Generate names in the style of the Nac Mac Feegle, the tiny blue pictsies of the Discworld's Tiffany Aching books: a Scots given name with a description in front, such as Wee Angry Tam, Slightly Sober Hamish and Twa-Boots Geordie. The list also has long comparison names, gonnagles, a few keldas, clan names and 11 names from the books as anchors.

About Nac Mac Feegle names

A Nac Mac Feegle name is a plain Scots given name with a description bolted on the front. In Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books, which begin with The Wee Free Men, the six-inch, blue-tattooed, red-haired pictsies explain that a clan has only a few names to go round, so brothers are told apart by size, wits or temper: Rob Anybody, Daft Wullie, Big Yan. When two Jocks are much alike, the description simply grows until it fits.

This list of 1,000 follows that recipe. It has size names (Wee Angry Tam, Muckle Erchie), temper and wits names, long hyphenated comparisons (No'-Quite-as-Daft-as-Daft-Fergus Fergus), names earned by a deed or a theft, drinking, eating and fighting names, brothers told apart by a number, bird-riders, old Feegles and gonnagles, the clan's bards. A clan has one kelda, its mother and ruler, and almost no other women, so kelda names are a small share. Clans are named for where they live, like the books' Chalk Hill clan.

The Scots words are in everyday or literary use, such as muckle (big), crabbit (bad-tempered), glaikit (foolish) and thrawn (stubborn). Eleven names come from the books and are listed in the FAQ; the rest were drafted for this page. It is a fan-made list with no connection to the author's estate or publishers.

How to choose Nac Mac Feegle names

  • Start with the given name, then ask what the rest of the clan would notice first. A Hamish who is rarely seen with a drink becomes Slightly Sober Hamish, and a Malcolm who almost never starts the fight is Mostly Calm Malcolm.
  • For a whole clan in a tabletop game, repeat a given name on purpose and tell the brothers apart the Feegle way: Callum the Elder, Callum the Younger Elder and Callum the Youngest, Aulder than Baith.
  • Say the long names aloud before you commit. No'-as-Sober-as-Sober-Lachlan Lachlan is funny the first time, so give him a short form for the other fifty times he is called in a session.
  • Keep to one kelda and one gonnagle per clan, as the books do. Kelda Morag o' the Thistle Knowe and Ossian the Gonnagle can share a mound with as many brothers as you like.
  • Keep the eleven names from the books for fan fiction and private games. For anything you plan to publish, start from one of the new names and place the character in a world of your own.

Frequently asked questions

How are Nac Mac Feegle names formed?

Take a common Scots given name such as Jock, Hamish or Angus and put a describing word in front of it: size, temper, wits or a deed. Because the brothers of a clan share few given names, the description can run long, as in the books' Not-as-big-as-Medium-Sized-Jock-but-bigger-than-Wee-Jock-Jock. This list does the same with Bigger-than-Wee-Tam-but-No'-Big-Tam Tam.

Which names in this list are from the books?

Eleven: Rob Anybody, Daft Wullie, Big Yan, Hamish, Wee Dangerous Spike, Awf'ly Wee Billy Bigchin, Wee Mad Arthur, Slightly Mad Angus, Medium-Sized Jock, Wee Jock and William the Gonnagle. The other names were drafted for this page in the same style. If one of them happens to match a minor character, that is a coincidence.

What are a kelda and a gonnagle?

The kelda is the mother and ruler of a Feegle clan and usually its only woman, and her husband is the clan's Big Man. The gonnagle is the bard and battle poet, who plays the mousepipes and recites verse dreadful enough to be used as a weapon. In this list they appear as names like Kelda Elspeth of the Peat Hag and Mousepipes Murdoch.

What do the Scots words in these names mean?

Wee and peerie mean small, muckle means big, auld is old, twa is two, heid is head, crabbit is bad-tempered, glaikit is foolish and canny is shrewd. So Muckle Erchie is a big Archie, and Twa-Boots Geordie owns two boots, which the clan clearly thinks worth mentioning. Nae means no and no' means not, as in Nae-Feart Finlay.
