Good Orc Names


Advice


Just got a new player who I'm giving a pre-made character so I don't wind up with another gnome draconic sorcerer who insists he specializes in melee. He's gonna be an orc barbarian. Orc name generator gave me kubdog, mobglog, horgag, molok, and gubgog. These are unacceptable. Anybody got any awesome orc barbarian names?

I've always been fond of Ripsnarl for orc or half-orc characters.

Names with guttural/hard constant sounds, like Krozug, Zugrash, or Rokuk.
If you want them to look more exotic, add apostrophes (Kro'Zug, Zu'Grash, or Rok'Uk, move to taste).

Otherwise, brutal action words, or metal sounding portmanteau, like Gutrender, Paingifter, Bloodthirst, Redaxe, Jaggedblade, or Warfeast. These sound silly to me, but only because they remind me of comics in the 90's.

I like Ghik.

It's the Draconic word for Orc, and also an insult.


Did you try out this one?

Rob Liefeld orcs...That's a pretty good premise.

Fluffykitty - give him reason to be angry.


Warfeast has it. It may be silly, but it's also the most metal thing I've heard all month. As far as the name generator goes, a real name generator didn't actually give me those names. I was just making fun of the one Silverhair linked to.


Uma Thurman.


There is also this one.

Now I'm picturing an orc with a torso sized like a semi, constantly hidden feet, feathered hair, and pouches everywhere.


Renegade of Funk.

Sovereign Court

Lenny. And have him be best friends with another character called George...


I like to use Klingon names.


No one has suggested Mork yet? And have him be from New Orc City. Maybe Im to old.


I just had to make a few NPCs.

Gamoraz

Kergen Two-fang

Ummmmm a gnome draconic sorcerer sounds awesome!!!!

Names of weapons work too.

Anything with a long O or U sound works well as an orc name.

1) Why not let the player name him?

2) Orcs have hard, throaty names. Lots of K's, G's, and R's. Horrag. Mekkosh. Rhog. Orgran. Magar. Krilgan. Morsh. Pruk. Therog. Dorrm. Erdrag. Drezar. Betreg. stuff like that.

3) Might also be worth your time to look up orc names from teh Warcraft universe.

His battle cry could be "SHAZBAT!"

Rest in peace, Mr. Williams.

I personally like my orc characters to have names that mean something relevant to the character in the Black Speech.


I love my Orc names for my character

What's the Black Speech term for "Tread Necromancer"? :)
