How to use it

Collect several

Generate a few and give your gnome more than one. It's very gnomish to answer to all of them.

Rock or forest

Tinkering rock gnomes and quiet forest gnomes can sound different; use the name to hint which one you are.

Make it a running joke

A party member who never gets the name right is a reliable laugh at the table.

How gnome names work

Gnomes collect names: one from each parent, one from an elder, and a nickname from almost everyone they meet. Names bounce, with lots of B, F, N and P sounds and endings like -wick, -bell and -nock. Pick the one your gnome uses most and keep the rest for stories.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Names are put together in your browser, so it's free with no sign-up and no limit.

Why do gnomes have so many names?

In D&D lore, gnomes get names from family and friends and keep them all. Use the one you like best.

Can I use these names in my own book or game?

Yes. They're built from word parts rather than copied from a list, so you can use them however you like.
