About ifrit names
A crackle of q sounds runs through results like "Qinlas", "Reraj", and "Neqhuryun", giving the set a dry, desert-wind phonology. Names in this mode fit fire-blooded planar characters in Pathfinder-style campaigns, especially ones rooted in efreeti-flavored cities and bazaars. Keep the two-syllable results for brash young sorcerers and the longer ones for elders who remember the Plane of Fire.
How ifrit names are built
Single-word names chain fragment banks with one small bank as a repeated connector: a five-part female chain, a male reduplicated form that repeats its core pair, and an alternate five-part male chain. The largest bank holds 27 entries. Worked examples from the bank: "Walah", "Nedras", "Farlanlis".
Walah
Wa + lah (fragment chain)
Nedras
Ned + ras (fragment chain)
Farlanlis
Far + lan + lis (longer fragment chain)
Naming notes
The sound is light and even, with liquid l and r, soft -ah and -en endings, and a recurring inner vowel (Walah, Silitun, Fenrathan), fitting a fire-touched register. Short draws read plain, longer ones formal. Male and female split on the surrounding banks. For flame-blooded characters in this style.
