How orc names are structured
An orc given name is one or two blunt syllables (Ghor-, Krug-, Mog-) with a gendered ending. Epithets are deeds made into words: Skullcrusher, Ironmaw, Bloodfist.
Orc naming conventions
Orc names are short, hard, and aggressive, built from guttural consonants and abrupt stops. A name is meant to sound like a threat or a war-cry, and the strongest orcs earn an epithet that replaces any family name.
Examples of orc names
Ghorak, Kruga, and Mogdul sit squarely in the orc tradition without copying any specific published character.
