How goblin names work
Goblin names are small, sneaky and squeaky. They are built from snappy sounds (z, x, k, sn, sk) with nasty little endings like -snot, -nik and -tooth, and a goblin's second name is usually something unflattering it is known for: Mudchewer, Ratbiter, Rustear. They are meant to be funny and a bit gross, perfect for a cowardly scout or a scheming boss.
Tips
Goblins rarely care about male and female names, so the generator gives one shared style.
A goblin who wants to sound important will add a grand title: try "Boss" or "King" in front.
Use the second name as the goblin's nickname in your story.
Something short and nasty that is fun to say: Snik, Grib Mudchewer, Zit Rustear. Press Generate for a fresh batch.
Can goblin names be scary?
Yes. Keep the first name and skip the silly second name, and it reads far more sinister.
Can I use these names?
Yes. Names are free to use for pets, stories, games, products and anything else. Real names come from public government records; fantasy names are generated, so you do not need permission to use them.
