Naming a goblin wizard
A goblin wizard carries goblin naming tradition into the wizard's calling. Goblin names are short, sharp and a little rude in spirit: hard k and g sounds, buzzing z's and clipped vowels. Most goblins answer to whatever their gang calls them, and a name is something you defend — or upgrade — with a story about the last scrap you survived. 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.

Goblin naming conventions
A goblin given name is two or three clipped syllables built from a boastful prefix (Snik- 'sneak', Grik- 'grab', Skar- 'scratch'), a short root and an ending such as -nak or -ka. Many goblins add an epithet or gang name that does the real work: Ratbiter, Quickfingers, of the Rusty Knife.
