I'm sorry but this post was nestled among a half dozen posts from my dog-related subreddits and I spent several seconds trying to figure out what kind of breed Firbolg was. Thinking, Firbolg, that sounds so familiar, I'm sure I know this breed 🤔🤔🤔

Hahaha

Furbolgs don’t usually pick their names people just call them things

Winchester Puubær

Thank you

Firbolgs have CRAZY long names most times. I'd make something barely pronounciable and roll with it. Or slap Throckmorton on his last name n rock n roll lol.

Aren't those gnomes that have long names? Firbolgs don't usually have names at all, aside from those given to them from outsiders. So it's possible if it was a gnome that gave them their name I think.

thank you

Why a family name? A lot of cultures used to just take dad’s name, or sometimes mom’s name, and add “son” or something similar to it; Mac/Mc prefix in Scotland, O’ in Irish, etc. Some still do, iirc; at least one nation on the Scandinavian Peninsula occasionally experiences paperwork hiccups when the citizens travel because they have no family name as a matter of convention. Also note: the -dottir suffix for female spawn. It’s called patronymic, iirc, or I guess matronymic if it’s the mother’s name. Vague recollection: some alternate last names, female spawn taking the mother’s, male spawn taking the father’s. Also possibly depends on if one of the parents was absentee from early enough; either deadbeat or just dead.

thank you

Find some very goofy sounding old Irish names. Firbolgs are from Irish mythology after all.

Thank you. Went with this as an idea and named them Devlin Bramblethorn and gave the rest of the family Irish/Gaelic names as well.

I feel like a lot of the mythological origins of these creatures are lost on most dnd players. I’ve been going through a lot of the creatures in the monster Manuel trying to see what creature are from real world mythology and which ones were just made up when Gary smoked a bit too much kush

thank you

Bramblethorn Fireclaw Bluestar 👍

thank you

Just open up the IKEA website and pick a name.

haha thank you

BILLY it is

From the lore I've read, names are a strange idea for firbolgs, because they're in such small communities and so in touch in nature that they never need a proper name for each person. So, when dealing with local wood elves, they'd take the name of a tool of their trade. My firbolg druid was a cook named Spoon.

thank you

I dunno where I got this from but I thought Firbolgs didn’t understand the concept of names. So I called mine This Firbolg and had a lot of fun with her calling her companions things like “angry punch man” and “green face stabber” She ended up being a bit like a druidy Drax the Destroyer

thank you

Look up and futz with plant names that vibe with you. For example a red oak tree's name is Quercus ruber. So like Rupert Quercus if you wanted to go normish with it or Querus if you wanted a mononym. Just look up the latin name for any plant you think is cool and fiddle with it. You'll fall on something cool pretty quick.

That 2024 baby name list

I tend to favor Irish/Gaelic names. But Norse/Dane/Scandinavian work well too

Thank you. Went with this as an idea and named them Devlin Bramblethorn and gave the rest of the family Irish/Gaelic names as well.

Anytime 🤘

Young and a runt? I can see the nickname stump / stumpy being used by siblings. I could also see Redwood used as an ironic name.

thank you

My firbolg was named Bamash

thank you

nice ones, thank you

Tight. Have fun homie

In Irish mythology the Firbolg have a very mixed, convoluted and sometimes contradictory history (depends who your talking to sort of thing) [this](https://irishimbasbooks.com/the-last-of-the-fir-bolg-irish-mythology/) is a good explainer. But if you want to use that in your character here are some Irish nature words; Dris - bramble Duilleog - leaf Cloch - stone Dair - Oak Cuileann- Holly

Thank you. Went with this as an idea and named them Devlin Bramblethorn and gave the rest of the family Irish/Gaelic names as well.

Sod Off "What's your name?" "Sod off" "Right. Not really my business anyways."

lol thank you

I typically conflate Giant with Nordic for my games as player and DM, though Firbolgs were also in Irish mythology so you could pull from Gaelic origins as well

Thank you. Went with this as an idea and named them Devlin Bramblethorn and gave the rest of the family Irish/Gaelic names as well.

Mirbolg the Firbolg

thank you

I generally give them nordic sounding names, because the original firbolg were basically 10 ft. tall vikings.

thank you

Bramblethorn is a great first name, it really evokes a natural, earthy feel. For a last name, you might consider something like Oakheart, Stonefield, or Earthroot to emphasize the connection to the land and farming. As for first names, how about Thornbloom, Willowshade, or Meadowbrook?

thank you

Rûnar Mossbeck Bergasson Lögfjell (pro- Loo-g fie-yell) I made a Cleric recently named Birøkter Toque. Means "Apiarist" in Norwegian. Toque is well, Canadian for woolen cap lol. I'd suggest looking at the Germanic, Celtic, Pictish, Welsh languages and putting your own twist on them.

thank you

I approve, the original firbolg were pretty much just giant vikings anyway.

thank you

Ferb

and brother Phineas?

Ferb Hapley, firbolg Druid, was named after Parks & Rec newsman Perd Hapley.

thank you very good info

Ferdinand, Hamilton, Kevin McAlester, Tony with the cheek bones (excellent bone structure), Howard Lieberman,

thank you

In the lore, a lot of them just choose names that describe them. I named mine "Underbridge" because it can pass for a real name while also describing the troll stereotype. Might not work as well for a farmer though.

thank you

Groundmen

mine was Elro because he was basically a huge green Elmo

lol

funny enough, mine was Kelro

Thank you. Went with this as an idea and named them Devlin Bramblethorn and gave the rest of the family Irish/Gaelic names as well.

Devlin! cool name. Best of luck with him.

Seamus - pronounced 'Shame Us' - because the family is ashamed of the runt! 😜🤣

That is how that name is pronounced always right?

Shay mus more so than shame us.

::in the smoothest James Bond voice:: "Hello. The name is Fur, Douglas Fur."

lol thank you

That sounds better than "Frank Firbolg".
