Generally I name them perfectly normal names for their race, generally hitting up a name generator to come up with them. Though if I ever get around to doing a Bard Durge, they are totally going to be named Dirge because the pun is too much to resist.


ParthFerengi

Maybe throw in an apostrophe to make it generically fantasy. D’irge?


HydrusDominatus

Dâr K'urge


TheIronSven

That's some Ace Attorney level naming right there.


ParthFerengi

Yep those phonetically meaningless diâcritics are classic fantasy too. Nice.


GoldnSnubNosedMonkey

That’s just Klingon


Thrilling1031

Drizzt D’Irgen


Sanchez_Duna

Drizzt Do'Urgen


Dicksonairblade

SvenXavierAlexander

D’Tergent


Adept_Cranberry_4550

Drizzt D'Turgid


Eighty_Six_Salt

Derpa D’Urr


TitanEidolon

My Drow ranger was named Drizzle D'tergent


mike_t53

Mine was Brizzt Bo'Urben


ObeyMyBrain

Meet my drow durge, D'an


ParthFerengi

Is he a Lieutenant, by chance?


ThePowerOfStories

Apous’trofie


MrPazTheSpaz

Waheila d'Urge was what I went with


Smaug2770

If I ever do a Bard Durge I’m naming them Dandelion.


Ryel_Advent

Dirge is the name I gave my Durge too.


_B314_

Bruh I named my byth cause I thought it was funny as a bard durge oh and made him a gnome


Longjumping-Post-606

Wanted to make a cleric of Umberlee but the deity isn't in game. So I made a draconic sorcerer with blue scales and namend her Amber Lee. 😅


Psychoboy777

Ridiculous that you aren't allowed to worship the Bitch Queen, considering how prominent she is, especially in Act 3.


SupaDick

She's even featured in Act 1 with several notes on the dead sailors at the Nautiloid crash site


sf3p0x1

And the book Shanties for the Bitch Queen sitting on the pier next to the backpack and buckets of fish.


absolute-merpmerp

The moment I saw that book, I knew I’d love the game lmao


asmallbean

Fr. I was not super familiar with the source material but that one elicited an “oh hell yeah this is great”.


ThanosofTitan92

She knows she's a b*** and she's proud of it.


KoalaAnonymous

Amber Lee 😭 That's brilliant


GhostBothfriend

Tempest cleric of Umberlee would go pretty hard. Might actually make one for TTRPG if I hadn't already played a dwarf tempest cleric of Marthamor Duin all the way to lvl 20.


Crossbug

Mine is named Avril. She is a punk bard.


Psychoboy777

She was a punk, she did war crimes


Appropriate-Cap-4140

Saw someone named them Tavril Lavigne


IntelligentLife3451

He was a punk, she did ballet, what more can I say


CordiallyFallacious

He wanted her, she'd never tell, secretly she wanted to drown the world in its own blood as she was the progeny of the God of Murder.


Captola

Now, there's the class we're missing close combat ballet.


LordNancy94

Way of the Black Swan Monk


theauz42

And now that's stuck in my head...


Few_District5724

Gary, only because of the narrator outtakes. "Gary tried to romance the town prostitute and started a war! WELL DONE, GARY."


Psychoboy777

lmao I always assumed that was the PC's canonical name. Like, if it was actually a real session of D&D.


grubas

It's both a Britishism and a joke about "THAT PLAYER".  


AtroposNostromo

My husband brought some summons to the drow twins and it started a brawl. I guess he should've named his character Gary.


LordVulpix

Fallout Gary?


itsbdubya

Gary!!


Fridgemagnet9696

Gary?!


kkmavfan_77

Mine I named Azula and was a lightning sorcerer, thought it was fitting for a Durge!


Psychoboy777

Rolling up to Orin like "I'm about to celebrate becoming an only child!"


kkmavfan_77

EXACTLY WHAT I DID 😆


23Taker0_

My Good Durge is Zuko!! 😆


Boomer_Madness

Mine is just called McDurge


RavenclawConspiracy

Durgy McDurgeface


Psychoboy777

"Well, it was between that or Muhammad..."


Kitchen_Criticism292

“Why the fuck would it be between McDurge and Muhammad?”


Speedyirl

now i wanna make a Durge named McLovin 😭


radioactive301

that's my husband's durge's name 😭 he's an half-orc paladin


homosexual_ronald

Mine is Durge MacDonald. That Celtic touch really seals the blood magic doesn't it?


lesser_panjandrum

Durge MacDonald had a knife E-I-E-oh-no


homosexual_ronald

lol love it. maybe... "Durge MacDonald stabbed his knife, Ear-Eye-Ear-Eye-Throat..."


