I’m firmly in the camp that researched, curated barbarian names improve immersion—especially for writers and RPG players who care about worldbuilding. Generators are convenient, but they often lack cultural context, which is where names really start to matter.

Are Curated Barbarian Name Lists Better Than Generators?
I’ve been comparing different methods for finding barbarian names, and I’m curious about community opinions. Generators are fast, but curated lists of barbarian names often feel more intentional and lore-driven.
I recently reviewed a collection of barbarian names that explains cultural background, which I found refreshing. For writers and RPG players, do you think using researched barbarian names improves immersion? I’d appreciate hearing what’s worked best for you.
