Naming a dwarf barbarian
A dwarf barbarian carries dwarf naming tradition into the barbarian's calling. Dwarven names are short, hard, and grounded: heavy on th, d, b, k, and r, light on frills. They sound like something you would carve into stone, which suits a culture of miners, smiths, and masons who measure worth in lasting work. A barbarian — a rage-fueled warrior from beyond civilization — tends toward short, hard, deed-earned names — often a single given name plus a boastful epithet. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
