Generate World of Warcraft rogue names, each one word that fits the 12-letter character screen: SI:7-style humans like Corwin and Jessamy, elf names like Saelith and Shalyssa, goblin names like Snipwick, plus poison, pirate and shadow names such as Belladonna, Cutlass and Shadeveil.

About WoW rogue names

A World of Warcraft rogue name is a single word of 2 to 12 letters with no spaces or digits, so every entry in this list is written the way you would type it at the character screen. The class has a clear house style in the lore. Garona, Valeera, Mathias Shaw, Edwin VanCleef, Lilian Voss and Fleet Admiral Tethys all carry short, plain names that a spymaster could say quietly. Stormwind's SI:7 agents sound English and unremarkable on purpose, which is why Corwin, Hadley and Jessamy suit a human or Gilnean rogue.

The list mixes three kinds of name. Race names: Saelith and Sythriel for blood elves and void elves, Shalyssa and Naivara for night elves, Gravelle and Cadwyn for Forsaken Deathstalkers, Snipwick and Razzle for goblins and gnomes, Grashka and Razgor in the Shattered Hand manner, plus troll, pandaren, vulpera and dwarf names. Spec names: poisons and venomous plants for Assassination (Belladonna, Oleander, Aconite), ship and cutlass words for Outlaw (Rumrunner, Grapeshot, Broadside) and shadow words for Subtlety (Shadeveil, Duskveil, Nightkris). The third kind is tradecraft: blades like Misericord and Kukri, and Ravenholdt and Defias flavored names like Ravenkeep and Redmask.

A few lore names and game terms aside, these are fan-made names, and a small share are jokes such as Stabsworth and Sapmagnet.

How to choose WoW rogue names

Pick the race sound first. Hadley or Corwin reads as an SI:7 agent, Saelith as a Silvermoon blade and Grashka as Shattered Hand; a mismatch stands out most on a roleplay realm.
Let the spec show only if you plan to stay in it. Belladonna suits Assassination and Cutlass suits Outlaw, while a plain name like Jessamy or Cadwyn survives every respec.
The obvious words (Shadow, Stealth, Stab) are usually the first to go on a busy realm. Try a rarer word for the same idea, such as Misericord for a dagger or Tenebris for darkness, and test the name in game yourself.
Keep it easy to type. Guildmates invite and whisper by name, so a short name without accented letters saves trouble in a raid.
Save the joke names for an alt. Sapmagnet is funny in a battleground and less so after two hundred hours on a main.

Frequently asked questions

What are the rules for a WoW rogue name?

A character name is one word of 2 to 12 letters with no spaces, digits or symbols, and two characters on one realm cannot share it. Every name in this list is written in that form, from Skiv to Shroudwalker. Whether a name is still free on your realm is something only the character screen can tell you.

Which names in the list come from Warcraft lore?

A small group are lore names used as style anchors: Garona, Valeera, Vancleef, Tethys, Jorach, Fahrad, Renzik and Taoshi. The list also uses words from the game itself as names: abilities such as Mutilate, Garrote and Eviscerate, and place and faction words such as Deadmines, Moonbrook and Uncrowned. Everything else is fan-made in the style of the setting, and this site has no connection to Blizzard. Names of major characters are usually long gone on a busy realm, so treat them as examples of the sound to aim for.

Does the list cover every race?

It has names in human, Gilnean, blood elf, void elf, night elf, Forsaken, goblin, gnome, orc, troll, pandaren, vulpera and dwarf styles, with a few tauren and draenei names. Which races can be rogues has changed between expansions, so check the character screen for your version of the game.

Are there funny rogue names here?

A few, such as Stabsworth, Wasnthere and Sapmagnet, but fewer than one in ten. This is the serious, race-flavored list, and the funny rogue name generator on this site is the page built for puns.
