Halfling Naming Tradition

Halfling names take two routes: Tolkien's hobbits (Bilbo, Frodo, Meriadoc — earthy, Anglo-Saxon, often with family suffixes) or the D&D tradition of slightly Celtic/pastoral names. Both styles are roomy enough for creative variation.

Halflings typically have family names tied to a place, trade, or ancestor. 'Goodbarrel', 'Thistledown', 'Underbough' are classic D&D halfling surnames.

Appears in: The Hobbit, D&D, Pathfinder, Spelljammer
