Plasmoid Name Generator

Plasmoids are the amorphous ooze people introduced in Spelljammer: Adventures in Space for D&D 5e. They have no bones, can squeeze through a one-inch gap, and, most importantly for naming, have no vocal cords. According to the sourcebook they communicate through vibrations and gurgles and take names that are either the closest sounds they can produce, or words borrowed from the languages of the creatures around them. That gives three natural styles of plasmoid name.

The first is the wet, bubbly gurgle: names heavy on gl, bl, pl, oo and squ sounds like Glorbek, Blubbeth, Squelchik or Vlorsh. The second is the repeated syllable, imitating the sound of a plasmoid speaking through its own body: Glub-Glub, Plip-Plop, Sloop-Sloop. The third is the borrowed word, where a plasmoid adopts a term from Common that describes it or the ship it lives on: Puddle, Custard, Quicksilver, Ballast, Ladle. Many plasmoids also earn a descriptive second name from crewmates, such as Vlorsh Who-Fits-Anywhere or Blubbeth Many-Shapes.

The names above are grouped in that order so you can pick a purely alien gurgle for a Rock of Bral trader, a friendly borrowed word for a plasmoid who grew up among humans, or a full name and epithet for a Spelljammer captain.
