So far after spending all night doing lots of research, I present to you the following options:
Carlisle Rib
Barley Barber Muskeg (named after a real swamp in Florida)
Mukurash Atrag Corimir (but he goes by Mac)
Help me name my character!
I'm on Reddit now (lol) and my second post is about my DND character, but I figured Tumblr might have some good suggestions too so I thought I'd crosspost here. If you don't want to click the link the text is as follows:
We're doing a modified version of the Curse of Strahd and my original character (who I hated anyway lol) recently died. I have everything ready for the new character (who I'm super excited to roleplay) EXCEPT the name. I randomly generated a name but I'm attached to this character now and want to come up with a better one before he's introduced to the campaign. Anyway, here are his highlights:
- Half-orc who looks human except he's got red eyes
- Scholarly background, which causes him to be estranged from his orc fellows because he's basically a giant nerd. He's also hella socially awkward
- Chaotic Evil alignment. I know this is hard to roleplay but basically he wants to be a lich. For anyone who doesn't know what that means (I didn't until my DM told me) basically he seeks knowledge above all else, including morals and humanity. For this game, my character wants to learn everything about everything and that especially includes vampires. Which means he will do whatever it takes to kill and do an autopsy on the most famous vampire, Strahd. Which aligns his goals with the party's goals
- Class is Druid, specifically (and here's my favorite part) a Swamp Druid. Which I've decided means he's got a Southern accent. I would do a Louisiana accent but I can't do that very well so I'm doing a Texan accent.
- He's got high strength bc I'm trying to be the party's tank (We've already got a cleric and a sorcerer so spells are minor) but otherwise has pretty average stats
His name currently is Dormak and the more I look at it the more I hate it so any ideas would be super helpful! Plus if you've got any suggestions for how I could play this character (I'm trying to come up with southern idioms I can whip out lol) or general comments those would also be welcome :) but no spoilers about the campaign, please! This is my first campaign that's gone longer than 2 sessions and I want an immersive experience lol
TL;DR: I have a half-orc nerd who comes from a swamp and I've gotten attached to him and need a good name that fits instead of the randomly generated name he has now

The Once Great Forests of Indiantown
FPL cooling pond east of Lake Okeechobee, Indiantown, was once a gigantic cypress forest. April 21, 2023 – Ed Lippisch. Even though I am obsessed with water, my first love is trees. Because the trees are gone we forget that deforestation was occurring at the same time as the building of the St Lucie Canal – and was equally destructive. Because the cypress and pine forests of our area were logged…

Killing the Heart of Barley Barber Swamp
Photographed on eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee, Florida. May 1917. https://www.floridamemory.com/items/show/49347 Every time I post, I learn something. After reading “The Once Great Forests of Indiantown,” Stuart’s multi-generational resident, and dear friend of my mother, wrote: “Jacqui, about 1968-9 my 4 hunting buddies and I went hunting in Indiantown in the Barley Swamp, there were huge…
