Illuskan Name Generator

Illuskans are one of the nine human ethnicities of the Forgotten Realms described in the D&D 5e Player's Handbook. They are the tall, fair-skinned seafarers of the Sword Coast North, and their descendants fill Luskan, Neverwinter, Ruathym, Mintarn, the Moonshae Isles, and much of Waterdeep. The PHB gives a short list of sample names that set the tone: male names like Ander, Blath, Bran, Frath, Geth, Lander, Luth, Malcer, Stor, Taman, and Urth; female names like Amafrey, Betha, Cefrey, Kethra, Mara, Olga, Silifrey, and Westra; and surnames such as Brightwood, Helder, Hornraven, Lackman, Stormwind, and Windrivver.

The pattern is short, hard-edged forenames (often one or two syllables ending in a consonant) paired with compound English surnames drawn from weather, sea, wood, and stone. Because the Illuskan homeland is a Norse-flavored corner of Faerun, Scandinavian and Celtic names fit comfortably alongside the PHB examples, and Northmen from Ruathym or the Moonshaes frequently use patronymics (Ulfsson, Bjornsdottir), place-based names (Eirik of Luskan), or earned epithets (Stor Halfhand, Bran the Bold).

A good Illuskan name should sound like it was shouted across a longship deck: blunt, memorable, and easy to pronounce at the table.
