Tips for Better Names
- Short names with hard sounds work well
- Consider adding descriptive nicknames
- Goblin names are short, snappy, and slightly unpleasant: "Snikkit", "Wobber Nixgrin", "Brackle Wormbite".
- A grubby occupational surname ("Ratcatcher", "Tinshank", "Sparkfinger") does more characterisation than any epithet.
- Generate a handful at once. Goblins come in groups, and a set of names that rhyme or share sounds reads as one warren.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes goblin names unique?
Goblin names are typically short, feature harsh consonants, and often sound slightly comical or crude. They reflect the chaotic goblin nature.
Do goblins have surnames?
Not in a family sense. What looks like a surname is normally a job, a habit, or an insult that stuck — which is why goblin names can change over a campaign.
How are goblin names different from kobold names?
Kobold names are draconic and reverent; goblin names are scrappy and mocking. Goblins also carry descriptive second names far more often than kobolds do.