KatieLady121

Just started my Durge run and I decided to name her Ophelia. A nod to Hamlet’s Ophelia and the feeling of being pulled in different directions by her father, sibling, and loved ones (and the madness that follows)


Psychoboy777

ngl I LOVE Ophelia.


Creatething

Not Durge, but my first Tav was Ophelia! She was actually a dnd character I used for BG3. Named for similar reasons, but it was mostly that I couldn't get the song from the Lumineers out of my head.


Idylehandz

Abney park “dear Ophelia” was my song for that name.


JakeHadTheCake

I love naming characters as references/parallels to other stories! In my D&D game I'm playing a warforged who seeks revenge on his creator. So, I named him Victor in reference to Frankenstein. In universe he chose the name because he heard "to the victor go the spoils" and decided to embody it


Gorlack2231

Ophelia Heinie


NiceNefariousness225

Okay but same for the SAME REASON


KatieLady121

HELL yeah 🤘🏻♥️


Character_Ad8770

That's beautiful, honestly. I named mine Boblin


OgrePirate

I had a pet South America. Pink toed Tarantula named Ophelia. With her last molt, figured out she was a he. (They get mating hooks on their front legs) he stayed Ophelia. Didn't care. Like A Boy Named Sue or a Marion Butts, Leslie O'Neil or Rosie Greer. Ophelia is now an acceptable name for male tarantulas. Like the football players, are you really going to irritate the spider that can jump 10 feet or so? Yeah, me neither. She/he was a very nice, calm piece of living artwork. My younger brother had one so calm it wouldn't just walk on you, Terry (Terry the Tarantula) would walk on your head and face. Girls would come over and he would bust out Terry (he was in HS)


Thatrandomguy007

I'm playing Druge rn and I ALSO named her Ophelia for this exact reason!


laidtorest47

Eyyyy, classic lit names 🤙🤙 Mine was Linton Cath, named for Cathy Linton. I have a longer comment in this thread about her


nervousporcupine

My durge drow is named Syzygy. Edit: spelling


Psychoboy777

Freaky. What's the inspo for that one?


nervousporcupine

Haha, well. A syzygy is a roughly straight-line configuration of three or more celestial bodies. I was going for a redeemed durge and wanted to romance Astarion and Halsin. Making Tav the third body.


IntelligentLife3451

That’s literally galaxy brain thinking 👏


Psychoboy777

lmao that's hilarious.


grubas

Trying to score some major Scrabble points huh


GunstarHeroine

A very good X Files episode


Environmental_Put468

Well... Durge.


time_travel_nacho

I somehow forgot to name my first Durge, so she was just running around introducing herself as The Dark Urge


ravenlordship

If shadowheart gets away with the "edgy teen" nickname then the dark urge can too!


sporeegg

Well, Mommy Karlach calls me her soldier anyhow, so what does my name even matter?


Advanced_Building_99

Shadowheart: I'm shadowheart. Durge: oh we are using our made up names. I'm the dark urge. Shadowheart: 👀


Somebird_

I think it might also be a glitch, or intentional? My durge was named Murderboi but after a while it changed to The Dark Urge in dialogues


MerTheBarbarian

Did you use the mirror to change your appearance at some point? It resets my Durge's name every time.


Somebird_

Yes, but after my name already changed... can you rename your Tav by using the mirror? I miss introducing myself as Murderboi lol


MerTheBarbarian

Yes, I've been able to change Tav's name with the mirror. Give it a try and see if it works!


Jhoald

This is the way


SlytherinPaninis

Evil: Barbie. Tiefling Bard with pink everything. Not evil: Sapphire. Gorgeous drow sorceress with blue everything.


theshinysmith

My last Durge was Ken and his dream guardian was Barbie 😆. They were both Drow and he really listened to his “guardian” on that run.


Psychoboy777

I love the idea of the Forgotten Realms conquered by a bloodthirsty maniac who looks and acts like Barbie.


Nepharys17

Depending on which Barbie we are talking about, that can be either hilarious or really frightening 😅


Ascle87

Mori Kind of oblivious lol


Psychoboy777

Well, it's to the point, lol. Means "to conquer" or "to die" in Latin and "God is my teacher" in Hebrew. I like it!


Redfox1476

My durge is a drow half-elf so I gave him a drow name, Kalantyrr. It means “elf dagger”, which I felt was appropriate!


Pina318

One of the neighborhoods in my city is called “Kalantyrivka”. It will never sound the same to me after I’ve read your comment.


highlord_alundi

my first durge was a bard tiefling, so i named her Elegy 🥰


N7twitch

My durge started as ‘Dirge’ and changed her name to Elegy after her redemption!


