Good start on a nice page. Excellent suggestions and links. It might be good to mention that many Mando'ade are adopted as orphans of war from various species, and come into clans that way; often through a demonstration of fighting spirit. And while there is likely an appreciation of ancient cultural connections to living closer to nature for all Mandalorians (game hunting, camping, farming, craftwork, etc.) some verde do live in cities.

Players of Mando'ade characters should not be afraid to create new names that are not taken directly from the Mando'a dictionary - though five or less syllables is a usual limit when first and last names are combined. This creativity should be taken to apply to clan names too...just avoid (or replace) the dar'manda practice of mashing up of Basic terms like Wrathslicer, Minockyodeler, Skycleaner, Drinkpourer, Wookieepelter, etc.

If the creative fuel tank for naming a Mandalorian character is low, Dala, Gev, Hokan, Marec, Orade and Shysa are few more last names options consistent with published Star Wars material.
