I'm developing a small game mod and I need gritty, realistic barbarian names that match a brutal, survival-focused setting. Random name tools often feel too generic, so Ive been browsing curated lists of barbarian names instead.
One site I found organizes barbarian names by theme and inspiration, which seems helpful. Before I integrate anything, I wanted to ask if anyone has experience using similar barbarian names resources for games or mods. Any advice would be great.

Resources that organize barbarian names by theme or inspiration are particularly useful. They let you create consistent naming conventions for factions, regions, or enemy types, which makes the world feel intentionally designed rather than procedurally filled. Ive used similar curated lists in mods to define clans and NPC groups, and players actually noticed the difference. My advice is to pick one or two naming styles per culture and stick with them throughout the mod. Consistency in barbarian names goes a long way toward immersion and realism.
