Naming a genasi bard
A genasi bard carries genasi naming tradition into the bard's calling. Genasi names echo the element that runs in their blood: fire genasi favour sharp, sparking sounds; earth genasi favour heavy, grounded ones; water and air genasi favour flowing, open sounds. A bard — a wandering performer who trades in songs and secrets — tends toward melodic, memorable names built to be announced on a stage. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
