How are these orc names generated if not from slots?

Each result is one whole entry from a bank of 885 male or 83 female orc names, read out as stored rather than assembled from fixed slots, giving forms like Sham and Paghed.

Why does an orc name occasionally come out very long, like Worthatringhat?

The banks store names of very different lengths. Most entries stay short like Marz or Sham, but some run into long compound-looking forms, which you can reroll or keep for a notable orc.

Why do male orc names feel more varied than female ones?

The male bank holds 885 entries while the female one holds only 83. More stored names means more variety, so male output is richer and female output stays tighter and more recognizable.

About female orc names

How female orc names are built

The folklore orc generator draws whole names from gender-split banks (885 male entries, 83 female entries): each result is one stored entry rather than fragments glued at fixed joins. The banks yield names like "Sham", "Marz", "Paghed" and "Lurghed", with the occasional compound-looking entry like "Worthatringhat" among the longer forms.

Sham
single draw from the male bank
Paghed
single draw from the male bank
Worthatringhat
single draw (long entry) from the male bank

Naming notes

Because the names are stored whole rather than slot-built, the output keeps the texture of the 885-name male bank, gh clusters, -ed and -z endings, harsh stops, without ever repeating a fixed slot, so two orcs rarely rhyme the way the strict three-slot D&D orc names do. Length varies with the entry: a bank name can run long into a compound-looking string (Worthatringhat), which you may want to reroll for a mook but keep for a memorable warlord. The large male bank makes male names richly varied; the small female bank (83 entries) gives a tighter, more recognizable feminine set.
