Gnome names for WoW Forever
About Gnome names
Gnome names are meant to make you smile before you finish reading them. Expect quick, lively first names and surnames that sound like something from a workshop where half the inventions still work.
Class and spec still count here: a warlock gets a name with a little menace under the mischief, and a priest gets one that sounds almost respectable.
Gnome lore names to avoid
Gnomeregan has fewer famous names than most, but the ones it has may be refused in the game: Gelbin, Mekkatorque, Thermaplugg, Millhouse, Manastorm and Fizzlebang. Type a name into “Keep a name you already have” to check it.
WoW Forever name rules
- Every character needs a first name and a surname.
- Each name can be at most 12 letters.
- Only the full name has to be unique.
- Names that match Warcraft characters, titles or restricted words may be rejected in-game.
- Even a name the game accepts can be refused later: Blizzard can make you rename a character whose name breaks its naming policy.
These follow the usual WoW rules:
- Accented letters like ë or é are allowed and count as one letter.
- No apostrophes, hyphens, spaces or digits.
- At least 2 letters per name.
- No three of the same letter in a row.
This site can't check whether a name is taken.
