Is this D&D name generator free?

Can I use these names in Baldur’s Gate 3 or other games?

Yes. The names follow the general sound of each race, so they fit D&D 5e, Baldur’s Gate 3, Pathfinder and most other fantasy games, as well as books and homebrew worlds.

Can I use these names for my character, book or game?

Yes. The names are made up from syllables we wrote ourselves, and we do not claim any rights to them. Use them for characters, NPCs, stories or your own game. For a commercial product, do a quick search to check that a name is not already someone’s trademark.

How do gnome names work?

Gnome names are fun to say. They bounce, with short syllables and endings like -ble, -wick, -zle and -kin. Many gnomes collect names over their long lives: one from each parent, a few from friends, and one for formal occasions.

For a tinker or artificer gnome, a gadget-flavoured family name (Cogspindle, Gearpocket) tells the table what your character is about before you say a word. Forest gnomes suit softer names; drop the family name or use a nature one from the elf generator.

For a deep gnome (svirfneblin), use the harder-sounding first names and drop the playful family name for something stony.
