Naming a kobold barbarian
A kobold barbarian carries kobold naming tradition into the barbarian's calling. Kobold names are quick, high and clipped — the kind of sound you can yip down a tunnel in the middle of an ambush. Many kobolds think of themselves as servants or distant kin of dragons, so a name that borrows a draconic syllable such as Drak- or Zar- is worn with real pride. 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.
