Class Landing Page
Generate rogue names for shadow operatives, silver-tongued grifters, guild assassins, street survivors, and anyone who has learned that the best weapon is the one nobody sees coming.
Rogue names in Dungeons & Dragons tend to be short, memorable, and slightly evasive. They often feel chosen rather than inherited, as if the character decided at some point that their birth name belonged to someone they no longer are. The best ones stick in the memory without giving anything away.
That makes rogue naming especially strong for characters built around misdirection, reputation, reinvention, and the particular kind of confidence that comes from knowing exactly how many exits a room has.

Yes. Arcane tricksters can carry more refined, scholarly names that hint at a different life. Assassins benefit from names that sound almost ordinary. Thieves and swashbucklers work well with punchy, street-credible names that travel fast.
Yes. The naming pool produces names that work well for any character whose identity is built around misdirection, reputation management, and knowing when not to be recognized.
Absolutely. The naming pool works equally well for player characters and for guild contacts, fence operators, assassin contractors, and any NPC whose introduction should feel slightly dangerous.
