Naming a gnome bard
A gnome bard carries gnome naming tradition into the bard's calling. Gnome names are quick, bright, and a little bit fizzy, full of z, k, and short vowels. They sound like a name that might also be the name of a small explosive device — which, for a gnome, is often a compliment. A bard — a wandering performer who trades in songs and secrets — tends toward melodic, memorable names built to be announced on a stage. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
