How to Choose a Perfect Name for a Krogan?
A perfect krogan name is short and hard, with the clan name first, as in Urdnot Wrex. A krogan has only a given name at birth. The clan name comes after the krogan passes the rite of passage of the clan it wants to join. Krogan come from Tuchanka, a harsh world split into rival clans.

4 Quick Tips for Naming a Krogan
- Put the clan first. Krogan names start with the clan, as in Urdnot Wrex and Nakmor Drack.
- Keep the given name hard. Names like Wrex, Drack, and Grunt are short and end in a hard sound.
- Use 1 name for a young krogan. A krogan earns a clan name after the rite of passage, so a young krogan goes by a given name only.
- Skip canon names. Names like Wrex, Grunt, and Drack belong to known characters, so the generator leaves them out.
