Naming a half-orc barbarian
A half-orc barbarian carries half-orc naming tradition into the barbarian's calling. Half-orc names carry the guttural punch of orcish — g, k, r, and hard stops — but are often a touch shorter and more pronounceable in human company, reflecting a life straddling two cultures. 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.
