Female Orc Name Generator

Orc names are built to be barked across a battlefield. Whatever the setting, they favor one or two syllables, back-of-the-throat consonants (g, k, gh, kh, z) and open vowels: Baggi, Ovak, Ghorza, Draka. D&D's Player's Handbook lists female orc names like Baggi, Emen, Engong, Kansif, Myev, Neega, Ovak, Ownka, Shautha, Sutha, Vola, Volen and Yevelda, and orcs in D&D usually skip surnames in favor of a tribe or an earned epithet: Yevelda Skullcracker, Ovak of the Bloody Fist.

The Elder Scrolls gives orcs (Orsimer) a distinctive matronymic and patronymic system. A woman is "gra-" plus her father's or clan's name, so Borgakh gra-Dushnikh means Borgakh of Dushnikh; men use "gro-". Skyrim's stronghold orcs like Ghorza gra-Bagol, Urzoga gra-Shugurz and Sharamph gra-Bagol are the templates. Warcraft orcs, by contrast, tend toward slightly softer two-syllable names ending in -a (Draka, Aggra, Garona, Zaela) followed by a clan name like Frostwolf, Warsong or Blackrock.

All three conventions appear in the list, so you can pick a plain given name for a D&D half-orc, a gra- name for a Skyrim character, or a name plus clan for a Horde-style warrior, and add an epithet once she has earned one.
