Funny paladin names for WoW, D&D and other RPGs: one-word names like Smitemare and Oathmeal, tabletop names like Sir Smites-a-Lot and Dame Lawful Goodenough, spoken puns like Pal Adin and Rhett Ribution, and job titles like Senior Smiting Consultant.

About funny paladin names

Paladin jokes come easily because the class takes itself so seriously. A knight who swears a sacred oath, glows in the dark and asks whether the goblin is evil before hitting it is easy to tease, and most paladin humor draws on a short list of subjects: smiting (Smitemare, Sir Smites-a-Lot), the bubble and the escape that World of Warcraft players call the bubble hearth (Bubblehearth, Bubblenope), lay on hands (Layonhanz, Lady Onhands), oaths (Oathmeal, Oath of the Snooze Button), auras (Laura Protection) and the lawful good habit of lecturing the party (Hallmonitor, Dame Lawful Goodenough).

The names come in two sizes. The one-word names use letters only and are 12 characters or fewer, the limit for a World of Warcraft character name, so Holycowl or Pallygraph can go straight into a name field. Everything longer is for tabletop sheets, guild rosters and group chats: full names to be read aloud in a serious voice (Pal Adin, Rhett Ribution, Justin Aura Range), deadpan ones such as Sir Gary the Adequate and Paladin Pending Approval, invented job titles like Senior Smiting Consultant, and jokes about the rules, from All Out of Smite Slots to Find Steed, Lose Steed.

Everything is family-friendly. The jokes are about the game class and its kit, never about a real faith or real people.

How to choose funny paladin names

  • For an MMO, pick from the one-word names and keep two or three spares. Most games let only one character on a realm hold a name, and the obvious jokes go first.
  • Say a spoken pun out loud before you commit. Leah Onhands, Stan Inmyaura and Noah Slots Left only land when someone reads them aloud, which makes them best for a tabletop game.
  • Match the joke to the build. Smite puns suit a damage dealer, bubble and shield jokes suit a tank, Layonhooves was made for a tauren, and Oatbreaker suits the paladin whose oath is already wobbling.
  • Pick a joke you can live with for fifty hours. A deadpan name like Trevor the Technically Good tends to age better than one that leans on a meme.
  • Check the rules of your game and your table. Role-play realms may ask for names that fit the setting, and a serious campaign may want the pun as a nickname only.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny paladin names?

Smitemare, Holycowl, Oathmeal and Pallygraph are one-word names from this list. Among the longer ones are Sir Smites-a-Lot, Dame Lawful Goodenough, Rhett Ribution, Laura Norder and Senior Smiting Consultant. The rest runs from spoken puns to jokes about spell slots and auras.

Which of these names fit a World of Warcraft character screen?

The one-word names do. They use letters only and are 12 characters or fewer, which is what a WoW name field allows, for example Bubblenope, Dynasmite and Lightwork. Only the game can tell you whether someone on your realm already has a name, so keep a few options ready.

Do these names work for D&D paladins too?

Yes. A tabletop character sheet puts no letter limit on a name, so the full puns and titles work there, and many jokes are about fifth edition rules: Divine Smite on a Crit, Divine Sense of Direction, Aura of Protection Racket and oath parodies such as Oath of the Crown Molding. Ask your DM first if the campaign is a serious one.

Are the names family-friendly?

Yes. The jokes are about smites, bubbles, oaths, auras and lawful good zeal. There is nothing sexual, and no name makes fun of a real religion, a real person or a group of people.
