Naming a tiefling cleric
A tiefling cleric carries tiefling naming tradition into the cleric'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 cleric — a devoted channeler of divine will — tends toward solemn, traditional names, often paired with a title or holy surname. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
