Naming a tiefling bard
A tiefling bard carries tiefling naming tradition into the bard's calling. Tiefling naming runs two ways: an infernal birth-name with a hiss and an edge, or a self-chosen 'virtue name' — a word like Hope, Sorrow, or Reverence that declares who they intend to be. Both are equally valid. A bard — a wandering performer who trades in songs and secrets — tends toward melodic, memorable names built to be announced on a stage. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
