How gnome names work

Gnome names in Dungeons & Dragons are playful, bouncy, and a little absurd — full of soft double consonants and quirky sounds (Fonkin, Glim, Bimpnottin). Gnomes love names so much they collect several: a given name, a nickname, a clan name, and assorted pet names from friends and family. The vibe is clever, inventive, and never too serious.

How to use it

Pick a Gender and hit Generate for fresh gnome names built syllable by syllable. Save the ones that make you smile, and copy your favorite. For full flavor, give your gnome a string of names — a proper given name (Fonkin), a working nickname (Sprocket), and a clan name (Beren, Daergel, Folkor).

Tips for choosing a great gnome name

1Lean into playful, bouncy sounds — double consonants and quirky syllables work great.
2Gnomes love nicknames; give yours a 'working name' like Sprocket or Cogsworth too.
3Add a clan name (Beren, Folkor, Nackle) for a complete gnome introduction.
4Keep it light — gnome names should sound clever and a little ridiculous.
5Tinkerer gnomes suit mechanical nicknames; forest gnomes suit nature-y ones.
6Say it aloud; if it makes you grin, it's a perfect gnome name.
