Well, my guess was right. One Dwarf against the world.. indeed, it was something I read early on that really caught my interest as well...

[Jamini]

I must agree that Thob is a name that does come to mind when I think of common "DF" names.

Kibish also is fairly familier to me.

[Chaos]

Hm! I never read One Dwarf Against the World when it was first written but going through it now was certainly worthwhile (nostalgic to see the 2D version again, maybe I should reread Boatmurdered next). As for names I never was very good at giving attention to individual dwarves...

[Dwarmin]

I like the name Mofol, because way way back in the 2D version, somone had a pet dog named "Mofol Sainthammer"-I cant remember the Dwarven translation...but of course it was the best wardog ever, rushing to save his master from a trog attack, and killing about half a dozen. Killing an insane Dwarf baring down in a helpless child. He was also tackling Goblins in full armor and ripping out their throats. Like every wardog he ended up mangled by arrows, but he could still walk, so I retired him.  :cool:

[Furious Fish]

Tekkud always seems to be a badass in my fortresses, whether he's a plate-armoured axedwarf, a legendary miner, or just an absurdly experienced clerk or something who wanders around KO-ing passing goblin thieves with one punch.

I'd say Vadum (VAH-doom-the way I pronounce it) (I saw a dwarf named that once). And my fort seems to share a cmmon name, the first to becom legendary-Urist, forst to have a mood-another Urist, first to go berserk-the same Urist, first to die in a siege-ANOTHER Urist, and it's annoying the hell out of me, especially since I get Urist is struck down, I have to wonder which.

[critical miracle]

I vote for Zuglad and Vabok . My fortress currently has 2 of each. No Urists.

[gurra_geban]

In the cold war, the name of all russians were Ivan.

In df the name would be Urist

[Orkel]

Don't forget Stukos!

[Bien]

Gah! Now I have around 25 Urists!

[Asehujiko]

I blame one dwarf against the world too.

[umiman]

I've had a lot of Nils, Dastots and Bomreks, but not a lot of Urists unfortunately.

I'm starting to think Dwarven names make much more sense if the family name was reversed like Asian names. There are nearly countless family names in Dwarf Fortress, but only so many first names (which is kinda the opposite of how it should be).

[frostedfire]

What about Mesbuth?  Least that's what I use for dwarven examples.

I think it has somethign to do with oars...

[Kagus]

In India, there are over a billion people, and five names.

Bobby, Reddy, Satya, Krishna, Srinivas.

[Lyrax]

I like the name Monom.  I'm almost surprised it hasn't come up.

My Monom was a woodcutter from my first fort who lost a child due to goblin snatchers (she was, like, three spaces from the edge of the map!), had at least one miscarriage, and lost her other children and husband to goblin invaders.

She never threw a tantrum.
