Naming a kenku paladin
A kenku paladin carries kenku naming tradition into the paladin'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 paladin — an oath-bound champion sworn to a sacred cause — tends toward noble, resonant names that sound right when a herald calls them.