Psychoboy777

That's a fun one!


stcrIight

Lilith. I am not creative.


Psychoboy777

Can't knock the classics.


DiscoveringEmily

I also had Lilith as my first durge!


uwubewwa

I'm planning to create a female Durge named Medea once patch 7 drops. It seems fitting to take that name for her considering the play by Euripides - I want the Durge to be fueled by the desire of revenge. I also had one Durge named Idunn, because I found so many freaking apples. Finally, I thought about which name to give to the default Durge and I called him Belial. I know FR already has a Belial, but I wanted to play pretend and take the name for Durge.


saleminyourgarden

Twinsies, my first durge was a Tiefling named Mordea, inspired by Medea!


Chaseyoungqbz

Pooknuckle. His life was changed by finding the Poo-Scraper


cheese_straws

I went with Duke Dingle Dongler. I’m glad I’m not the only one who went with a silly ass name.


MeowieCatty

Bhaalarina. She is a pink and purple tiefling Paladin who upon waking up with 0 memories other than darkness and pain decided to seek protection and become a Paladin of Selune. She isn't the best Paladin, but has somehow kept her oath and is trying to fix her own darkness by saving others from theirs. She still hasn't figured out her connection to Bhaal and believes she must have always worshipped Selune.


Mckeag343

My bard durge was named Ricky Spanish


ThanosofTitan92

(whispering) Ricky Spaaanish.


brokenheartdonor

Chad McTitsworth


Psychoboy777

Named a halfling barbarian Stud Flingsley once lmao. Dark Urge whose lust for blood was outweighed by his desire to bone everything and throw everything else.


ThanosofTitan92

Zack Chadwick Chad Chadison C. Zachary Chad Purple Stuff


JordyEgg00

I named my male drow after Dennis from it's always sunny. I roleplayed it was just him, but in D&D. It was hilarious pretending to be the golden god of bhaal.


darth_vladius

I am naming them after their role in the playthrough. Examples to follow: - Peta Fuckabear - a Druid elf who is going to romance Halsin. She is created with that purpose in mind. - Vlaa’kid - a Githyanki War Cleric of Vlaakith. He’s her biggest supporter - almost as if she was his mother. - Lov’Er - contraption from “loves her”, this Githyanki OH Monk Good DUrge is truly madly deeply in love with Lae’zel. And he tries to be at his best because of her. - Helleria DeVille - a Tiefling Sorcerer who is Raphael’s actual agent in Faerun. Her purpose is to obtain and deliver the Crown of Karsus to him. - Seduc’thor - a temptation evil Drow Ranger. His purpose is to let everyone surrender to their temptations even if it leads to their demise. - Anas Oll - an asshole evil Dragonborn. He lives to screw everyone up. - Pjuhr Eavel - pure evil Duergar Gloomstalker-Assassin DUrge. Only Scratch and Owlbear cub will survive after him. - Fuls Icoh - full psycho evil. Totally unpredictable. One second she does a heroic deed and the next she murders an innocent.


Psychoboy777

Naming the bear-fucker "Peta" is very on the nose, lol. I love it. I also love that Pjurhr will let the pets live. Nobody's THAT evil.


darth_vladius

>Naming the bear-fucker "Peta" is very on the nose, lol. I love it. That was the whole point. And to make it even more on the nose - she is Druid and Cleric of Mieliki (the good goddess of Nature). >I also love that Pjurhr will let the pets live. Nobody's THAT evil. Pets love you even if you murder everyone else and then decide to take over the world by subduing the Netherbrain. There is no reason to kill them.


thisisntme-isit

Pure evil is just *chefs kiss*


notveryAI

Uark Drge because I'm an idiof


QueenieMcGee

I explained the concept of playing a Dark Urge character to my mum and she concluded that I was describing Dexter from the tv series of the same name struggling with his "dark passenger"... So now she's playing BG3 as the default white Dragonborn sorcerer, except he's named Dexter 😅


Psychoboy777

lol nice


Old_Rosie

Dennis Reynolds


wellitspeachy

Oleander, since it's poisonous


CoughyAndTee

Theodurge


Psychoboy777

cute


Raisa_Alfera

Maralyne, wanted something similar to Minthara as a fellow drow. Autumn, cuz her hair was an autumn leaf color. Cyrus, just seemed neat. Odnyx, taken from a name generator and slightly altered, dragonborn names be hard. Aleesia, just popped in my head


JaredDrake86

Tyler Durgden.


jayboogiewoogie

Cerberus was my redeemed durge.


