publisher's blurb: [S]ometimes you want more options or just need to come up with lots of various names based around a theme at once. The Name Maker helps to fill that void. Each volume contains a themed series of first names (these can double up as middle names) for female and male characters, although there is nothing stopping you from mixing the names, plus surnames, also called family or clan names. This volume covers names for Gnomes, translated into the common language from the original Gnomish language.
