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.
