Not even the gods of evil would allow such a monstrous abomination to be born. Humans, elves, and orcs obviously have sufficient common genetic heritage to produce offspring. But don't mate an elephant and a pig and expect to get a piggyphant.
 



Obviously a half-halfling is a quarterling.
I once DMed a hilarous in-character argument among a party - while they were engaged in combat! - as to whether the half-Human/half-Hobbit they had in the party should be called a quarterling or a threequarterling.

As for the Gnome-Hobbit cross? Not possible in my game without divine intervention. I long ago worked out a huge great spaghetti-like chart of what can breed with what, and it boiled down to two separated groups where Giants-Ogres-Dwarves-Gnomes are one line and Humans-Hobbits-Elves are the other; with the main crossing point being Orcs who can breed with both Humans and Ogres.
