The fighter is the broadest class in the game, and that is exactly why generic heroic names fail here. “Blade Ironheart” tells you the character fights; it tells you nothing else. A good fighter name signals where the character learned to fight, and the whole character follows from that.
A conscripted farmhand should carry a plain, regional name — Wat Hollis, Marda Fenn, Tobin Ash. A career soldier picks up a unit nickname that sticks harder than the birth name: Ladder, Second Bell, Quiet Tam. A noble duelist keeps the full formal construction, house and all: Sir Aurel Vasca-Renn. A pit fighter is known by a stage name their audience invented — the Bracken Wolf, Halfmask, Three-Round Emmet.
Most memorable fighters in fiction are known by something they were called rather than something they were named. The trick is that the nickname should reference a specific incident, not a general quality. “Ironhand” is a description. “Fourth Wall” — the name of the only soldier who held one — is a story, and players will ask about it unprompted.
Trade surnames ground a fighter in a real economy: Fletcher, Mason, Coleman, Wainwright, Shear. For a character who left a trade for the sword, this is quiet, effective backstory embedded in the name itself.
Say the name in a shout, because someone will: “Fall back, ___!” Names with two syllables and a strong opening consonant survive that test. Longer formal names are fine, provided the character also has something the party can yell.
