Naming a tiefling monk
A tiefling monk carries tiefling naming tradition into the monk'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 monk — a student of body, breath, and inner balance — tends toward spare, contemplative names, sometimes a single syllable or a virtue. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
