Gnomish Name Tables

FOREWORD

This document is designed

to be an aid for players and

referees alike. Naming is

important in any culture, and

even in our fantasy we like

consistency; how many times while

adventuring have you encountered

an NPC with your character’s

first name or last name?

The main reason for this

document was so that in my own

campaign there would be a

consistency, yet allowing

variety. If your gnome runs into

other gnomes during game play,

you might accidentally run into a

long-lost cousin or more

awkwardly, someone with your own

name.

For the Referee, this

document gives you two entwined

gifts: first not only can all

your NPCs share a cultural naming

scheme, but also you get the

burden of naming a minor NPC who

was never supposed to be anything

more than scenery.

I recommend generating a

dozen or so names of each gender

before play begins and keep that

list on hand for any occasion.

Now if you’re in a pinch

for a name, you can provide one

easily and there can be some

consistency in your names (it

will sound like you have a

complete culture for your humans

and demi-humans).

Player Characters need

never be forced into rolling on

these tables, although they might

want to look at or roll on them

at their discretion. PCs need

never be forced to accept a name

or nickname just because the dice

rolled it.

Some nicknames are not

positive and are used to imitate

nicknames in society. Use at your

own discretion and disregard any

you find offensive.

For the players, peruse

them looking for a good name only

use dice as a last alternative. I

can’t count how many times

someone generated a character,

knowing the class and race, the

kinds of initial items to buy and

then just sat there…twitching,

fidgeting and agonizing over a

name for his latest masterpiece.

Meanwhile the chorus of other

players began the mantra, “Just

pick a name; let’s play!”

Hours later, Fred the dwarf

was named.
