Bards: A (Very) Brief History
Bards are historically tribal poet-singers, with natural gifts in lyrical composition, originating from Celtic origins.
Bards were later referred to as the national minstrels or poets of Britain and Gaul (now France and Belgium, and some of Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands).
In Dungeons and Dragons, or D&D, bards are musical characters that weave words and music into magic.
They are possibly the most magically versatile character class, using their musical magic to fortify or encourage allies, dishearten enemies, heal the wounded, manipulate the mind and reinforce their weapons.
How to Choose Good Bard Names
The essence of good bard names depends largely on who they are, where they are from, and what kind of influence they aim to have.
Ultimately, you know your character best and what name would be most suitable – these are only tips and guidelines, so feel free to follow them or color outside the lines:
- Try to avoid the names of already well-known bards
- If your character seeks fame, consider a one-word name. Beyonce and Prince knew what they were doing!
- Make sure it can be easily pronounced; chances are you’ll say it a lot
- Unless you are specifically creating a jester type character, avoid joke names
Famous Bards From History, Mythology, and Fiction
Admittedly, not all of the people featured in this list were not bards, but poets.
Still, bards and poets are of a similar vein so we say you’re allowed to take inspiration from a famous poet!
