I like my gnomes to have really long names. My current Kingmaker character is the ruler of his own nation and has about 25 middle names. I think his name is over 70 syllables when he says the whole thing, which he does, at every opportunity he gets.
Alternately you could go with a simple name with a title, something along the lines of Rhialto the Marvellous (Jack Vance character), Pharonare the Fabulous, or Mark the Reasonably Modest.

Because of the crazy hair, making them look kinda like trolls (No, not those trolls, these trolls.), I like names that evoke that crazy hair, like Rupur Bottlebrush or Lankin Thistletop or Einstein Mushroomcloud.
Or just ridiculously silly names, like Sassy Backbacon.

I find that my best bet is to play with nonsense syllables until something sounds good. Ablenaffener (or 'Able' for short) is one of my gnome characters - Zurladew is another. Just playing with strange sounds is usually a good way to create a decent gnome name.
