Changeling naming is unique among D&D races as it reflects their shapeshifting nature and complex relationship with identity. A changeling typically has a true name used only among their own kind or trusted companions, which often describes a core aspect of their personality or a defining moment. These names are usually simple concepts like 'Shift,' 'Form,' or 'Face.' Beyond this, changelings develop personas - complete identities with appropriate names for different situations. A single changeling might be Thomas the merchant, Elara the bard, and Grimjaw the mercenary. Some changelings become so attached to certain personas that those names become more real than their true names. In changeling communities, names might reference famous personas or transformation concepts.
