Halfling names are warm, simple, and unpretentious — the kind of names that suit a folk who prize comfort, good food, and close community over grand titles. A halfling has a given first name, sometimes an affectionate nickname, and a family name that is usually a homey compound describing where the family lives or what they are known for. Those family names are half the charm — Brushgather, Goodbarrel, Greenbottle, Tealeaf, Tosscobble, Underbough — each painting a little picture of pastoral life. Nicknames are common too, and some stick so well that a halfling's given name is all but forgotten by the neighbors.
