FWiW, for a point of game flavor, Gnomes DO follow one trope of traditional fantasy - they generally have gnomish names that are long and complex and awkward, so they usually adopt a name in common (Ubrekti). Since they think everyone else is kind of dim, they usually overcompensate and go for very simple, monosyllable words. It's not any sort of hard and fast rule, of course, but I assume that when I see gnomes with boring names that it's sort of like a Chinese adopting some white-bread english name because they're tired of dealing with people trying to wrestle with their "real" name. ;) | FWiW, for a point of game flavor, Gnomes DO follow one trope of traditional fantasy - they generally have gnomish names that are long and complex and awkward, so they usually adopt a name in common (Ubrekti).

FWiW, for a point of game flavor, Gnomes DO follow one trope of traditional fantasy - they generally have gnomish names that are long and complex and awkward, so they usually adopt a name in common (Ubrekti). Since they think everyone else is kind of dim, they usually overcompensate and go for very simple, monosyllable words. It's not any sort of hard and fast rule, of course, but I assume that when I see gnomes with boring names that it's sort of like a Chinese adopting some white-bread english name because they're tired of dealing with people trying to wrestle with their "real" name. ;)
