Naming a changeling rogue
A changeling rogue carries changeling naming tradition into the rogue's calling. Changelings shift their faces at will, so their names are equally fluid — short, simple mask-names adopted for a role and discarded when the role ends. A changeling may have dozens of names over a lifetime. A rogue — a quick-fingered survivor of the urban underworld — tends toward slick names or aliases — the real one is rarely the one they answer to. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
