Dwarf names are short and heavy: one or two syllables, hard consonants and a growl of R or K. The clan name matters as much as the first name, because dwarves introduce themselves by family and trade, like Ironforge, Coalbeard or Anvilbreaker.
Lineage
A dwarf naming a parent shows respect for the clan's history. “Brom, son of Thorgrim” sounds right at a dwarven table, and it is an easy way to make a minor character feel rooted in the world.
