How hobbit names work

Hobbits name their children the way English villagers once did. Boys get old-fashioned names, many ending in -o (Bilbo, Frodo, Bungo), and girls are often named after flowers and gems (Primula, Belladonna, Rose). Surnames come from the land and the home: Baggins, Underhill, Proudfoot, Brandybuck. Even a hobbit hole gets a name, like Bag End. Describe your hobbit, their family and their village, and the generator writes original names that sound like second breakfast in the Shire.

5 tips for naming a hobbit

  1. Go old-fashioned

    Hobbit first names sound like a country village a century ago: Wilmot, Barnaby, Cicely, Mabel. Modern names break the spell.

  2. End boys' names in -o

    Bramlo, Ludo, Hamlo: a soft -o ending is the quickest way to sound like the Shire.

  3. Name girls after plants

    Flowers, herbs and berries are the hobbit tradition: Tansy, Sorrel, Bryony, Marjoram.

  4. Take the surname from the land

    Hobbit surnames describe a place or a home: -foot, -bottom, -burrow, -bank, -hill. Barleyfoot or Hollowbank sounds right at once.

  5. Name the hole too

    A hobbit is known by their home. Bramble End or Hollyhock Hole gives your character an address and a story.
