A formal name and a horn-themed pun create very different characters; choose the effect you want instead of assuming every character needs an intimidating title.

Choose a name you will use
Choose the role and tone of your own character or setting before choosing a spelling. These suggestions are creative options, not official game lore.
Write a sentence in which another character says Bovilore. Compare that with Gorehorn in the same scene. Decide whether a title, nickname or family name adds useful story information. A name does not establish official rules, alignment, ancestry or a real-world translation.
Names are suggestions, not origin claims. For a specific language meaning or published character reference, check the original source before relying on it.
