Tips for a name that sticks
Harsh sounds read as evil
Hard consonants and clipped syllables — 'Vex', 'Grimroth', 'Azgoth' — feel more sinister than soft, flowing names. Lean into K, G, TH and Z sounds.
A title tells the legend
'The Devourer', 'Lord of Ash', 'the Nameless' — an epithet hints at what the demon did to earn its reputation. Save titles for named antagonists, not minions.
Keep the true name speakable
Even a dread name gets said every session. Two or three syllables at the core keeps it usable at the table while still sounding ancient and wrong.
