Some quick legends-trawling:

Nunòre Spurtjuices, Forgotten Beast.

Erdisuth, "The Infinite Nightmare", Forgotten beast.

"Drinkis", Female Kobold. {Like Sankis, but even drunker and a kobold?}

"Stinkus", Male Kobold. {Really, game?}

"Beeris", Female Kobold.

And, to top it off, "The Mysteries of Reproduction", a Claro Opal-Bound Codex.

I'd watch the adventures of Drinkis, Stinkus and Beeris. It'd be a fantastic comedy about kobold drinking buddies on the pub crawl of a life-time - including the parts where they run screaming from fortress taverns when spotted.

That would be a fairly amusing short story. The thought I had for their oddly-nonsensical, yet language-like names was that their civ had been affected by exposure to other species. On the other hand, most of them were born in the first few years of history.

I'm wondering...how are Kobold names generated anyway?

That is honestly a very interesting question.

I've got the world to upload if you want to check for accidental modding or something.

Toady made some sort of garbled mess generator for creatures with UTTERANCES in their raws, which spits out the kobold nonsense they use for everything.

If a creature has both utterances and CAN_SPEAK they can actually hold a conversation!

I thought I heard somewhere that kobolds had both. They're capable of speech, they just don't really communicate very well.

Not normally, in the vanilla game. They can only gibber madly and stab you.

Tacnuura Thretelmuthro, "Ghostdie the Final Dead" a saltpeter slab. Seem a bit redundant to anyone else?
Also, Untitled legendary forgotten beast parchment scroll. Just find it appropriate a forgotten beast parchment scroll got that.

"Goose: Slowly Nobody Will Tell". The work has no particular subject, but the form is "concerning someone recently deceased".

"Fouled Water Might Help was a legendary chimpanzee parchment scroll. Written on the item is a manual entitled Fouled Water Might Help, authored by Ozo Hoodbear. It concerns the connection between disease and fouled water. Overall, the prose is not awful, but not very good either."

So... he's being sarcastic?

"Time Spent With Animals And The Climate was a legendary chameleon devil parchment scroll. Written on the item is a manual entitled Time Spent With Animals and the Climate, authored by Are Bridelistened. It concerns the ways that creatures are suited to the climates in which they live. The writing is forceful. Overall, the prose is not awful, but not very good either."
