Naming a githzerai barbarian
A githzerai barbarian carries githzerai naming tradition into the barbarian's calling. Githzerai names are calmer and more contemplative than their githyanki cousins, favouring softer consonants and a meditative cadence that suits a monastic, mind-disciplined people. 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.
