Gnome Name Generator
Whimsical, inventive names for tinkers and tricksters.
Gnome names are a joyful mouthful. Gnomes love language the way they love gadgets, so they collect names like trinkets, a personal name, a clan name, a nickname, plus a string of pet names given by relatives, any of which they might use on a whim. The style is bouncy and inventive, full of soft playful syllables and rhythmic repetition: Fizwick, Nim, Bimble, Wobblewrench, Coggle. Surnames often sound like the whir of a half-built contraption, stitching together whimsical words about springs, sparks, buttons and cogs. To make your own gnome name, pick a springy, giggly first name, then attach a silly-sounding invented surname, the more it sounds like a device rattling to life, the better it fits a gnome tinkerer or trickster.
