Example Names
Tiefling naming traditions split into two currents. The first uses Infernal-rooted names passed down through bloodlines tracing a pact made generations prior — names that favor harsh consonants mixed with dramatic vowel sequences. The second, popular among those who reject their heritage, involves choosing a virtue name: Valor, Silence, Resolve. Both traditions are considered equally valid. Neither tells you much about the individual — only what they chose to carry.
How to Pick and Customize Your Name
- Decide early whether your tiefling carries an Infernal bloodline name or a chosen virtue name — the two styles read very differently and mixing them without intent looks like inconsistency.
- Infernal names work best with a dramatic vowel (Draven, Serana, Lorcan) — aim for names that sound weighty when read aloud in a serious tone.
- Virtue names (Valor, Silence, Resolve) are simple to generate: pick an abstract noun that describes either who the character is or who they are trying to become.
- Surnames like Hellforged, Shadowborn, or Flamecrest work as bloodline markers; use them sparingly or they become caricature.
