List Of Dwarven Names.

BLOOD AXE

Greetings!

Lets get a list of Dwarf names. Ones you've made yourself,from books you've read,etc. But DWARF names. Have them at least sound somewhat "dwarfy" please. No "nacho-chip" or "stiffy",etc.,etc. You get what I mean. Proper Dwarf names,not nonsense.
This might even help new members of the Brewery pick a Dwarf name.
Add your names to the Dwarf roster.

Cheers!

They have a nice list of male and female Dawi names in the WHFRP Book: Dwarfs Stone and Steel. I choose from this list as well as the dictionary they have in the book and in the codex's.

My name is Magnund, and my older brother is Gorek. Our dad was Falgrim, and his dad was Janek. My father-in-law is Morden.

Alfginnar Oakenshield

As far as I'm concerned, the Library holds a nice lengthy article on dwarf names. I've used it many a time when I tinker up names for my characters.

aggraae

I found a program many years ago that was called "Name Mage"( can be found on http://www.mapmage.com/ it alot of RPG stuff ) so i found the perfect name for my General Glonar, then i want all my chars to have "son" lastnames like Glonar Grodriksson, then i have Loignar Gebursson, Boigan Grudgewriter Talirsson, Thorgni Bodilsson. Well if you have trouble with names try download nameMage pretty usefull program( you also find Elf, Human, Orc names if you want 😛)

The only named character i have is B.A Baracus but this topic will help me create names for my other heroes.

Ironmonger

For those who spell it Dwarfs: Hey what about; Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, and Bashful.

Could be worse. Disney also considered*; Blabby, Jumpy, Shifty, Snoopy, Scrappy, Cranky, Dirty, Awful, Silly, Daffy, Flabby, Jaunty, Biggo Ego, Chesty, Bald, Gabby, Nifty, Sniffy, Burpy, Lazy, Puffy, Dizzy, Stuffy and Tubby.

At least they didn't think of Daft. :thank_you2:

according to Wikepedia

Ironmonger- Thanks for the example of exactly what I did NOT want in this thread! :biggrin:

Doesn't Firmshaft have a character named "Stiffy"? If not, he should.

Well, that's what they are: Dwarfs. Says so right on the army book. Maybe in some other game or piece of fiction races like these are called 'dwarves', but in the Warhammer Universe these short bearded guys who like to hang out underground are called Dwarfs. Anyone spelling it any other way is spelling it wrong.

These are some of my characters, members of the Pipemaker's Guild.

Wheggi Longtoker = Lord of the Hold
Stoney Bowlshaper = Thane
Torm Mellowblend = Runesmith
'Smokin' Skori Pipebender = Master Engineer
Turg Tonguebite = Dragonslayer

Durin the Young

Pretty easy option is take a family name, my army is that of Alriksson then add dwarfy first names.
Durin (lord)
Gotrek (Thain)
Snorri (Dragon Slayer)
Thorin (Runelord)
and so on.......

Durin the Young

The dwarfs of my hold are a dynaste. Frin Ironbuckle I is dead Frin Ironbuckle II is a runelord Frin Ironbuckle III is a lord Frin the IV is a lord and Frin the VI is a runesmith. The rulers of my hold are one big happy family :i-m_so_happy: .

Professor Tolkein wrong! The heretic! Get the kindling, the rope, the matches, don't forget the marshmallows. Who are you going to believe, the author of the greatest work of fantasy fiction ever (and Oxford professor of ancient English and Germanic languages), or a bunch of blokes in Nottingham whose highest level of intellectual acheivment is thinking of new reasons for adittional price increases? :diablo:

If your going to say dwarfs instead of dwarves then you should say elfs instead of elves.

My thane is Razal Dragonbane (female), leader of a throng set up around a forge near the north of the worlds edge mountains.

The dragon slayer is yet unnamed but hopefully i can get some inspiration from here. I was thinking of Skorrig Ironbite.

Arklite
