Forging Your Dwarf Name

When naming a dwarf, ask yourself:

Does the name reflect their profession or clan heritage?
Should it use hard consonants and earthy vowels?
Will a double syllable or single-syllable fit their backstory?
Does it convey strength, craftsmanship, or resilience?
How would it sound echoing through the halls?
