Best Skyrim names for every character according to their race

There are a number of playable races that are available in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim where every character features its own unique abilities and strengths.

The game actually takes up dozens of hours to build up your character in the game, which also requires completing a number of quests. However, there are times when you may want to go back and do things all over again using a different character just to change the overall look. Luckily, the game allows players to change their character's name and appearance later in the game as well. So, if you are getting bored of using the same name for a character and looking for some new name ideas, we have some popular suggestions for you to try out.

But before we list down the names, let us take a quick look at how you can actually change your character's name in Skyrim. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Open the console and type in 'showracemenu' in the console.

Step 2: Hit Enter to load the character creation screen.

Step 3: Close the console to start making the required changes. The page will allow you to change everything about the character including the name, gender, race and appearance.

Step 4: Enter a new name under the 'Name' field and click on 'Done'

The game will ask you to re-enter the character's new name and the game will continue.

*Before you make any changes to the game, you should always remember to save it as 'new' to be able to revert if needed.
