Thanks for the name!
Just a name is all I need to brainstorm an adventure or a piece of campaign history.

Ok, I'm gonna throw out a couple for you, since I've just introduced a bunch of first level characters to a community of elves and I think it would be cool to have genuine elven names for the important npc's. 
The person they'll be dealing with most often is the one I'm most worried about. I'd like his name to translate to mean something like 'watcher over the wyrm', since his most important job is keeping tabs on the local dragon.
The other significant npc's are less important. In no particular order:
Storm Reaver (alt. Storm Master or Storm Conquerer)
Song of Wisdom (alt. Singer of Wisdom)
Master of the Seventh Wind (alt. Lord or Ruler of the Seventh Wind)
Steel Dancer
Death Rider
Shadow of Glory
Keeper of Light and Darkness
And, for a special guest villain: Winter's Soul
Thanks!

Well, then - "Amin diol lle, Tororentinco."
Since the elvish translation of "rider" isn't listed, how about 'Death Horse-master', instead?
And how would you translate 'Winter's Soul'? I think it's a good name for that rarest and most evil of villains: an elvish Lich necromancer...

Re: Nice so far!
Well, they're just recapping past episodes on 'Survivor' now, so I think I can squeeze this in. (It's a comedy, not a reality show, no matter what anyone says. )
Rider/Citizen of the Brass Storm-city - no word for brass or whirlpool
The Vortex/Whirlpool of Raging/Angry Fire - no words for votex or void
The Black Crawling Demon Tower - Tel' Raukobaradmor Tanyabel
- Tel' Raukominasmor Tanyabel
(the black demon tower that moves)
try to be more broad and less narrow in your description if at all possible, generic words work better, since I can only translate what's in the dictionary.
The Darkness that Burns/Consumes the Sky/Air/Heaven - Tel'huine tanya Vastel'vilya (the darkness that consumes the air)
Sage of the Mist/Clouds - Sintartel'hisie (sage of the mist)
The Horned Wolf - Tel' Draugtilion

A NOTE ON PRONOUNCIATION:
This is straight out of the Silmarillion, so TAKE NOTE.
CONSONANTS
C - always has the value of k, never s; thus Celeborn is 'Keleborn', not 'Seleborn'
CH - always has the value of ch in Scotch lock or German buch, never that of ch in English church.
DH - is always used to represent the sound of a voiced ('soft') th in English, that is the th in then, not the th in thin.
G - always has the sound of English g in get; thus pronounciation is as in begin, not gin.
VOWELS
AI - has sound of the English eye.
AU - has the value of the English ow in town; thus the first syllable of Sauron is like English sour, not sore.
EI - has the sound of English grey.
IE - should not be pronounced as in English piece, but with both the vowels i and e sounded, and sun together; thus Ni-enna, not 'Neena'.
UI - has the sound of English ruin.
AE and OE - ae may be prounced in the same way as ai, and oe as in English toy.
EA and EO - are not run together, but constitute two syllables; these combinations are pronounced: ea - ay-ah , eo - ey-oh[/i].
U - should be pronounced oo.
ER, IR, UR - before a consonant or at the end of a word, should not be pronounced as in enlish fern, fir, fur but as in English air, eer, oor.
E - at the end of words is always pronounced as a disctinct vowel. it is likewise pronounced in the middle of words. pronounced as eh.
Hope this helps.
