Naming a warforged monk
A warforged monk carries warforged naming tradition into the monk's calling. Warforged were built, not born, so their first identifier is often a serial mark. Most adopt an earned name — something that reflects the person they have chosen to become rather than the unit they were built into. 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.
