Tips for Choosing the Perfect Orc Name

• Use harsh consonants: K, G, R, TH, and Z sounds make names sound more orcish
• Add brutal descriptors: Blood, Skull, Death, Iron make names more intimidating
• Keep it short and punchy: Orcs prefer quick, powerful names (Grom, Thrak, Durotan)
• Include clan names: Frostwolf, Warsong, Blackrock, Bleeding Hollow
• Use apostrophes sparingly: Gul’dan, Drek’Thar work, but don’t overuse
• Consider achievements: Hellscream, Doomhammer, Bonecrusher tell a story
• Match the universe: WoW orcs differ from Warhammer orcs differ from D&D orcs
• Think about personality: Honorable orcs vs. savage orcs need different names
