Naming a tiefling paladin
A tiefling paladin carries tiefling naming tradition into the paladin'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 paladin — an oath-bound champion sworn to a sacred cause — tends toward noble, resonant names that sound right when a herald calls them. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
