A stud is 8 mm across and a brick is 9.6 mm tall, so the numbers translate straight to a real desk or shelf:
One letter at each size
Size
Flat letter
3D letter
3D height
S
5 studs (4 cm)
5 studs (4 cm)
7 layers (6.7 cm)
M
10 studs (8 cm)
7 studs (5.6 cm)
7 layers (6.7 cm)
L
15 studs (12 cm)
14 studs (11.2 cm)
14 layers (13.4 cm)
The baseplate underneath is 32 × 16 studs, about 25.6 × 12.8 cm. When a name is too long to fit, the generator spreads it over more baseplates and tells you how many — which is usually the detail that decides between S and L.
What the piece inventory tells you
Every design comes with a count of what it takes to build, not just a picture. The inventory breaks down by piece size and by color, using the four classic brick colors — red, yellow, blue and green — assigned by a fixed pattern, so the same name always gives you the same build.
Flat mosaics use only 1- and 2-stud plate bands, the sizes sold loose in pick-a-brick style.
3D letters are two studs deep and use 2×N bricks, with the joints staggered layer by layer like a real brick bond, so each letter stands on its own.
Both views report the total piece count and how many baseplates the name needs.
The counts are an estimate from the letter patterns rather than an official parts list, so treat them as a shopping guide. Each name page publishes its own figures, letter by letter.
What people build with it
The same name works out very differently depending on what it's for:
Room signs and door plaques — a flat mosaic sits flush with the plate and frames cleanly.
Birthday centrepieces — 3D letters stand up and read from both sides of the table.
Gifts — a short name at S is a one-evening build from bricks you probably already own.
Framed brick art — a flat name on its own baseplate, mounted as a picture.
School typography projects — the letter patterns make grid and pixel-font ideas concrete.
Shelf letters — initials or a single word in 3D, standing on a bookshelf.
LEGO nicknames, usernames and short words
It isn't only for first names. Nicknames, gamer tags, usernames, initials, a team name or a couple of short words all give you a name in LEGO bricks the same way — you type it, the generator lays out the letters and counts the pieces. Shorter is easier: anything up to four or five letters usually fits on one baseplate at M.
The brick alphabet covers the 26 letters A–Z. Digits, accented characters and ñ aren't part of it yet, so they leave an empty slot where that character would go — write Sofia rather than Sofía and it comes out complete.
Popular LEGO name examples
Browse ready-made designs for common names, then open the generator to customize colors and size.
Yes. The generator supports Latin alphabet letters (A–Z). Each letter uses a colorful LEGO brick pattern.
Is this an official LEGO app?
No. Brick My Name is an independent project inspired by construction bricks. LEGO® is a trademark of LEGO Juris A/S. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by The LEGO Group.
Is the piece inventory exact?
The inventory is an estimate based on letter patterns. Use it as a guide when planning a physical build.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The interface is responsive on phones and desktops.
Is Brick My Name really free?
Yes. There is no account, no watermark and no limit on how many names you design. The generator runs entirely in your browser.
How many bricks do I need for a name?
It depends on the length and the size you pick. A four-letter name like Liam at size M works out at about 29 plates as a flat mosaic, or 51 bricks as 3D letters. Every name page publishes its own figures, letter by letter.
Can I build it with bricks I already own?
Usually, yes. The layouts only use standard sizes: 1- and 2-stud plate bands for flat mosaics, and 2×N bricks for the 3D letters. Colors are a suggestion — swap them for whatever you have.
Which characters can I use?
The brick alphabet covers the 26 letters A–Z. Digits, accented characters and ñ are not included yet and leave an empty slot where that character would go.
Are the letters flat or built up in height?
Each letter can be shown flat on the baseplate (a top-down mosaic) or as volume letters with bricks stacked in height. Switch views in the generator.
