The list holds 1,000 names for characters, NPCs and crews.

About miner names

Mining was local work, so a miner's name should say which coalfield or lode it belongs to. The valleys of South Wales give you Ianto Probert and Emrys Beynon, the Yorkshire and Durham pits give you Jud Ackroyd and Sep Kirkup, and Appalachia gives you Hollis Blankenship and Clell Stiltner. Cornish tin and copper men such as Jory Trevithick took their Tre-, Pol- and Pen- surnames to mines around the world, and the coalfields of Silesia, the Ruhr and Pennsylvania were full of names like Stanisław Kowalczyk.

Underground, the work renamed people. Crews made nicknames from gases, lamps, tools and jobs, which is where Blackdamp Bill, Canary Jack and Powder Monkey Perce come from, and the people in charge went by title: Shift Boss Kessler, Cap'n Trembath, Old Man Tolliver. Women worked at the surface as the pit-brow women of Lancashire and the bal maidens of Cornwall, so the list has names such as Ellen Grundy and Loveday Trevarthen too.

The rest of the 1,000 names leave history behind: dwarven and gnome delvers like Durgan Deepdelve and Nim Pebblepocket for fantasy, and asteroid and deep-core crews like Rig Chief Mara Voss and Belter Quinn for science fiction. These are names for people, not worker names for crypto mining rigs.

How to choose miner names

  • Match the surname to the coalfield or lode. Welsh names fit the valleys of South Wales, Tre-, Pol- and Pen- names fit Cornwall, and Polish, Slovak and Italian names fit the Pennsylvania anthracite towns as well as their home countries.
  • Give a nickname to one or two characters in a crew, not all of them. Pit nicknames came from the work (a lamp, a tool, a job, a seam), so pick one that says what the character does.
  • Titles differ by place: Cornish mines had captains, US coal mines had face bosses and fire bosses, German pits had a Steiger, and British collieries had overmen and deputies. Use the one that fits your setting.
  • For fantasy, pair a short, hard given name with a compound surname built from the work, such as Seamcutter or Lodefinder, and keep gnome names lighter and quicker, like Pip Quartzwhistle.
  • For a space crew, a job title plus a surname (Ore Boss Tanaka, Dock Boss Halloran) reads like a duty roster, and surnames from many countries suit a crew hired from everywhere.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a name sound like a miner?

Mostly the place. Mining names follow the coalfields and ore districts where people worked: Welsh (Idris Treharne), Cornish (Jago Penhaligon), northern English (Seth Earnshaw), Appalachian (Burl Blevins) or Polish (Józef Wójcik). A work nickname or a title such as Pit Boss Hargrove adds the rest.

What were pit-brow women and bal maidens?

Pit-brow women worked at the surface of coal mines, above all around Wigan in Lancashire, sorting and moving coal. Bal maidens did surface work at Cornish tin and copper mines, breaking and dressing ore; bal is a Cornish word for a mine. The list has names for both, such as Hannah Prescott and Tamsin Trebilcock.

Where do nicknames like Blackdamp Bill and Canary Jack come from?

From mining itself. Blackdamp is the miners' word for air with too little oxygen to breathe, firedamp is methane, canaries were carried underground to warn of carbon monoxide, and the Davy lamp is the safety lamp of 1815. Tools and jobs such as a kibble, a mandrel, a trammer or a shotfirer became names the same way.

Can I use these names for dwarves or asteroid miners?

Yes. Fantasy delvers such as Thrum Lodefinder and Belda Rubblefoot are made up in the usual dwarven style for your own characters; a short invented name can always happen to match a character in a published setting. The space names, such as Drill Tech Suri Vandermeer and Tug Captain Emeric Vance, are meant for player characters and crews in any science fiction game.
