Gnome Naming Tradition

Gnome names in D&D are long and layered: a personal name, a clan name, and a nickname given by someone else. The nickname is what most people actually use. Rock gnome names sound a bit like mechanical noise — lots of 'z', 'wick', 'bip', 'fiz'. Forest gnome names are gentler.

The nickname tradition means gnomes accumulate names over a lifetime. An older gnome might go by a name nobody but close friends uses, while strangers get an entirely different one.

Appears in: D&D, Pathfinder, Warhammer Fantasy (as a distinct tradition)
