Rodian Name Generator

Rodians are the green, antennaed hunters of Rodia, best known through Greedo, the bounty hunter Han Solo shot in the Mos Eisley cantina. Their names follow a recognisable pattern across the films, The Clone Wars, Rebels and the Legends novels. Given names are short and often carry a doubled vowel or a soft 'ee' or 'oo' sound – Greedo, Wald, Beedo, Neela, Tseebo, Chido, Kelko – usually one or two syllables ending in a vowel or a crisp k or d.

Surnames, where they appear, swing the other way and are frequently long and rolling: Doda Bodonawieedo and Greeata Jendowanian of the Max Rebo Band, Avaro Sookcool, Andoorni Hui, Onaconda Farr the Senator of Rodia and his aide Lolo Purs. Rodian society is organised into clans – Tetsus, Chattza and the Bomu are named in the lore – so a character can also be identified as 'Neeka of the Chattza' or given a hunter's epithet like Navik the Red, whose Legends nickname commemorated a bloody clan feud.

Because Rodian culture prizes the Hunt, epithets that record a kill count, a signature weapon or a physical feature (One-Antenna, Sureshot, Twice-Paid) fit the species better than lofty titles. Combine a short given name, an optional long clan surname and a nickname to get names that sit comfortably beside Greedo and Onaconda Farr in a Star Wars story or tabletop campaign.
