D&D Dragonborn Name Generator

Dragonborn names in Dungeons & Dragons follow a fixed convention laid out in the Player's Handbook. Every dragonborn has a personal name given at birth, a childhood nickname earned from something they did (Climber, Earbender, Shieldbiter), and a clan name that they traditionally speak first, because clan loyalty outranks the individual. Personal names are short and hard, full of k, r, sh and doubled vowels: Arjhan, Kriv, Medrash, Surina, Uadjit. Clan names are long, sibilant and multisyllabic, like Kepeshkmolik, Verthisathurgiesh and Ophinshtalajiir, and are famously difficult to say at the table, which is part of their character.

The official lists in the 5e Player's Handbook and the Forgotten Realms novels of the Tymanther dragonborn (Farideh, Havilar, Mehen from Erin Evans' Brimstone Angels series) supply the canon examples. Beyond those, the trick to inventing more is to keep the Draconic phonology consistent: personal names of one to three syllables ending in a consonant, clan names of four to seven syllables that pile up -th, -sk, -rr and -iir sounds.

This list separates given names, clan names and nicknames so you can assemble a full formal name (Kepeshkmolik Torinn, called Emberchaser) or take just a personal name for a dragonborn who has left their clan behind, a common backstory for adventurers.
