Female Rogue Name Generator
Women's names and aliases for thieves, spies and assassins
Female rogue names for D&D, WoW and other RPGs: full names like Tamsin Ferret and Dahlia Whisperwood, street aliases like Thimble and The Copper Wren, and quoted nicknames such as Nan 'Needles' Harcourt.
About female rogue names
A rogue usually has two names: the one she was given and the one she works under. The first is a feminine given name with a family name, and on this list the family names lean toward shadow, locks, coins and rooftops: Tamsin Ferret, Dahlia Whisperwood, Emmeline Silverlock. The second is an alias, and an alias is chosen to hide things, sometimes including the fact that its owner is a woman.
Street aliases come in a few standard shapes. A single word taken from a tool, a bird or a bit of finery (Thimble, Jackdaw, Hatpin) is quick to say and easy to deny. A name with "The" (The Copper Wren, The Lacemaker) is what rivals and the city watch call a thief they have never seen. A courtesy title in front of an invented word (Lady Gloam, Widow Crake, Sister Hush) suits a con artist or a guild officer, and an adjective with a short first name (Red Nan, Copper Kate) is how a gang names its own. A quoted nickname such as Nan 'Needles' Harcourt joins the legal name and the working name, the way a wanted poster would.
Every name here is for a woman. Poison and flower codenames such as Monkshood and Widow's Lace round out the list for assassins.
How to choose female rogue names
- Give her both kinds of name. A legal name like Cordelia Cinderford for the character sheet and an alias like Latchkey or The Velvet Hand for the job gives the rest of the table something to discover.
- Match the alias to the trade. Tools and small objects (Thimble, Keyhole, Tumbler) suit burglars and pickpockets, plants like Henbane and Hellebore suit poisoners, and a title like Countess Pinchbeck suits a con artist who works in ballrooms.
- Most MMO name fields take a single word with no spaces, so the one-word aliases are the ones to try there. Titles, quotes and full names are for tabletop sheets, fiction and guild rosters.
- An ironic alias is often the one people remember. Honest Joan, Miss Direction and Patience 'Hurry' Wainwright show that she has a sense of humor about her work.
- Decide who gave her the name. An alias she chose says how she sees herself, and one the city watch invented, like The Polite Burglar, says what the witnesses remember.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good name for a female rogue?
It depends on the kind of rogue. Tamsin Ferret and Fenella Picklock read as thieves, Rafaela Stiletto and Monkshood as assassins, Eve 'Eavesdrop' Langley as a spy and Countess Pinchbeck as a con artist. All of them are in this list, along with one-word aliases such as Thimble and Latchkey.
Should a rogue use her real name or an alias?
In most stories she has both. The given name and surname are for family, contracts and the character sheet, and the alias is what clients, rivals and the law know her by. A quoted nickname like Kit 'Catspaw' Morrow shows the two together.
Do these names work for D&D and World of Warcraft?
Yes for both, with one difference. A tabletop game like D&D has room for full names, titles and nicknames, while an MMO name field usually takes one word with no spaces. For that, use the one-word aliases such as Vixen, Gossamer or Quicksilver, and keep a few spares ready in case another player on your server got there first.
How is this different from the general rogue name generator?
Every name here is written for a woman, from the given names to aliases like The Pale Duchess and Widow Crake. The general rogue page mixes male, female and neutral names and is a separate list, so it is worth trying both.
