D&D Races You Can Name

Each race in D&D has its own naming style, drawn from its culture and language. Here is how the names feel for each one.

• Human: Flexible and varied, from grounded village names to grand noble titles.
• Elf: Graceful and musical, with a long, ancient feel.
• Dwarf: Strong and hardy, full of stone, iron, and proud family lines.
• Halfling: Warm and homey, friendly names that suit cheerful adventurers.
• Dragonborn: Bold and powerful, with a draconic ring fit for proud warriors.
• Tiefling: Exotic and otherworldly, sometimes virtue names that hint at a dark heritage.
• Gnome: Quirky and clever, perfect for inventors and tricksters.
• Half-Orc: Tough and blunt, names that carry strength and a hard past.

Tips for Naming Your D&D Character

• Match the name to your race and background. A dwarf cleric and a tiefling warlock should sound worlds apart.
• Pick a name your whole table can pronounce. You will say it out loud for hours.
• Use the class title as a story hook. It can hint at your character’s past or goals.
• Generate a few extra names for NPCs while you are here. DMs always need them.

Example D&D Names
