I run a homebrew campaign and I have an enemy I'm going to have fight my one PC 1v1. It's a level 11 Orc Monk against a level 11 Human Monk. It's gonna be an epic fist fight. It reminded me a bit of Bane vs Batman. But obviously I don't wanna just rip off Bane, but I can't really think of any good names in the same caliber and feel as Bane. Any advice from you guys in the forum?

I vote for either Blight or Scourge. Both mean roughly the same thing and convey a sense of dread. Alternatively, I believe Pernicies means ruin or bane in latin.
Since he is a monk.
Perhaps he adopted an asian name.
Saizo
Hanzo
Jubei
Shin
...and so on
I find that a great way to name NPCs is to find a country or culture in the real world that would make sense for that NPC to be a part of. Then I use google translate to find words in that country's language and mix and match to come up with a name.
It works for other things too. For example I have a northern town that worships bears and has a Russian feel to it. So I named the town Bahrden because bahr is Russian for bear. So Bahrden = bear's den.
Thanks guys. I love the ideas so far. I'm really diggin the Blight or Scourge options. But I'm not a big fan of asian names but that's just me. Perhaps a russian name would be excellent
