Humblewood Name Generator

Humblewood, the 5e setting from Hit Point Press, gives you ten playable peoples and each one sounds different. The five birdfolk have the sharpest divide: corvum (crows, ravens, magpies) take dark, clipped names like Corvax Nightquill or Vesna Cawley; gallus (chickens and roosters) sound like a farmstead, Bartram Goldcomb, Hattie Henwick; luma (doves and pigeons) get soft, open vowels and Welsh-tinged given names such as Elowen Mistral and Osian Driftwell; raptors carry Latin, military weight, Aquilla Stormtalon, Valerius Keenhold; and strig (owls) take hushed, scholarly names like Ozren Duskwhisper and Hollis Barnwise.

The humblefolk are earthier. Cervan (deer) pair Welsh given names with woodland surnames, Gwenllian Mossglade; hedge (hedgehogs) sound like a cozy English village, Tuppence Quillby, Humphrey Nettlebed; jerbeen (jerboas) are tiny and quick, so their names are too: Pip, Zippa, Tally Dashbury; mapach (raccoons, from the Spanish mapache) get Spanish given names and tinkerer surnames, Ramiro Bandero, Celia Bottlecap; vulpin (foxes) lean French and sly, Renard Emberbrush, Adele Goupil.

A good Humblewood name fits the gentle, storybook tone of the Wood. Surnames describe a home, a trade or a quirk rather than a grand deed, and even the raptors of the high perches sound like neighbors from Alderheart rather than conquerors.
