As stated above, half-orcs are of mixed ancestry, so they may have a name that doesn’t have an orc origin. Alternatively, their name might be a combination of orc and the language of their other parent.
Also, though the names are split into three categories above, these aren’t hard and fast rules. No one is going to know if your male half-orc fighter “has a girl’s name.” It’s pretty easy to see the pattern to orc names, so you can use these as examples to think up one of your own.
Additionally, their name might reflect a pivotal moment or significant person in their life. A half-orc might choose to take on a new name that represents their strength, resilience, or an important event in their journey.
