I think the fluff or setting might have a lot to do with the name. Like if it's a member of a barbarian tribe with some rogue tenancies they might very well be called a scout or ranger or skirmisher.

What sort of ethnic background does he have? I like Unther, if he's the nordic type. Or he could be Urgarne, if he's more ... I dunno, an eldritch barbarian? If you want something that's actually nordic, I had a barbarian called Ravn Skulke (Ravn is raven - Skulke is to shirk, he was a barbarian priest of Loki, hence much given to make others do the hard work).

Olm is good - it basically means angry.

All sorts of arabic names are cool for desert barbarians. Hazaf bin Hassad al Qirrum, prince of the horse tribes of the trackless sands. All that jazz.

I had an african-fantasy-worldian barbarian called Ogana Muhanjo. And another called Okoa Ochiwande.

Conan, perhaps?

Edition is important here, as is what you look to get out of the concept of "rogue" and "barbarian".

The Scout, in D&D 3.x was a ranger-ish rogue or a roguish ranger, depending on how you used it.

The 4e ranger also worked well as a roguish barbarian, depending on the flavor.

But a LOT comes down to "What do you want it for?"

I'd call it a Guerilla, personally.

Any rogue that doesn't speak greek is a barbarian really, which is most of them.

It's a class name he's asking for.

..... oh! =)

Don't mind me then.

Some Ideas:

Marauder

Raider

Ravager

Outlaw

Forager

Bandit

Despoiler

All of those names have rather negative connotations, but so do Barbarian and Rogue.

Random stream of consciousness: My thoughts went to where they overlap, which would be danger sense and uncanny dodge, which have to do with reducing risk. And my mind went to riskbreakers from Vagrant Story, and then to the term "vagrant." So yeah, vagrant is what I would use.
