    Crafting Human Cleric Names

    Naming Best Practices

    • Human clerics often keep birth names but add religious titles or epithets
    • Names might reflect the human culture: Germanic, Celtic, Romance, etc.
    • Many adopt saint names or names of religious significance upon ordination
    • Consider how human adaptability influences their religious expression
    • Names can combine cultural heritage with their deity's influence
    • Human clerics might translate their names into celestial or ancient tongues
    • Conversion stories often influence naming - dramatic changes for dramatic conversions
    • Family religious traditions might pass down specific clerical names
    • Urban human clerics often have more formal names than rural ones

    Human Faith and Naming

    Human clerics embody the adaptability of their race in their naming practices. Unlike other races with rigid religious traditions, human clerical naming varies dramatically by region, deity, and personal journey. In structured churches, humans often receive formal religious names during ordination, frequently choosing names of saints, martyrs, or theological concepts. Rural human clerics might simply add 'Brother' or 'Sister' to their birth names, maintaining connection to their communities. Humans' shorter lifespans lead to more dramatic conversion stories, with corresponding name changes: a former thief becoming 'Brother Redemption.' Human clerics serving non-human deities often adopt names from those traditions, showing humanity's cultural flexibility. Noble-born human clerics might hyphenate family names with religious ones, balancing earthly and divine heritage. The diversity of human clerical names reflects humanity's position as the most numerous and varied faithful, with each culture contributing its own traditions to the great tapestry of divine service.
