Stealthy names fit for a cunning character…
I like thematic and slightly over the top names, I don’t think there is a benefit to using mundane names when playing ttrpgs. That would probably be most realistic, since people don’t name their kids after their hypothetical fantasy profession. But if we want realism we wouldn’t be playing a fantasy ttrpg in the first place. That’s why I think character names should primarily be thematic and cool, fitting the character so to say.
In the spirit of that, below is a D66 table with 72 Rogue names, 36 male and 36 female variants, with both first and last name, all meant to evoke a sly, cunning and rogueish vibe. So if you are creating a new rogue character to infiltrate The Serpent Cult or “explore” the Temple district of Baldurs Gate, you should hopefully find what you are looking for.
