About Fighter Names
Fighter names reflect the practical, martial nature of those who live by the sword. These are names forged in training yards and battlefields, often simple and strong. From elite champions to common soldiers, fighter names carry the weight of combat experience.
Naming Conventions
Fighter names tend toward the practical and strong. Many draw from Germanic, Celtic, or Roman traditions. Epithets based on fighting style or famous battles are common. Simple, short names that can be shouted across a battlefield work well.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good fighter name?
Good fighter names are strong, simple, and memorable. Names like "Kane," "Brynn," or "Garrett" work well. They should be easy to shout in battle and carry a sense of strength.
How do fighter names differ from barbarian names?
Fighter names often sound more civilized and trained - "Marcus Ironguard" versus "Grok Skullcrusher." Fighters might have military-sounding names while barbarians sound more tribal or primal.
Should I use titles or ranks?
Military titles (Sergeant, Captain, Commander) can work as name elements or prefixes. "Captain Stone" or "Wardmaster Aldric" immediately establish the fighter's status and experience.
What about gladiator-style fighters?
Gladiators often had dramatic stage names: "The Iron Bull," "Crimson Blade," or single powerful words like "Maximus." These names were meant to excite crowds.
How do I name a fighter from different martial traditions?
Champion fighters might have noble names. Battle Masters could have tactical-sounding names. Echo Knights might have mysterious or duplicated names. Match to your subclass.
Can fighters have normal names?
Absolutely! Many fighters started as common folk. "Tom the Soldier" or "Sarah Shields" feel grounded and realistic. Not every fighter needs an epic-sounding name.
