Using my real name: Elven - Vardamelion Hobbit - Ilberic Chubb from Grindwall Dwarven - Garin Deathleg Orkish - Sniktakh the Blaktooth Hey, these are pretty similar to **Kallessa**!

I’m a Daring Orcling. None of the names I got strike me as having quite the sizzle one would hope for. Well, the Orc name is “Globgash the Basher”; that’s not bad. Except that I’m not an Orc. I’m an Orcling. A daring one, even. Why does the word “Orcling” conjure in my imagination visions of a baby warthog singing “I’m a little teapot”? ---

> [@](#): > > from _Kilt-wearin’ Man_ > Hmmm…I have my doubts…These were all cut-and-pasted directly from the results I got for each name… They may be more accurate than you think. Look at these! **William Jefferson Clinton** was a Talented Orc **Hillary Clinton** was a Miruvor-drinking Barrow-wight **George W. Bush** was a Drunken Warg **Al Gore** was a Illiterate Meara (his Orc name is **Urkrot the Straggler** ). These all seem pretty apt. 😉 ---
