Naming an orc rogue
An orc rogue carries orc naming tradition into the rogue's calling. 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. A rogue — a quick-fingered survivor of the urban underworld — tends toward slick names or aliases — the real one is rarely the one they answer to. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
