About Axe Names
Axe names should evoke raw power and primal fury. These are weapons of warriors who favor strength over finesse—dwarven champions, barbarian berserkers, and battle-hardened fighters. A great axe name speaks to the weapon's history of carnage and the enemies it has felled.
Naming Conventions
Axe names typically combine aggressive prefixes (Blood, Skull, Doom) with violent action suffixes (cleaver, crusher, splitter). Dwarven axes often reference stone, mountain, or ancestral themes. Barbarian axes favor primal and beast-related names.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good axe name?
Good axe names sound powerful and violent. They often describe what the axe does (Cleaver, Crusher) or what it's meant to kill (Trollbane, Dragonrender). Hard consonants and aggressive words work best.
How do dwarven axe names differ?
Dwarven axes often have names referencing stone, mountains, or ancestors. They might include clan names or commemorate ancient battles. "Stonefather's Fury" or "Khazad-dum's Edge" feel authentically dwarven.
Should I name my barbarian's axe?
Absolutely! Barbarians often have deep connections to their weapons. The name might reference a spirit animal, a tribal tradition, or a great deed. The axe could even have a simple, brutal name like "Rage" or "Bloodthirst."
What about throwing axes?
Throwing axes can have names suggesting flight or return—"Windseeker," "Stormcast," or "Returning Fang." They're often lighter in naming convention than greataxes.
How do I name a magical axe?
Magical axes might reference their enchantment: "Frostbite" for an ice axe, "Flamecleaver" for fire. Legendary axes often have names from ancient languages or fallen heroes who wielded them.
Can axes have elegant names?
While axes are typically brutal weapons, elven or ceremonial axes might have more elegant names. An elven axe might be "Moonsilver" or "Starfall." The contrast can be striking.