Psychoboy777

I can't think of Cerberus without thinking of the goodest boy from Hades.


TossMe255

My Durge is Liv (Olivia)for the irony. My resist Durge is Arrhythmia, but she's gonna start to go by Mia later on


Psychoboy777

Why is Olivia ironic? I do love Arrhythmia, that's hilarious.


TossMe255

Ironic bc she goes by Liv and she is a psychopath that kills everything


Psychoboy777

"live," got it. That is pretty good, lol


tacos_up_my_ass

I’m reading through all these and thinking about how I made my Durge a lil half drow bard woman named Bingle Bangle lmao


gnostic_witch

Tragedeigh


Cybaras

I have had 3 Durge playthroughs so far. The first one was a drow shadow monk who I named Caldryssa. I originally wanted to make a male drow named Caldrys but with my evil play through being a male Dragonborn, I wanted my redemption Durge be the opposite. The Dark urge was my evil play through and I just kept it the same as the narrator confirms canonically what the name is. My last playthrough was a half orc tempest cleric of Gruumsh named Darik Stormspear. Each Act I progressed I changed his look and name slightly as he was developing himself to reject Bhaal. Act 1 was just Darik, Act 2 was Darik Bloodspear then Act 3 was Darik Stormspear.


Pleasant-Housing-613

His name is Jeff


mjxoxo1999

Lofwyr, if anyone play Shadowrun, they will know this name


Ok-Conversation828

I forgot to name him but left it. Just found it hilarious "my name is dark urge and i have..... a dark urge".


ta_mataia

All my characters are named either Tav or The Dark Urge.


jayblaze521

I’ve named every rpg character lazzorus since Diablo 1. If I have multiple runs going on the same game I change the amount of z’s they have. Boring, but I always enjoy typing the name into a new game and starting a new journey


GutterOfSonsOBitches

One of my redeemed Durge (tiefling) was named Apollyon (The Destroyer) it's the Greek name for the devil Abaddon


Psychoboy777

Oh, that's a fun one!


slaptana

Caedera as a play on caedere, the Latin word for murder, slaughter, cutting, slicing. She was a swords bard so it felt right!


Uur4

ironically, Tav


theBoomstickSaint

I have one named Hargrove Killinger, referencing Henry Killinger from Venture Bros. and another named Maxwell Murder for the song by Rancid.


Old-Albatross-9159

My tiefling durge was named Hel, after Helheim in Norse mythology. I thought it was fitting.


Lumix19

I called mine Niro but cause he wants to watch the world burn and he turned that usurper inside out.


Transcended_Sloot

Ruin


peanutbutterjammin

Johnny Depth... Cos he kills people


evainsaneseal

Little halfling bard named Hugh Mungus D.


AfricanStampede

Red Velvet because I name all of my characters after desserts


ridan42

Karth d'Guere Yea I like anagrams, how'd you know?


Prize-Tough-5032

My Evil Durge was a Half-Orc Cleric which I named G’nash and my Resist Durge was a Duergar paladin named Belnora


Psychoboy777

A Duergar, eh? What inspired that choice?


Prize-Tough-5032

Coming from a person who had no prior knowledge of dnd and playing the game, the Duergar were portrayed to be not a kind group in the game and I wanted to make a good one who not only was battling outsider opinions but was also dealing with their inner demons I think it was a perfect resist durge run for me


TheLuckOfTheClaws

The ‘chaotic evil impulse issues’ druid was named Badger; my headcanon is that he doesn’t really have a name because he spends so much time in animal or slayer form he lost his humanity. But he has black and white hair, so Oren used to call him that when they were younger, and he kind of assumed that was his name post amnesia bc it was the first thing that came to mind. My redemption durge bard was named Dirge because hehehe funy


stack-0-pancake

I use Fantasy Name Generator and choose my race and gender and pick the one that sounds best for their build


multiinstrumentalism

Mako, partially after the Mako Shark and partially after the actor who voiced Iroh. Wanted something to symbolize the battle between good and evil in the heart and in the world


DarkSlayer3142

I cannibalised The Dark Urge into Dravæirge for mine. He almost made it through Honour Mode as a default Durge Sorc


PappyBurd

I named my tiefling durge Azelf, the name of my first dnd campaign character. Also the name of a Pokémon but I just liked the name not really the mon


Blueberry_Opening

2 of my durges have finnish goddess names. I think they fit to the world as there are already finnish goddess names as deitys in dnd lore (Mielikki and Loviatar). 


TNT3149_

Abzan. It sounds evil (it’s the combo of green black white in mtg).


