Hey guys, stumped for a name for a brothel that caters to halflings and larger folk with darker interests in a campaign I'm writing. this is meant to be a setting for a very dark scene in the game and I wanted the name to reflect it. Any ideas?

A few:

For your height only.
Willy "Wonka" and the "chocolate" factory
The Jountdgrip
Two weapon "fighting"
Hold person
(replace the "" words with similar NSFW versions)
Slogans:
Where small races wield medium and large size weapons one handed, without penalty.
Home of the spells reduce/enlarge body part.
Little people doing big things.
Half the person at half the price.

Halflings are more like small adults than children, though. Midget fetishists, now those it'd cater to.

Insert spaces and apostrophes to taste.

Not 100% sure on that. When I compare the hands of Kender or Halflings to those of Midgets (well, the google search results of it), it doesn't seem to match up like that. I'd say Dwarves are more like Midgets, proportion-wise. Halflings don't really look like children, but they don't look like Midgets either.

The small hole.
The tiny gobblet.
Wee ones for hire.
The big little.
The dumpling house. (It serves food AND sex.)
Tiny holes for big poles. (aka The Tiny.)
The Little House.
Wee Wenches.

I think you guys are suggesting names that don't take the existence of this rather evil aligned place seriously.

You want a name that could sound reputable enough it's not surprising it thrives in an otherwise civilized society. You also want a name that reflects the mentality of the customers. Remember the dm wants this place to have a serious tone, not a self deprecating tone.

I would suggest something like, "A Small Affair".

Yondallas Blessing. Shes a harvest goddess tied to fertility, its a common extrapolation. Comes off as a great front name as well very halfling, and the clerics cannot complain much.

That seems more like a Halfling version of Hooters specializing in pancakes.

Also, yoink. Except not sure where that would fit in...

IIRC, halflings are supposed to be proportionally more busty than human women or gnome ones.

Darker? Hmm. Well, there's a goddess of BDSM sadists and evil dominatrices from the Forgotten Realms, Loviatar. IIRC Ilmater is the god of BDSM masochists.

Dallah Thaun is, IIRC, literally all of the darkness and sneakiness of Yondalla. Has domains like Balance, Halfling, Greed, Trickery, and Feast. But is supposed to be secret, so it'd probably be some sort of code if her name was invoked.

The Halfling Haberdashery. They make clothes too.

Also, Origin of the word Haberdasher just to make this sound a lot better;

The word appears in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Haberdashers were initially peddlers, thus sellers of small items such as needles and buttons. The word is thought to have no connection with an Old Norse word akin to the Icelandic haprtask, which means peddlers' wares or the sack in which the peddler carried them. If that had been the case, a haberdasher (in its hypothetical Scandinavian meaning) would be very close to a mercier (French).

Since the word has no recorded use in Scandinavia, it is most likely derived from the Anglo-Norman hapertas, meaning small ware. A haberdasher would retail small wares, the goods of the peddler, while a mercer would specialize in "linens, silks, fustian, worsted piece-goods and bedding".

Saint Louis IX, King of France 1226–70, is the patron saint of French haberdashers. In Belgium and elsewhere in Continental Europe, Saint Nicholas remains their patron saint, while Saint Catherine was adopted by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers in the City of London.

All that said, how did it become associated specifically with the hat guy.

Chateau Layne (pun on "chatelaine")
<City Name> Circus
Distraction
Dice
Skingame
Scruples
Mischief
Ubilaz (possible word origin for the modern word "evil")


Dice's Distraction or Dice's Chateau Layne could both refer to the same place.

And I can't think of a good name for it, but possibly a reference to making the customer feel like a giant by comparison?

Warm tallow with a still smoking candle for their log...

Flower by Anlise for anyone who's read some of the series Namesake. Gives a great dark connection.
