Naming a half-orc rogue
A half-orc rogue carries half-orc naming tradition into the rogue'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 rogue — a quick-fingered survivor of the urban underworld — tends toward slick names or aliases — the real one is rarely the one they answer to. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.

Half-Orc naming conventions
A half-orc given name is one or two blunt syllables (Gor-, Thok-, Bar-) with a gendered ending. Some take an orc-style epithet — Ironscar, Ashwalker — earned by deed rather than inherited.
