    Naming Best Practices

    • •Tiefling names often reflect their infernal heritage with harsh consonants and exotic sounds
    • •Virtue names (Hope, Glory, Despair) are common for tieflings who reject their heritage
    • •Consider mixing human names with infernal elements for unique combinations
    • •Names can reflect the tiefling's relationship with their heritage - embracing or rejecting it

    • •Family names might be human, infernal, or adopted from their community

    Tiefling Naming Traditions

    Tieflings inherit names from their human ancestry mixed with infernal influences. Many choose virtue names representing ideals they aspire to or reject. Their names often carry the weight of prejudice, leading some to adopt aliases. In different D&D settings, tiefling naming conventions vary: in the Forgotten Realms, they might have names from any human culture, while in other settings they may favor more exotic or infernal-sounding names. The choice of name often reflects the tiefling's personal journey and relationship with their heritage.
