Remember the Orc naming traditions if you want them to be consistent with the lore.

Male:
[Name] Gro-[patronymic surname]

Female:
[Name] Gra-[matronymic surname]

Hello.

I am Gortnok, an Orc recently arrived from Cyrodiil, and am wondering why you or your parents lack the imagination to name yourself.
Perhaps you are an elf in disguise? A Thalmor spy?
Either way, if you aint big and tough and ugly, you might as well call yerself Nigel and wear a pretty little dress, because you aint gonna last long in Skyrim my friend!

Clearly, with a name like that, I highly doubt you're an Orc yourself! Not a true one at least.

Nice choice!

Mines ghazkgull. I think that's the right spelling, can never remember which way round the g and k go...

OP: Letz gro-bugarum

Fenris

Which is so far from orc you can come, since its a semi god from Norse lore

I went with Krognak.

Just seems to sound pretty brutal.

Well no, sigh, I am role-playing an Orc for the first time.
I bought oblivion back in '06, and have put in 1000's of hours but have never played an orc before.
It's fun!

And I am sick and tired of people naming there Orcs from the Tolkien tales.
(Shagrat is a great name though)
I do believe in Tolkiens "theory" that Orcs (and Hobbits) have survived to this very day in ourselves however, so perhaps i'm just being pendantic.

My favorite is Atub from largashbur. I think I will make an orc named Adoor, or maybe Atoilet.
