This first name is almost always paired with a last name with the [[wikipedia:Celtic onomastics|Gaelic surname prefix]] "Mc", e.g. "McMiner" or "McUselessNoble". The suffix of the surname is always a description of the dwarf or the dwarf's job, even though this is not a valid form for in-game dwarven names. The "Mc" probably stems from both the Scottish accents commonly given to dwarves in fantasy films and video games, and the stereotypes of Scots being drunk and violent, stereotypes also associated quite accurately with dwarves in ''Dwarf Fortress''. | This first name is almost always paired with a last name with the [[wikipedia:Celtic onomastics|Gaelic surname prefix]] "Mc", e.g. "McMiner" or "McUselessNoble".
