Looking for naming ideas for a new gnome PC and found this thread. It's a shame it didn't catch on.

Here are the names of my previous small sized PCs in Pathfinder Society.

7. Lord Baron Yzarctihstab Garblenarf (gnome sorcerer, now a baron of Taldor)

8. Qassir (halfling opportunist from Qadira - his name is the Arabic word for "short")

9. Kelladorf Wizzlefarb (gnome prankster bard)

10. Julian Lightfoot (halfling inquisitor of Pharasma, so he needed a more serious name)

Spoiler:
Actually a follower of Norgorber, and just pretends to be Pharasman

Now, I'm making a gnome illusionist, and I'm going "all in" on Golarion gnomish insanity. I took a trait for bluff as a class skill, and I want to make him a compulsive liar, who uses illusions on top of the lies. I don't know what his name will be, but I'd love to give him 4 names with the initials ADHD. Actually, I'm tempted to have his attention span be so short that he changes his name every adventure. I've already decided that his familiar won't get a permanent name until it can speak for itself at level 5.


I recently used a gnome NPC named Twiggy Jackapple.

Hmm... I wonder if I could spell it out. Maybe "Eighdee Aich Dee". Sounds more like a Star Wars droid than a Golarion gnome, though.

I really think Golarion gnome names should sound cartoonishly silly. I'm pretty happy with the last names of my first two gnomes (Wizzlefarb and Garblenarf), but not as much with their first names. Just stringing random syllables together that have the right tone gives stuff like those, or Hossfobble, which I just thought of.


11. Fastred Stoor (halflang skald, surname DEFINITELY not ripped straight from Tolkien *wink*)

12. Rocco Hardweather (halfling spiritualist)

13. Itchatwitch (gnome illusionist wizard...though she'll never agree to let you call her by any one name for too long. She's a bit...addled)

Silver Crusade

D'oh!!! I can't believe I forgot 3rd PFS halfling PC. Actually, he's my first, but I just haven't played him as much, so he's lower level than the two newer halflings.

14. Seamus Luckleaf - He's my wannabe leprechaun - short, wears green, Irish name and accent, exists to spread the luck around. He's a typical buff/heal cleric of Lady Luck herself (Desna) who uses the halfling cleric favored class bonus to get more uses per day of the first level Luck domain power to buff his allies.


15.Spiny the Gnome. Wore spiked armor.Living Keoland destroyed him by insisting PCs had to spend an action to use armor spikes. Made no sense.


16. Cuppa T. N'Bickey.(halfling)


17. Johnny Appleseed, Halfling Druid.
18. Zapp Bramblethorn, Halfling Cavalier (Order of the Cockatrice)
19. Orion "Ory" Dragontoe
20. Tibbedo "Tibs" Dragontoe
21. Tammerine "Tammy" Dragontoe
22. Figueroa "Figgy" Dragontoe
23. Horatio "Hambone" Dragontoe
24. Delilah "Dilly" Dragontoe
25. Gideon Gleeful, Halfling Psychic.

In case you can't tell, I'm a big fan of Halflings. :-)


I have a few names for Gnomes:

26. Worthless McSuckenstein
27. Neverplay O'Crapinator
28. Pickano Therace
29. Juan A. Behalflin
30. Gonadie Iffiem Da'Giem


I had a Gnome Sorcerer named Emberstorm Firepot, his bloodline was Stormborn.

He also died right away.


For gnomes, I like silly portmanteau-ish names, like Cobblepot or Fussbudget or Applebottom.


Tinkle Peebody (gnome)

Grand Lodge

33. Basil Badgerbrow
34. Mortimer Poshkettle

Both are names that my boyfriend has used for his gnome characters.

Scarab Sages

Balco Higgenbottom is a name I used for a Halfling character in a game my brother was running for his oldest boy.

Liberty's Edge

35. Evan Madowd (Halfling)


Elliwick Inkpot F gnome scribe (investigator)

Lyle Swiftfoot M halfling messenger (investigator)

Basil M halfling chef (alchemist)This one has been an NPC in many games and many gaming systems including a LARP.

Dondo Taltables M halfling (rogue)


Unless I've miscounted, the unnumbered ones bring us up to 41.
