Blended names caught between orc strength and human world.

FAQ

How are half-orc names different from orc names?

Half-orc names blend two heritages. They keep the strength of a blunt orcish first name but often add a human surname or nickname, reflecting a life spent between both cultures.

Should my half-orc use an orc or human name?

Either works. Choose based on upbringing, a half-orc raised among orcs leans harsh and guttural, while one raised among humans may carry a plainer first name with an orcish epithet.

What surnames suit a half-orc?

Grim orc-style epithets like Ironhide or Bonesnapper, or grounded human surnames tied to a town or trade. The mix is what makes a half-orc name feel authentic.
