Dungeons & Dragons Kenku Name Generator
Kenku names are generated here with an eye on how they sound aloud, not just how they read on the page. Results are shaped to sit comfortably alongside established Dungeons & Dragons naming, so they suit fan fiction and tabletop play without clashing with canon. Tone filters help when a general roll drifts away from the kenku you actually pictured. Save favourites as you go, then export the set when you have enough to work with.
