Naming a kobold artificer
A kobold artificer carries kobold naming tradition into the artificer's calling. Kobold names are quick, high and clipped — the kind of sound you can yip down a tunnel in the middle of an ambush. Many kobolds think of themselves as servants or distant kin of dragons, so a name that borrows a draconic syllable such as Drak- or Zar- is worn with real pride. An artificer — an inventor who pours magic into metal and gear — tends toward crisp, workshop-flavoured names, often paired with a maker's mark. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.

Kobold naming conventions
A kobold given name is two or three short syllables: a prefix tied to craft or kinship (Tak- 'trap', Pok- 'dig', Drak- 'wyrm'), a small root and an ending like -ek, -ip or -o. Status comes from a craft-name or lair-name added after it: Trapwright, Gemsniffer, of the Red Wyrm.
