Hi, I'm about to join a RotFM game with a bunch of Australians. I'm thinking I'm gonna make a Githyanki Sorc. Help me name this new character. I want to make the name something fun or some kind of pun involving gith or sorc, but not something that Australians would find rude. I usually run with something whimsical and a pun, like my drow-sword-bard-pirate "the Drow Pirate Roberts". If it becomes important this will also be an Adventurers League game.

Anywho, anybody got any ideas?

Thanks

Speaking as an Australian, what might one find offensive about a Gith Sorcerer?

I was more worried that i'd stumble on a name that was offensive to Australians.

Can be oddly difficult to do unless you’re deliberately trying to get under the skin or going down obviously racial lines.

Try something like S’Truth, Boh-Gann or Aunt Shelly

Actually, makes me think of Planescape making the cant basically a rip on a particular british slang dialect, you could easily pull the same trick here. Would be endearing in the same way that we don’t say Shrimp (however we do say on the barbie), if only for a while.

Yeah i kinda figured, but knowing my luck, i'd stumble on the one phrase you all know not to say. And i'm trying to reduce the harm to america's rep, so my caveat.

Or you could go full Gith-Yankee and be the most American Gith possible.

You could also be the Githyanki Doud'ldendii, true.

Kinda reminds me of one of my first 5e characters. The DM wanted the world to be California. So i made the character a former player for the Orkland Raiders. Gave him the pirate background and everything.

Shadows Prawn (If you are making a sorcerer with Shadow origin)

Roo Thuh'day (for a wild magic sorcerer)

Pre Scilla (Divine Soul)

Bight Grait'gith (Storm Sorcerer)

Gith Uvd'magi (Dracnic Origin)
