I'm playing in a homebrew campaign on saturdays open to any race, and I've been wanting to make this character for ages. I'm excited just thinking about it.

But I can't think of a name. I want it to be perfect. So if you guys want to help me find one that'd be fantastic :)

What about Giired? It's a pun and it follows goblin naming conventions. :D

Do you know where I could see the naming conventions for goblins? I think that would help a lot.

It's in one of the Eberron books, don't recall which. Fortunately the relevant info is also in one of my own posts a few pages back, lemme dig that up and paste it.

.......................................

Character Names: Goblinoid names tend to have vowel sounds that are spoken longer than usual for most languages. In male names, these vowel sounds are most often couched between a soft consonant and a hard consonant. In female names, the sound lies between two soft consonants. Most names have two syllables, but a few have three. Some goblins are given names that describe some deed or aspect of the individual.
Goblinoids of the three types use the same names and naming conventions despite tribal differences. ...
Male Names: Drevduul, Gudruun, Kalaad, Krootad, Reksiit, Wuudaraj.