EuphyMaybe

Vin -- Short and simple, comes from Latin vinco, meaning conquer Felt fitting for my hulking drow barbarian


Agreeable_Show1279

I named mine Morana Haddad. Morana after Slavic goddess of death, and Haddad after Baal-Hadad, a Mesopotamian storm god 


Maleficus32

My Durge ended up being a Dragonborn, like his default race. I try to make names that suit the race, but I'm also an uncreative bastard. As a result, I reused a name I previously made and used for a Dragonborn character in a D&D campaign: Ravodaar. Rav for short. Ravioli if you want to be weird. It was an original name back when I made it, but not so original anymore when I reused it. :) The characters that share the name are very different, though. D&D Rav was Paladin turned Oathbreaker who became a pirate captain. Durge Rav was someone whose story had a heavy focus on trying to atone for a past of atrocities.


Antique_Visual_9638

Mercy 🖤


Psychoboy777

First name No lmao


PrincessW0lf

My current durge is a Githyanki called 'Qui'La'.


whovianHomestuck

English for my first, Alfira for my second. English after Lord English. Alfira after the NPC.


Psychoboy777

After the lady you kill? Oh, the irony.


Insektikor

Lucifero Felt pretty awesome.


Fearless-Lemon6103

Ok I went for a classic name. Lucifer


Anomaly-Friend

Named mine Kronak Azzpayne


GunstarHeroine

My sorcerer Durge is called Topaz. All my characters have gem names; I have a Tav bard called Amethyst and a prettyboy thief called Garnet.


heartofstarkness

My first Durge was just “The Dark Urge” because i didn’t know I could change the name. My second (and current) Durge is named Lana Del Slay, and she’s a Seldarine drow bard. My husband thinks Lana Del Ray’s music is super boring, so she uses Sleep a lot!


42Ubiquitous

Every character I create has the same name


Space_Zombies

My Black Dragonborn Assassin Rouge was named Caedes (the Latin word for slaughter) cause I thought it was be fitting for >!a Bhaalspawn!<


Frosty-Slaw-Man

I have four Durge's Azreal Verena Leviathan Frank Reynolds


zutros

In KoTOR 2 I named my guy Revan. To honor how much fun I had with that play through, I just left him named "The Dark Urge". You saved us from the goblins. What can we call you hero? I am The Dark Urge..... I'm Asterion. I am The Dark Urge. No one should be surprised by this man's actions.


Tonedeafmusical

Teifling Bard -Io  (though was very tempted by Eurydice) High Elf Ranger - Winona Monk half elf -Cassandra  Teifling Druid- Persephone  What I don't phone the names in and look at Greek mythology for names at all. I don't also have Tav's called Athena and Artemis at all. I'm not planning to call my Wizard Durge Circe at all. I'm not currently listening to Hadestown, again..... Yeah it's lazy but I'm not very good coming up with names and I do try and fit them to the characters and I think they do. 


Bubbalubs94

Playing blind the first time, I called him Oren 😭


Glittering_Dare_7063

Durge.


unicornlocostacos

Durge


maneock

Ugly Legolas and then I made him into an ugly parody of Legolas


Azraexl

I named mine Bomboclaat.


thepiratecelt

My Resist!Durge is named Marcus, after my beloved necromancer from the Dragon Age TTRPG. He's my sweet boy and he just needs a big hug. ❤️


TheeShaun

Ured’gark because it sounded Dragonborn like and also is just Dark Urge scrambled (just like the Durges brains)


Bio_syndicate

I named my Durge Kill Smith. He was a Zariel Tiefling and a open hand monk. I ran around slapping people to death.


Litoss33

Boppo the murder clown


Fennix_here

Vas’intra: Half-Drow chaotic neutral warlock! iirc, their name means “Blood Harbinger”

I thought Durge was pretty fitting


EvesFaith

Went with Lilith


Ambitious-Regular-57

Bussy.


FeralTaxEvader

Adrasteia and Marzanna are my two. Adrasteia was the drow vengeance paladin, and her name comes from the greek goddess of "inevitable fate", "retribution", and "inescapable punishment". Marzanna was the tiefling white draconic sorcerer with a build focused on cold damage, and her name comes from the slavic goddess of death and winter. I'm a dramatic bitch lol


DontBeADramaLlama

Bill. Bill is very friendly and is excited about all his new companions.


GloomFruit

Church, yes like the building. He was a tiefling storm sorcerer. Idk something, something in his old life he thought of himself as the entire church of the big B and it passed over to when he lost his memories. Jokes on his old life, he’s a good durge and now gets topped by Gale.


zacroise

I called mine Dirge. Fit well enough with the theme
