Naming a gnome rogue
A gnome rogue carries gnome naming tradition into the rogue'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 rogue — a quick-fingered survivor of the urban underworld — tends toward slick names or aliases — the real one is rarely the one they answer to. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
