So I just watched the second episode and when I saw the goblin kids I started to wonder what happens when they are born? Does Rimuru-sama get to name them (and if he does do they evolve immediately) or do the parents name them (and if they do they evolve like they would if someone else like Rimuru-sama names them) or do they just remain unnamed (and/or unevolved)? Is this explained anywhere in the manga? If not what do you guys think is happening and why?

I watched the anime up til current have read manga up til current and now im in reading the web novel and im on chapter 120 and I still dont know who names them I would assume the most likely is that rimuru would name the children and I cant completely rule out parents naming them but I can say the chances are pretty low because its stated at least in the anime to name something u must be of a much superior species and at this point in time he seems to be naming all the goblins so I would also assume they dont go unnamed

I'm gonna guess Rimuru names em primarily because they're hob goblins. I'm unsure how goblins age, But given the diversity in ages, I assuming that most of them were kids even when they were the lower form of goblins years ago.

I’m more curious where the other children are. I mean, it’s mostly goblins, where are the other species?

I assume their parents name them. If they choose to become soldiers in the future, Rimuru can just overwrite their names like he did with Gabiru.

Yeah I was wondering that as well! I mean we don't know how Ranga's species mate and if they even have females among them so maybe it's something like once every x years and they meet with a female clan of their species or something like that and that's when the magic happens lmao and I think the Orc also don't have the women among them and besides they're too focused on work to even think about children, as for Lizardmen I think it's just too little of a number of them in the Rimuru nation so they could fall in love with each other, almost all of them stayed back home after all, for Kijins/Ogres I would imagine they're too young for that/they haven't met the reproductory age and besides they also don't have many members so they won't force themselves to fall in love with -> and that leaves us with hundreds of goblins who have more than enough choice to find the loves of their life!

uuuuu I really like this idea! I was considering that too but then again I thought why were they unnamed before they met Rimuru if the parents could just give them their name just to call them somehow you know what I mean?

person like benimaru as great magicule capacity after evolving so he can name his children whereas person like normal goblins can do that as it requires lot of magicules that why I think some of the stronger ones name their children whereas weaker monster children will be named by rimiru so that's why I think that

I think they remain unnamed until they become adults, that would be my best guess

I highly doubt Rimuru would be willing to go down the naming Hell again like back in the orcs lord arc lol

based on Milim POV in the LN vol 3 its confirmed that not all JTF denizens are named

I vaguely remember somewhere in the LN its implied(by Rimuru himself) that the kids are named by their parents but with the support of Rimuru or more like the support of Great Sage/ Raphael, ofc in order to minimize the risk of naming.
fyi, Raphael is omnipresent, she can pop up within all the monsters minds under Rimuru. supporting or helping everyone with many things

and everyone ofc thinks Raphael and Rimuru are the same person

I personally think naming their children is not necessary because after their parents was named, their race also evolved so the kids will born with the same race with their parents
