Wookiees are one of the most iconic Star Wars species to ever grace the big screen. They are powerful, furry, and incredibly fun to play. Hailing from Kashyyyk, a tree-covered forest world in the mid-rim region of space, the Wookiees are great craftspeople and put a great deal of cultural emphasis on loyalty and courage.
Because Wookiees are traditionally depicted as relying on growls, howls, and other guttural sounds to communicate, the best Wookiee names are created by leaning in to that. Long, doubled vowels are good, as are sharp sounds like multiple Rs and Ks. Try out different combinations until you find one that is fun to say!
Good Wookiee Names
A good Wookiee name, like the species name, uses lots of doubled letters, and as mentioned above, often relies on sharp or guttural sounds. Multiple syllables are your friend! And always test out your creations by reading them aloud several times to make sure you can say it easily!
