I really like http://www.abgames.com/cgi-bin/randnames.pl for a way to generate some random names. For barbarians I choose Warhammer Style. The list I got this time was:

Beastslicer - I like
Grassdragger - Not great
Grasswalker - Not great
Horsedragger - Not great
Teethwalker - Not Great
Armpunsher - Not Great
Headwalker - Ok
Hobbitmangler - I like
Ballkicker - I like, but wouldn't use
Wraithhammer - I like

Thundarr? Maybe not.

I remember when the Barbarian first appeared in Dragon Magazine back in the early 80's. My brother and I each made one and gave them names of famous "barbaric" football players ... Matuszak and Banazak.

You could use contemporary players' names ... Urlacher the Barbarian isn't too bad. :)

Kar-rak

His name sounds like his enemy's skull after whacking it with his axe.

KAR-RAK!!!

Most non-silly one-word names are good, especially if you follow it with something like 'the Knee-Breaker' or 'the Skull-Cleaver'

Dick the large always worked to me, specially with gnome as race.

I think the race also has a bit to play.


An Elven barbarian won't have a name all that similiar to a Dwarven barbarian.


General had some good nicknames or non-racial names.

One Wolf, my roommate was going to name his barbarian something like that once. He changed his mind when we started saying: "But Krack..."

My barbarian was called Ursa Skaldadottir. But it's a chick name.

I'm not too sure about that name generator, General Dorsey. I just generated a list of names and the first one I got was "Manraper."
Ponderosa

11-20-04, 08:42 PM
...followed by, in my next two lists, "Fingerraper" and "Enemyraper."

Hahaha, oh man, those ARE good barbarian names. Seriously, if you heard the guy named "manraper" was after you, wouldn't you be intimidated and frightened?

That sounds vaguely familiar. Horrible B-movie, right?


There's always the classic "Fumbuk".

The DMPC I'm running is a horribly stereotypical half-orc barbarian named Grognash.

Saturday Night Live, I think it was the cast right before Farely came in. Mike Meyers was Lothar.

My friend always names his Nethack (any fans in here?) barbarians Kraah. I think its a neat barbarian name, sounds like battlecry but isnt too ridiculous like a lot of onamotapeia-type names.

I actually end up basing a lot of my character's personality elements on the 'feel' I get from the name, so I consider name very important for a character.

I had a pair of short-lived barbaric NPCs named Therek and Thugash. Then there was a much more memorable half-orc PC named Thugasha (the barbarian/bard ballerina).
