Tekkud seems to have stuck in my mind.  Aside from that, there's Kulet, Kilrud, and Astesh.

I always liked Mistem just because it's one of the few that really fits a female dwarf.

Nil is pretty awesome too though it never seemed very 'dwarfy' to me.

Funny, my great great grandfather's name was Nil, my great grandfather's name was Nim

I personally prefer Dodik as generic dwarf name

[PTTG??]

I think that we need to take a moment in awe at the epic win of Kagus.

[Vugor]

*awe........*

i vote for astesh, i get that name enough.......too enough.....

[Mephansteras]

I've always been fond of the name Zas. Although that's probably influenced by the fact that I had an awesome NPC in a D&D game by that name...

[DJ]

I rather like Libash. Libash Zasokol was my very first fort's leader.

[Dwarmin]

Mofol is always a lucky name for me.

[Kagus]

You a honkey Mofol or sumthin'?

[Kuli]

The name Urist sticks out to me because in my very first DF world, most of my dwarves came from the country of Urist Udar, so it has a certain nostalgia for me.

I say the third name should be Dastot.  My forts are always full of Dastots, and it's a cool name because it means "sword."

For what it's worth, I name my chickens in Harvest Moon with dwarven names.  In my current game so far I have Urist, Bomrek, Dastot and Libash, all weapons.  Future chickens will be named after metals like Deler or Limul.

Thob is pretty easy to remember.

I have fond memories of the swordsdwarf Thob Ordoddok in my first moderately successful fort. A siege had just been broken but there were still loads of trolls around. I sent Thob's unit out to take care of three trolls in a small house (I'd built sort of an above ground suburb) just outside the fort entrance.

Thob was the only one who showed up. I also found out that my initial estimate of the trolls was off. There were 10.

Thob arrive on scene and went up the 1x4 office on the second floor of the house. He proceeds to hack three trolls to pieces, one with such force that it's hurled against the far wall. The remaining seven fled.

Thob followed them downstairs and hacked apart another two trolls. Two of the trolls flee towards the depot and are killed by caravan guards. Two fled. Thob cut the leg off of one last troll but just didn't have the energy to make the kill. I just imagine this dwarf, all hunched over and breathing heavily, lightly poking a one legged troll that's very gradually getting away.

What impresses me most is that Thob was just an ordinary swordsdwarf. No legendary in anything. Hell, the guy was a peasent when he showed up at the fort.

Zas is one of the dwarf names for me. In my second fort ever way back in 2D I had a dwarf named Zas who did all sorts of wacky exploits, including arresting the Captain of the Guard for violating a mandate. (Said Captain was very happy as a sheriff to arrest the mandate-maker, who was also involved in the same smuggling scandal.)

[Fooster]

I have always been partial to "Rigoth".  Maybe because one of the dwarf civs was also named Rigoth Roth in the first map I ever generated, and my first few forts there were full of Rigoths.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Bomrek is a good, Dwarvern name.
I generally call any dwarf I have maggarg, which sounds dwarfly.

[roguester]

I have a dwarven warrior in Vanguard whose name is Rimtar Libash--Rimtar the Axe. Rimtar was chosen at random from the unit list of my current DF fort at the time. Turns out it means Castle. So he's Castle Axe. It's appropriate; he's built like a castle and he only wields axes.
