How firbolg names work
Firbolg names read like places, because to a firbolg the distinction barely exists. They compound a Gaelic-tinged first element with a landscape feature — wood, moss, stone, hollow — which is how a people who consider themselves part of the forest would name themselves. Soft, slow and unhurried in the mouth.

Where firbolg names come from
Firbolg names barely exist — and that is the lore, not a gap in it. Fifth edition's firbolgs live so communally that many simply do not use personal names among themselves; they accept names given by outsiders or describe each other by deed and place. The race's roots are the Fir Bolg of Irish myth, so what naming tradition exists leans Gaelic-pastoral: soft openings, landscape words, names that sound like places because to a firbolg the distinction barely matters.
How to build a good one
Two honest options: a Gaelic-tinged given name kept soft and unhurried (Bran, Caora, Fenn), or a descriptive name an outsider might have coined — a landscape noun compound like Rowanroot or Fernhollow. Keep every syllable slow; firbolg names should be impossible to say urgently. Avoid martial elements entirely — a firbolg named anything like "Warhammer" has misread the assignment.
At the table
The namelessness is the hook: a firbolg NPC who answers only to whatever each person calls them becomes a quiet mirror of the party — and the moment they finally state a name of their own choosing is a character beat players will remember. Let the players name them first; let the correction land later.
