Tips for Better Names
- Virtue names show rejection of infernal heritage
- Infernal names embrace the darkness
- Tieflings have three naming routes: an infernal name, a name from the culture that raised them, or a virtue name they chose themselves. Pick the route before the name.
- Virtue names work best when the virtue is slightly off — "Recompense", "Unpaid", "Quiet Verdict" — because a tiefling chooses one as a statement about how they are treated.
- If you go infernal, keep it to three syllables. Longer infernal names stop being sayable in combat.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are tiefling virtue names?
Virtue names are concepts like Glory, Hope, or Excellence that tieflings choose to represent ideals they aspire to, often rejecting their infernal heritage.
Why do some tieflings have virtue names?
A tiefling who rejects an inherited infernal name often takes a word describing what they intend to be instead. It is the most characterful naming option the race has, and it works in any setting.
Should a tiefling name sound demonic?
Only if the character wants it to. A tiefling raised in a human city may have a completely ordinary local name, and the mismatch between name and appearance is usually more interesting than a fiendish one.
