Use short, hard consonants and rolling R sounds for the first name, then add a clan surname built from stone, metal or forge words, like Ironbeard, Stonehand or Deepdelver.

What are dwarf clan names?

A clan name is a dwarf's proud family surname, tracing a bloodline of miners, smiths and warriors. Examples include Battlehammer, Fireforge and Goldvein.

Do female dwarves use the same names?

First names differ (Durga, Helga, Vistra), but every dwarf shares the same clan surname regardless of gender, since it marks the whole lineage.
