Funny Skyrim character names built on the jokes players share: meme names like Arrow Kneeson, Argonian phrases like Steals-Your-Sweetroll, Khajiit puns like J'Walker and Nords such as Bjorn the Mildly Inconvenienced. All 500 are clean and ready to type at character creation.

About funny Skyrim names

Skyrim is a single-player game, so the name box at character creation is yours alone: no name is ever taken and nobody can report it. That freedom is why joke names are a tradition, and the good ones lean on how each race is really named. Argonians often go by a phrase joined with hyphens, which turns easily into Steals-Your-Sweetroll or Forgets-The-Main-Quest. Khajiit names can open with a short prefix such as J', Ma', Ra' or Dro', and that is all J'Walker and Ma'Larky need. Nords carry bynames, so Bjorn the Mildly Inconvenienced sounds right at home, and Orcs use gro- for sons and gra- for daughters, which gives you Grunk gro-Cery.

The rest of the list plays on the game itself. There are meme names about arrows and knees, stolen sweetrolls, cheese wheels and the first shout everyone learns (Arrow Kneeson, Fus Ro Dave), puns on the holds and cities (Winterhold My Mead, Falkreath Mints), and jokes for Bretons, Imperials, Redguards and the High, Dark and Wood Elves, such as Breton Winner, Septim Heaven and Well Dunmer.

Every joke here is tied to The Elder Scrolls. The names are fan-style gags for your own characters, not lore names, and all of them are family friendly.

How to choose funny Skyrim names

Pick the race first. Swims-In-Soup only works on an Argonian and Ra'Violi only on a Khajiit, while the meme names and the hold puns fit anyone.
Let the name set a rule for the playthrough. Hoards-Cheese-Wheels should never walk past a wheel, and Olaf the Overencumbered should never drop anything.
Choose a joke you can live with for a long time. You will see the name on every save file, so a quick meme can wear thinner than a pun like Sock Draugr.
If a long name does not fit the name box on your version of the game, take a shorter one from the same style, for example Dragon Bjorn or Tamriel Deal.
Keep a serious name in reserve. If you decide halfway through the cart ride that you want a lore-friendly hero after all, the Skyrim and race generators linked on this page cover that.

Frequently asked questions

Are these names from Elder Scrolls lore?

No. They are fan-style jokes written in the naming styles of the setting, and they borrow its places, items and shouts for the punchlines. Falkreath, sweetrolls and the Greybeards are part of the games, but Falkreath Mints, Sweetroll Thief and Greybeard Trimmer are not characters you will meet there.

How do funny Argonian and Khajiit names work?

Both copy a real pattern from the games. Many Argonians use a short phrase with hyphens as a name, so a joke only has to describe a bad habit: Loots-All-Barrels, Walks-Into-Traps or Sworn-To-Carry-Burdens. Khajiit puns take a common prefix and finish an everyday word with it, as in J'Ello, Ma'Caroni, Ri'Diculous and S'Mores.

What is a good funny name for a Nord?

Give a plain Nord first name an epithet that is far too honest. Ragnar the Lightly Armored, Helga Horker-Hugger, Ingrid Arrow-Dodger and Gunnar the Almost Dragonborn all follow the way Nords in the game carry bynames. The milder the boast, the better the joke.

Can I use these names in The Elder Scrolls Online?

Some of them, but check the rules there first. An online game has its own limits on length and characters, other players can already hold a name, and a name can be reported. We have not tested any name in any game, so the character creation screen is the only real check.
