Tips for Better Names
- The best rogue names are short enough to be an alias — "Pike", "Nix", "Crow". One syllable is a feature, not a shortcut.
- A trade-descriptive second name ("Quickfingers", "Nine-Locks", "Hollowpocket") tells the table what your rogue is actually good at.
- Generate two: a street name and a real one. Deciding who gets which is most of the fun of playing a rogue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should a rogue have more than one name?
It suits the class better than almost any other. A street alias plus a real name gives you something to protect and something to spend.
Do rogue names have to sound criminal?
No. An unremarkable name is arguably a rogue's best asset, and plenty of rogues are scouts, spies, or investigators rather than thieves.

About Rogue Name Generator
Rogues often go by names other than the ones they were born with. Aliases, street names, and underworld monikers help protect their true identities while building their reputation in shadowy circles.
A rogue's name might suggest their specialty: Quickfingers for a pickpocket, Whisper for an assassin, or Lucky for a gambler.
