Pick a style, then generate a hobbit name idea.
Hobbit names sound homely and a little old-fashioned. Tolkien gave most hobbit men short, comfortable names (Bilbo, Frodo, Bungo) and named many hobbit women after flowers and jewels (Primula, Belladonna, Ruby), then paired them with earthy family names like Baggins, Took and Proudfoot.

Tips for a believable hobbit name
Keep first names short and soft, often ending in -o for men (Bilbo, Bodo) or named after a flower for women (Lily, Tansy). Build family names from comfortable countryside words: burrow, bottom, foot, hill, barrel, brook. Avoid grand, heroic-sounding names, because hobbits are proudly ordinary.
Playing D&D? Halflings follow the same pattern, so a hobbit-style name works well for a halfling rogue or bard.
