Selection guide
How to choose a stronger result
Match the surname to the role
A smith may suit Ironforge or Emberhammer, while a scout may fit Cragfoot or Windview.
Use a shorter given name for NPCs
Brief names are easier to remember at the table; reserve longer names for rulers and major characters.
Check unintended comedy
Compound surnames are memorable, but read the full result aloud before using it in a serious scene.
