Charr Name Generator

Charr names in Guild Wars 2 follow a strict two-part pattern: a short, hard given name and a compound surname that is really a warband badge. Rytlock Brimstone, Crecia Stoneglow and Rox Whetstone all belong to the Stone warband; Ryland Steelcatcher, Cinder Steeltemper and Vishen Steelshot share the Steel warband; Pyre and Gron Fierceshot are Fierce warband. The shared root is the warband, the second half is personal, usually earned in the fahrar or in battle. Surnames are blunt English compounds that sound like an order being barked: Ruinbringer, Swordshadow, Doomforge, Anvilburn, Goreblade, Desertgrave.

Given names are mostly one or two syllables with heavy consonants and Roman or Germanic edges: Bangar, Kalla, Malice, Almorra, Smodur, Gaheron, Torga, Efram, Ajax, Tybalt, Bhuer. Female and male names are not strongly distinguished, which fits a culture where sex has no bearing on rank. Flame Legion shamans lean on fire and ruin (Baelfire, Burntsoul, Burntfur), Ash Legion names often hint at stealth (Swordshadow, Leftpaw), and Iron Legion picks up metal and machinery.

This generator gives you full charr names, a handful of cub, gladium and shaman styles, and warband names you can hand to a whole guild roster. Choose a warband root first, then build the surname around it so your character's name tells other players where they stand.
