Half-Orcs
To simplify, just roll an orcish name (in fact many half-orcs simply have orcish names).
However, if you want a more complex/realistic name, roll above and note each element of the
name (firstname, surname, etc.) For each element roll any die with odds = a human element and
even = an orcish element. Thus you could have an orcish firstname and a human surname. If the
only element thats not consistent is used as an initial, assume you only use that name with that
race (for example, if your name were Max G. (Giznuk) Cobb, assume that when youre among
orcs you introduce yourself as Giznuk and among everyone else youre Max).
