Naming a warforged rogue
A warforged rogue carries warforged naming tradition into the rogue'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 rogue — a quick-fingered survivor of the urban underworld — tends toward slick names or aliases — the real one is rarely the one they answer to. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
