seeking drow elf name

[sithramir]

Any good suggestions? I like names like alak and rizzen but they are typical drow elf names. I just can't seem to find one I like thats not taken.

You are going to get so many "helpfull" suggestions that are variations on a certain popular drow...

Personally, multiple ' are fun.

Phoenix Dark (Thanks to Mr Furious for that one).

 

[Welverin]

if you can your hands on the Drow of the Underdark (2e FR product), there is a list of names in the back (first and last, male and female).

You should call him Tony The Nose.

His close friends call him Ant'ny.

The appendixes (not sure if that's the correct plural) at the end of the Silmarillion and the Book of Lost Tales are a good place for elf names in general, & there are a number of nifty 'dark' names.

Lomear - 'child of gloom'
Kaukarenldar - 'crooked' or perhaps 'crooked one'
Moritarnon - 'door of night' (a place name, but could work for a person)
Amarth - 'doom'
Turamarth - 'master of doom'

Depends on the nature of drow in your own campaign. If it's traditional in their culture to use five-letter names ending with a hard 'K' sound, then suggesting "Dr'zzt" isn't going to be useful when you're looking for "Spock" or "Sarek."

Personally, I like L'Shonda, Kameel, Mo'Eesha, Jamal, Bob, Frank, Joe, John, Lisa, Lucy, Susan, Booger-butt, Stud-muffin, Xeros, Xeroz, Xerox, Tiny, or Darkwind the Destroyer. Good solid drow names all.
