Naming a kenku monk
A kenku monk carries kenku naming tradition into the monk'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 monk — a student of body, breath, and inner balance — tends toward spare, contemplative names, sometimes a single syllable or a virtue. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
