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?

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.

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

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

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.

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