My Orc Hunter will be called Borbog Gro-Gakh. It's a mix of names I found on that name generator site.

Regarding the third part of the name, Lady Rogbut gra-Shurgak is the daughter of Lord Rugdumph gro-Shurgak in Oblivion. I took that to mean that the third part is a family surname.

I am currently playing an Orc called Dash Dro-Dur... That was before I learned that it should be Gro, not Dro... So I made up a story that he had an Imperial friend in the army who always named him Dash Dro-Dur and he sort of took that name on for fun :)

Huh, looks like I was wrong. Then, I guess it is the last name, after checking the journal for the gray prince.

How do you know his mother wasn't named Malog.

Considering that he's a bastard I don't think he'd take his anonymous father's name.

EDIT: I'ts First Name gro-Last Name. Not First Name-gro Last Name. Get it together, people.

Litt from the UESP wiki:

"Orc family names are always prefixed depending on gender, "gro-" for males, and "gra-" for females, and are followed by the father's or mother's name, depending on gender."

Male name gro-fathers name.

Female name gra-mothers name.

The Grey Prince was an exception because he was a bastard I'm guessing.

That's it, mine would be Tim gro-John.
But if you have a sister that'd be "her name" gra-"your mothers name".
