Naming a halfling rogue
A halfling rogue carries halfling naming tradition into the rogue's calling. Halfling names are short, friendly, and rounded, full of b, m, p, and l sounds. They feel like a name you would call across a garden fence — approachable, unpretentious, and a little bit round at the edges. 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.
