Goblin names follow a structure similar to that of minotaurs, but they tend to be simpler and less aggressive. Their given names are short and often choppy, while their nicknames usually highlight their shortcomings, misfortunes, or quirks — either as a form of self-deprecating humor or as something imposed on them by others.

Examples:

• Booba Two-Fingers

• Buga Brain-Dead

• Chege Barbar

• Gui Silvertongue

• Klo Asslicker

• Ploo Penny-Pincher

• Klokh Wuss

These names reflect the goblins’ low social standing in the Empire, as well as their reputation for cunning, cowardice, and opportunism. Some goblins attempt to “upgrade” their nicknames upon gaining status, though such efforts are rarely taken seriously by others.
