Keep it short and sharp
Goblin names snap: Snik, Rokk, Glop. One or two syllables with hard k, g and z sounds work best.
Name them for a habit
Goblins often go by what they do or how they look: Quickpocket, Twitchfinger, Torchnose.
Give the boss a title
A goblin boss always calls itself something grand. Boss Gnarlgut or King Snotbrick shows the ego and the grime.
Match the lair
Swamp goblins sound wet, like Murkle or Slimetoe. Cave raiders sound sharper, like Gutstab or Krugg.
Name the tribe
Tribe names are grim and grubby: The Black Teeth, Rustfang, Ratbiter. Give the party a banner to hate.

Short, harsh and a little silly. Use hard sounds like k, g and z, or a nickname for a habit or a scar.

Give minions one-word names you can say fast, like Snik or Krugg. Save titles like Boss or King for the leader.

Pick something grim tied to teeth, bones or dirt, like Gnawbone, Mudskull or The Twelve Knives.

Yes. Goblins often work best as comic villains, and names like Cogsnot or Kingpin Squelch play to that.
