About gnome names

Many names per gnome

The Player's Handbook says gnomes collect names: one from each parent, one from the clan elder, nicknames from friends. Most gnomes still go by one or two in front of other races.

The sound

Gnome names bounce: short syllables, doubled consonants and playful endings like -ble, -wick and -nock. Rock gnomes love inventive tinker surnames; forest gnomes lean toward softer, woodland sounds.
