Tips for a name that sticks
Soft sounds feel elven
Flowing consonants — l, th, w, n, r — and open vowels give elf names their light, lyrical quality. Save the hard k and x sounds for orcs and dragons.
A nature title adds grace
Epithets drawn from moonlight, leaves and song — 'Moonwhisper', 'Dawnleaf' — suit elves beautifully and hint at a long, storied life.
Keep it pronounceable
Even a lyrical name needs to be sayable at the table. If you stumble over it twice, your party will too — trim a syllable.
