How druid names are built
¶Druid names are not given at birth in any circle that keeps the practice properly. They are grown into and reported afterwards. The first element is whatever the land put there — dair oak, cair stone, gwern marsh, bran raven, loch lake — and the second is the shape it takes: holt a copse, mere a pool, torr a tor, garth an enclosure, nant a stream. Branholt is a place on a map before it is ever a person.
The sound is old and slow because the vocabulary is. Broad vowels, doubled consonants, and endings that stop rather than trail away: arn, orn, eth, ock. A circle will use the same twenty elements for three centuries, which is why two druids out of one valley can share a name-half and be no relation at all. It is not a family system. It is a geography spoken aloud, and the repetition is the point.
Second names describe what the land did, not what a parent wanted. Standingstone, Oldholt, Deepfen, Slowthaw, Barefell. They attach late, often after a first winter kept alone, and they change if the person does. A young druid may go a decade with a first element and a nickname, and the arrival of the full name is itself the announcement that the circle now counts them among the grown.

Questions
What are good druid names?
Ones that describe a place. Take a tree, stone, water or animal word for the first half and a landform for the second, then read it slowly: Cairmere, Branholt, Dairtorr, Mossgarth. Druidic names should sound like they could be written on an old boundary marker, so avoid anything clipped or clever and let the vowels take their time.
What are good druid last names or titles?
Use a descriptive second name rather than a family one. Standingstone, Deepfen, Oldholt, Greybriar and Winterwood all record a feature of the land or a fact about the person's habits, which is how circles actually distinguish members. Because these are earned rather than inherited, siblings usually have different ones, and a druid who moves may pick up a second.
Are druid names Celtic or Irish?
The elements here are an original construction with a broadly old-northern-European sound rather than words taken from Irish, Welsh or Gaelic. That is deliberate: real Irish names carry real meanings and grammar that a generator should not invent around. If you want a genuinely Irish character, use an Irish name; if you want a druid who sounds ancient, this set will do it without misrepresenting a living language.
How do I name a druid circle or grove?
Same grammar, larger scale. Combine a landform with a season, a stone or a beast and let it read as a location: the Stonebough Circle, Deepmere Grove, the Winterhollow. A circle is normally named after the place it meets rather than after any founder, so if the meeting place moves, the name usually goes with the place and the circle takes a new one.
