Need help coming up with a character name


Advice


I'm trying to come up with a character for a game, but I'm doing things a little differently than normal this time. I usually make a build and build the backstory/character around what I have afterwards. This time, I'm trying to make the character first, and then building the mechanics later. The GM keeps vetoing the character ideas I've been coming up with because they seem "annoying." So I was hoping the people here would help me come up with some possibilities in the same vein of what I've already come up with. I haven't decided on really anything about the character yet, just the race.

Here's a list of what my GM has vetoed so far:

Vince Gnombardi
The Gnome Ranger
The Laughing Gnome
The Gnomad
Sherlock Gnomes
Gary Gnomedini
Yudoan Gnomie
Gnomor: Mr. Nice Guy
Gnomanz Land
Barack Gnomebama
Uptu Gnomegood
Asnomeus, cleric of Asmodeus
Gnomatta the Cost
Gnarly the Gnostic Gnome
Gnorm MacDonald
Garl Glittergold
Billy the Bleached
Gnomonic Device
Gnomen Clayture
Jeff Gnomeblum
Nome Alaska


I love all of these names so far. Here is my suggestion.

Nomar Pawns


Gno Menklatyur
Cog Gnomen


Meh Nombray
Komo Tappel


Google "rap name generator" and use those names as parameters.


It's a Gnome. String together Four or More names that flow together thematically and not just as a pun -Gnomish names are self-descriptive as much as Halfling ones. It may be a dissonance you run into when you try to run a character that's a pure pun. At least come up with something that references the tinker madness you are trying to accomplish.

That being said I ran a Goblin named Buck Acky in We be Goblins so I'm no better. It didn't dawn on the table until I started the shenanigans.


Dotting so I can learn how he GM bolts you. Not if. How.


Hwan Kapov-Tiplis

Liberty's Edge

Gnome Chompsky

Grand Lodge

have your character use a 2 handed club...then you can call him Gnomar Garciaparra....


Gnoman the Barbarian
Gnoman the Destroyer
Chrome-gnome
Gnomer Pile


Gnoman Sland
Gnomar Odom
Oberon the faking


William of Gnomandy


The game's not happening, but I am still interested in collecting a list of pun names, if people are still interested in contributing.

Liberty's Edge

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Gnoman is perfect IMO. Where Gnoman has gone before. I am Gnoman (even better for a blonde lady).

The possibilities are staggering


I have a Gnome NPC named Twiggy Jackapple in my game.
