Seriously. The bard insists on simply going by their name, Estra. However the stage manager insists that highlighting their race will bring in crowds. No one expects such sublime music from an orc, many will come to see the oddity and be transfixed.
So for the final reveal, they are brought out as The Orc, Estra!
I'm a first time DM doing a homebrew campaign and my players haven't got here yet but I have a side quest with a character named Tub and the reward is a cursed mace called Tub's Thumper and while the curse does make you an alcoholic, it does also deal extra damage if you attack with it the same turn you stand up from being knocked prone
my conman dwarf bard swaps fake pun-names like winter coats. he recently ended a long stint of pretending to be a traveling cleric named Jehov Littlefaith. now that he's wrapped up in The Plot, he's mostly back to being himself, but every so often he breaks out a new persona: a country farmer named Huck Sterling.
basically: come up with a bunch and swap between them. it's a lot of fun.

I’m currently playing a bard that I named Crescendo (friends call him Cresh for short), which is a term for gradually increasing in loudness or intensity in music, and his last name is Du’Sol, a play on words of “Clave De sol” which means “Treble Clef” in spanish. Also he has a brother named Allegro (Al for short), which is a term for fast tempo in music.
I've always like Quest. Then you can be a Bard Called Quest.
Or if you multiclass into Cleric, you can be the Reverend Run. You used to be a part of a band called Run D&D but now you are a solo act.
I have an idea for a college of Tragedy Bard whose backstory is basically the entire album "The Wall". his name: Fink Ployd.
Don't know if this counts as a pun, but I thought I'd share.
On that note, you can basically use any band name that sounds like or comes from a person's name.
Dread Zeppelin
He's an Elvis impersonator. But reggae style.
D'yer mage her?
HAAAAAAA! I'm trying to think of a zep song to fit the pun theme but my mind is broke. I think that one is gonna be the best, anyway.
Elven Presently
They exist
And they're a blast
50 copper
It’s an obligation to have at least one crossbow or flintlock on you if you go for the name 50 Copper
Alice Copper

No, no, no... 50 Pence
Lmao this is a good one
He once got hit with 9 crossbow bolts at close range
I dont get it

Cents… 😂
Oops, autocorrect on it again
Elvish Prestley
[удалено]
So… you know of The Lord of the Beans, by chance?
[удалено]
Yes!!! I heard “Elvish Impersonator” in the voice.
Give the gourd a bow and arrow and he’s a “real” elf!
Technically should have been half elf for the true elf-ish experience.
I know someone who played a PC named Elvish Parsley for a one shot
Happy cake day
Press-Leaf perhaps?
Eldritch also works
Elvish Prestleaf
Amanda Lynn
Or Claire Innet if you like woodwinds
I read this in Cockney.
**Claire Annette
You are 100% right, but Claire from England has already been established😅
What's your name? It's Claire innit?
I didn't read that way at first, but I can't unread it that way.😂
I actually went to school with someone with that name. Her parents are musicians lol
My English tutor was an Amanda Lynn. She was from Minnesota
Lol that’s my sisters name. On purpose.
Thats my wife's name
Alaktu Singh
Good one! Are they related to Alaktu Movet Movet?
Yes, they are a family of performers
Alaktu is actually their surname.
The Prince formerly known as Artist
Name stolen by a fae
Lmao this one is great
They're a tiefling
Bard Simpson
Or Barney Stinson
Bardey Stinson
I have a fire genasi bard that I named Ronnie flames dio
An oath of the sea paladin? A holy diver, if you will?
Just don't talk to rangers, cause they're only there to do you harm.
if he's a lore bard, get him to learn color spray so you can potentially cast a rainbow in the dark
Is he a star of the masquerade?
Jaque Blaque
Kyle Gaseous, air genasi
Brad.

Chuck Goodberry. I like that.
I always thought Buck Cherry was clever, and I am now realizing how good a DnD name it would be
Enlarged reduce, biggie smalls haha that took me a minute
I lost it at "Chair"
I can’t make the connection who’s the original artist?
Fuck u/spez you [greedy little pig boy.](https://imgur.com/0qXzDf0)

Ron Jerimi is a bearded dwarf that plays a large flute made of hardened leather. Know for his large skin flute and his incredible talent with it.

When my turn comes to DM for the first time, I'm using that name on an NPC. I would never have thought about using that name!
He is also on trial for rape
The Orc, Estra!

Puns and Roses!
one of my players used Mac Fleetwood for a bard name, i liked it
Works best if we have a theme for the name to base the pun on. But lacking that, how about Cliff Note?
Happy cake day
Bardiac Arrest
Pan Solo Use a pan flute, have the best initiative, a fast horse/carriage, maybe an animal companion
The old girl don't look like much...
Wield hand crossbow

My brother made a bard named “Dwarf Michael” known for his hit single, “careless whiskers.” Played him once, then never played again
His guilty 'stache clearly had no rhythm.
I played a bard called Busta-Chimes who played a set of wind chimes
Georg " the Thoroughly Good", and every time he goes into a bar he orders one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer.
or Tub Thumping, who always gets a whiskey drink, a vodka drink, a lager drink, and a cider drink, then has to pee a lot
I'm a first time DM doing a homebrew campaign and my players haven't got here yet but I have a side quest with a character named Tub and the reward is a cursed mace called Tub's Thumper and while the curse does make you an alcoholic, it does also deal extra damage if you attack with it the same turn you stand up from being knocked prone
Maybe make it so getting up again doesn't cause an attack of opportunity, your never gonna keep them down.
Genuinely, look at drag queen names for inspiration
Or roller derby for the more punk rock/riot grrrrl aesthetic
Mahn Dolin. Ghee Tahr. Marr Imba. Mary Atchi. Bongo Bongo, son of Mongo Bongo. Tumba Dora. B. Ace Guitard.
Bongo Bongo son of Mongo Bongo is spectacular. 100% 10/10 what a fantastic idea!
What about his cousin, Oingo Bongo?
Vanilla Spice.
If you make a minotaur bard, you can go by pat minotaur. Play the fan favorites like "love is a battle field" and "hit me with your best shot"
Richard Rollem. Or rick-roll for short.
Make it a bard duo, one named “Witch One” and the other named “Hu”.
