About dragonborn names

In Dungeons & Dragons, Dragonborn names are immersed in tradition, blending elements of harshness and melody, much like the humanoid dragons they represent.

Dragonborn personal names are a blend of harsh tones and guttural accents. Males often have names like Arjhan, Ghesh, or Mehen, while females might be named Akra, Heskan, or Shyvana.

Dragonborn also carry a clan name, which symbolizes their familial ties and lineage. These names are passed down through generations and it is an honor to carry the name of one's clan. It represents the history, reputation, and collective identity of the Dragonborn's family. Clan names are usually long, multi-syllable words,  often based in Draconic language.

An interesting aspect of Dragonborn names is that they tend to sound harsh to other races, as they come from a language that sounds forceful and contains many hard consonants. However, Dragonborn names can also be quite melodic, often containing strong vowels and softened consonants. This is a reflection of the dual nature of the Dragonborn, a race known for its ferocity and strength, but also for its nobility, pride, and cultural richness.

Given this, when creating Dragonborn names, it's important to think about the history, culture, and language of the Dragonborn, as well as the individual characteristics of the character you're naming.
