Naming a kenku barbarian
A kenku barbarian carries kenku naming tradition into the barbarian's calling. Kenku cannot create new sounds, so their names are mimicries — snippets of overheard speech, birdsong, clicks, and trills stitched together. A kenku name is as much a sound-effect as a word. 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.
