Tips for Choosing a Good Goblin Name

Goblin naming conventions in fantasy settings often feature short, sharp-sounding names that are designed to be easily pronounced but still feel somewhat rough or guttural. Here are some general characteristics and practices often associated with goblin names:

1. Short and Snappy: Goblin names are short, typically one or two syllables. This makes it easy to yell or shout, which fits with the often chaotic nature of goblin society.

2. Harsh Consonants: Many goblin names include harsh or guttural sounds such as 'k', 'g', 'z', 'r', and 'x'. These sounds give the names a rough edge, reflecting the typically rugged goblin personality.

3. Lack of Formality: Goblins usually don't have family names unless they are from a more sophisticated tribe or have been integrated into other societies in the game world. In such cases, their surnames might describe their deeds, characteristics, or origins (e.g., Sharpshooter, Ironbasher).

4. Have Fun with It: Don’t take it too seriously – goblin names can be silly or weird, and that’s half the fun!

5. Think Personality: Goblins can be mischievous, sneaky, or even goofy. Pick a name that matches their character.

Here is a set of male and female goblin name ideas to get you started. These are good goblin names, suitable for all RPG games, such as WoW, DnD, and more. Don't be afraid to laugh at some of the names; Goblin names can be funny!

A Bit About Goblins

Goblins are small, often mischievous creatures in fantasy stories and RPG games. They're known for their cleverness, love of shiny things, and, sometimes, trouble-making ways. Orcs are similar in many ways.

Whether playing 5e, bg3, or WoW or writing your fantasy tale, a good goblin name can bring your character to life.
