For example my dwarves call themselves 'Grimdar' in their own tongue, whereas the word 'dwarf' is in the Common tongue. Humans - Anthar Elves - Aeldeth Dwarves - Grimdar Halflings - Lirrin Orcs - Uruk Goblins - Kuldan Hobgoblins - Hunkuldan Trolls - Throlod Giants - Jotun Tieflings - Daeva Does any of you do the same? And what names do you use?
