Naming a dwarf sorcerer
A dwarf sorcerer carries dwarf naming tradition into the sorcerer'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 sorcerer — a caster whose power runs in the blood — tends toward evocative names that hint at the lineage that sparks their magic. 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.
