The single most effective ranger naming principle is that the name should reference terrain, weather or wildlife from the region the character patrols. A ranger without a place is just an archer. Tie the name to ground and the character gains a homeland for free.
Toponymic surnames do this directly: Ashcombe, Thornwyn, Marrowfen, Greywater, Coldbrake, Highfell. Each implies a specific landscape. Pair one with a short, practical given name — Bel Ashcombe, Rook Coldbrake, Hana Greywater — and the character sounds like someone with mud on their boots rather than a fantasy archetype.
A ranger in an organised warden order carries something formal and rank-adjacent: Warden Calloway, Marshal Iren Vost. A solitary outlander is more likely known by a single name or a nickname others gave them: Bramble, Sixmile, the Quiet Man of Hesk. A city-adjacent tracker or bounty hunter sits between the two.
Words like tarn, brake, holt, spinney, mire, scarp and combe are genuine English landscape terms and almost all of them sound invented to a modern ear. Using real ones gives a setting internal consistency that made-up syllables cannot, and they combine cleanly: Holtwyn, Mirecap, Scarpfield.
Name a companion the way a working handler would — short, functional, and often unsentimental: Pitch, Gale, Six, Bracken. Rangers who give their animals grand epic names read as sentimental, which may be exactly the characterisation you want, but it should be a choice.
