Naming a goblin barbarian
A goblin barbarian carries goblin naming tradition into the barbarian's calling. Goblin names are short, sharp and a little rude in spirit: hard k and g sounds, buzzing z's and clipped vowels. Most goblins answer to whatever their gang calls them, and a name is something you defend — or upgrade — with a story about the last scrap you survived. 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.
