Drug dealing isn't one culture. It's different everywhere. Regional differences matter a lot. An East Coast kingpin sounds different from a West Coast operator. Southern dealers have their own flavor. International dealers bring their own backgrounds. Your character's name should reflect where they're from and where they operate.

If your character is from Miami, their name might have Caribbean or Latin American influences. If they're from Detroit, it might sound different. Chicago's got a different vibe than LA. These aren't stereotypes—they're realistic details that make your character feel grounded in an actual place. Do some research. Listen to real interviews, watch documentaries, read about specific cities and regions. Let that research guide your name choices. Authenticity comes from specificity.

East Coast names often have harder edges, more formal structure
West Coast styles tend toward longer names, sometimes references to neighborhoods
Southern dealers might use family names or references to local landmarks
International dealers bring cultural and linguistic influences
Urban vs. rural areas have completely different naming conventions
Generational differences matter too—80s dealers sound different from 2020s dealers
