need help with a name

[Balrog]

My personal favorite from my own adventuring (and I have played a plethora of Elven Fighter or Fighter/Mage types over the last 23 years) is named:

Vertigo Cloudspinner.

 

[Prince of Happiness]

Get silmarillion now.

[Quick Leaf]

elf name

I'd have to go with...Eolis, Asa'il, or Adaennor. In addition to Simarillion, the Shannara series by Terry Brooks had some creative names.

Rules of thumb for me-

If you're making up an "elvish" name, include lots of "E"'s, "I"'s, "L"'s, "N"'s, "W"'s and "Y"'s- for some reason, those letters tend to show up in elvish names throughout fiction. "L"'s tend to get doubled if in the middle of the name. "Iellwyn" "Yllwien" "Lyniell"

On the other hand, many elves would rather go by a nickname or a translation to avoid having others butcher their melodic given names. If that is the kind of elf you're looking to play, the tend to go towards the natural "Briar-," "Wood," that sort of thing.

Sometimes they go for names that are descriptive- "Forestwalker," "Swiftwind" A personal favorite name of this kind for an elf I found as a song title- "SoundChaser" by Yes. I used it for a Ranger. If you like it, use it.

Forrester, oh Forrester....
