Generate verdan names in the style of D&D's Acquisitions Incorporated: short, bubbly one- and two-syllable names like Pelleb, Ukri and Quelli, plus adopted surnames, bynames and hometown epithets for a race that borrows its naming from whoever raised it.
About verdan names
Verdan are the green-skinned goblinoids introduced in Acquisitions Incorporated for D&D 5e: a young race reshaped by the chaos entity That-Which-Endures, curious, telepathic, and prone to sudden physical changes as they grow. Their names reflect that youth. Verdan have no ancient naming tradition of their own, so the examples in the book are short and unfussy, one or two syllables with soft doubled consonants and open endings: Pelleb, Ukri, Kedda, Quelli, Senneck, Aanda, Thorbeck, Rit. They sound like goblin names with the menace sanded off, which is exactly the point.
Because verdan usually take names from whoever raised them, a surname is a choice rather than a given. Some carry a human or halfling family name from a foster home (Pelleb Greenshift, Tarri Halloway), some use a hometown epithet (Arrik of Waterdeep), and some earn a byname that describes a molt or growth spurt, since verdan literally change shape as they age (Fenna Twicegrown, Kibba Thirdskin). A handful adopt plain nouns as names, the way a child might pick a word it likes.
The list mixes the published verdan names with original ones built on the same phonology, then adds surnamed and epithet forms so you can name a player character, a clerk at a Head Office franchise, or a whole verdan enclave in one pass.
Tips for choosing a name
- Keep the given name to one or two syllables with a doubled consonant (bb, dd, ll, rr, kk) and a vowel or soft -eth/-ik ending; that is the published verdan sound.
- Pick the surname by backstory: a human or halfling family name if the verdan was raised in a town, an elven or dwarven one if raised by those folk, or no surname at all for one fresh from the wild.
- Use a molt byname (Twicegrown, Newhand, Thirdskin) to signal a verdan who has already had one of the race's dramatic growth changes; it is a free roleplay hook.
- For a franchise employee in an Acquisitions Incorporated game, pair a cheerful given name with a stuffy adopted surname (Mopi Thistlewaite) to get the corporate-fantasy comedy right.
- Say the name with the character's telepathy in mind: verdan introduce themselves mind-to-mind, so short names that are easy to 'hear' land better at the table.
Frequently asked questions
What do verdan names sound like in D&D?
The verdan names listed in Acquisitions Incorporated are short and friendly: Ahgark, Dorn, Pelleb, Rit, Ukri and Xobar for males, Aanda, Bree, Kerra, Quelli, Shaldra and Zenna for females. Most are one or two syllables with doubled consonants and end in a vowel, -k, -th or -us.
Do verdan have surnames?
Not traditionally. Verdan are a new race and take surnames from the culture that raised them, if at all. A human-raised verdan might be Tarri Halloway, a halfling-raised one Hem Proudfoot, while one from the wilds might go by a single name or a byname like Twicegrown.
Are verdan the same as goblins?
They are goblinoids but not goblins. Verdan begin life goblin-sized and can grow to hobgoblin size after a sudden change, and they are peaceful and curious rather than cruel. Their names borrow the goblin sound without the harsh gr- and sk- clusters, which is why the list leans softer than a goblin name generator.
Can I use these names for a verdan player character?
Yes. Pick a given name you can say in one breath, decide where your character was raised to choose a matching surname or epithet, and consider a molt byname if your verdan has already changed once. Pelleb Greenshift or Quelli of Red Larch both work as full PC names.
