Naming a gnome wizard
A gnome wizard carries gnome naming tradition into the wizard'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 wizard — a scholar who bends reality through study and formula — tends toward learned, slightly formal names that suit the spine of a spellbook. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
