    Forging Ranger Names

    Naming Best Practices

    • Ranger names often reference nature, animals, or geographical features
    • Many rangers earn names from notable hunts or the territories they protect
    • Names might indicate their favored enemy (Orcbane, Giantslayer, Trollhunter)
    • Consider names that evoke movement and tracking (Strider, Tracker, Pathfinder)
    • Rangers from specific regions often have names reflecting that terrain
    • Animal companions might influence naming (Wolfriend, Bearwhisperer)
    • Some rangers use names that help them blend into wilderness communities
    • Surnames often reference their home region or a defining characteristic
    • Rangers who protect specific areas might be known by their territory

    Ranger Naming Traditions

    Rangers often receive their true names through deeds rather than birth. Many begin with common names but earn epithets through their service to nature and civilization's borderlands. In ranger conclaves, members might receive names marking significant achievements - first solo hunt, discovery of new territories, or successful defense against threats. Rangers who specialize in specific terrains often incorporate elements of that environment: mountain rangers might be 'Stonestep' or 'Peakwatcher,' while forest rangers could be 'Mosswalker' or 'Greenbough.' Those who form bonds with animal companions frequently take names honoring that relationship. Urban rangers protecting city boundaries might have names reflecting both wilderness and civilization. The most respected rangers often have names that have become synonymous with the regions they protect.
