Halfling Names
Halflings are similar to the gnomes in the fact that
they use both given and surnames, but both those names may
change over time and be overappended with nicknames for adven-
tures, physical abilities, and pet or diminutive names. In addition,
the original names may be lost behind a maze of pseudonyms and
false backgrounds. For example, the halfling Corkitron Allinamuck
chose both first and last names (his parents were named Burrows),
and goes by the diminutive Corky and the nickname "High Roll".
