Naming a dwarf paladin
A dwarf paladin carries dwarf naming tradition into the paladin'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 paladin — an oath-bound champion sworn to a sacred cause — tends toward noble, resonant names that sound right when a herald calls them. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.

Dwarf naming conventions
A dwarven given name is one or two blunt syllables (Thor-, Dur-, Bor-) capped with a gendered ending (-in, -or for masculine; -a, -dis for feminine). Almost every dwarf also carries a clan name — Ironforge, Stonehammer, Goldvein — earned by an ancestor's deed and worn with pride.
