My favorite gnome PC from 3e was named Fenwick Findlefarb Woogodoo Nanoquick Kruknik Nashizzar (but you can call him Brighteyes, everyone else does).

Perhaps Eddie Izzard can offer some suggestions?

Races of Stone has a gnome name generator table. Recommended.

I think it would depend on if the gnomes in your campaign are silly mech gnomes or fey trickster gnomes.

If the former, then compound names might work like sparkgears, wrenchtorque, or flashbottle.

if the latter, then something that sounds elvish might be better.

...it says they sometimes have six names, but i do like the idea of Seebo being a short version.
Guildersleeves would be a great nick name this NPC. Thanks Cap'n

Don't for get the rest. It's all his name.

To borrow a joke from Cartoon Network's Adult Swim's Boondocks (warning, black comedian language ahead):

IOW, there is no "short" for a gnome's name. In fact, they may even take affront at being addressed by the "short" form of their name...unless permission is specifically given...

"Can I call you 'Seebo' for short?"

"For short? For SHORT?!?! What kind of humor is THAT, sir?"

"Errr...I...uh..."

"Ah! At a loss for words, eh? May I call you Idiot for short? Or would "Fills breetches whilst fleeing my wrath" be a better name for you? EN GARDE!"

lol Classic. You do have a point though.

Beyond making a point, I was hoping to give you a possible roleplaying hook- admittedly, one that wouldn't be for everyone, but one that could easily lead to some memorable moments.

Hope I helped!
