I prefer names based on prescription drugs.

I have used/seen:

Just do a search there are thousands of them and for some reason a lot have a real fantasy flavor.

edit: and by "used" I mean as a character name.

I prefer Seroquel. Its an anti-psychotic that I take to help with my insomnia. :D

I once played with a Novigen, who instantly became Novocain before he even saw the table. Fitting, for a cleric, I think.

Apologies for the thread necromancy, but I seem to keep coming back to this thread (naming Elves is a horrible, harrowing experience.) I'm about to play an Iscarel Fallen-leaf (or Willow-down). "Izzy" sounds more than rockstarish enough for my tastes...

Shimanori ao Sansaorei, Kuroyi Greyspear and mostly Sithi-names by Tad Williams "Green Angel Tower" series. Hmmm...Aditu;).

When in High School, my sister was prone to name her elves after alcohol. Zinfadel, Bacardi, etc.

My half elven bard went by Subotai, but his given name was Ivasalin.

Some companies are good for names. Avantis sounds kind of elven, I switched it around for Tis'neva for a changing (since they maken generic drugs, it seemed to fit.

English to Welsh dictionary for all your elf naming needs.

EDIT: I typically take what it gives me and clean it up a bit.

Butch - 18 Str, 8 Int - Hey there must be some elves like that!

My wife has a book of exotic herbs that she uses, just like pharmas, they tend to lend themselves to good elven and half-elven names.
Caraway Paprika.

Back in 1e, I realized just how young, maturity-wise, a first-level elf adventurer was. So I made a spoiled brat of a fighter-thief.

He went by the name Ogre-Eater.

Cowardly and spoiled, he always demanded to be taken seriously because he was the oldest. He was able to avoid getting into combat enough to climb a whole level without being attacked once. But in the end, his stupidity got the best of him, and he died.

At the hands of an ogre.

[Foghammer]

Elisar Rainwell aka Foghammer (Night Elf) : Would be a multiclass druid warrior if that worked. I had two physically identical characters, one for each class.

[Qik]

Currently playing an elven archer named Quioan Scorchsong, which I'm particularly pleased with.

[Fallen_Mage]

I have one that I usually use for my first Elf of any game with Elves.

Ithriel Latairn (ith-re-el la-tear-n)

Just made it up one day, it just sounded Elven.

[LazarX]

I'm fond of the name I gave my Night Elf huntress.

Drahliana Moonrunner.

[Argus The Slayer]

I coined the name "Eldarion" from Tolkien's elvish, meaning "Son of Elf". I was using the name while playing WoW (or some other online RPG) one time and ran into a guy that seemed surprised that I was using the name -- because HE had coined the same same from Tolkien's tongue.

Heh, now my next dwarf going to use that as a swear word. "Son of an elf!"

[William Ronald]

Linguistics is a hobby of mine. So, one of my Pathfinder Society characters is Teveil Ellylion. (Teveil is a variation of tevel, world, from Hebrew and Ellyllion is derived from the Cymric (Welsh) word ellyl, elf. So, the meaning would be a scion of elves of the world.)

[EM_aka_Elfmeister]

Elfmeister. It's elvish. It means master of elfs.

[Vincent Takeda]

Ah for a moment I read that as Elfminster...

Let me just put this knife away....

[Sissyl]

Drug names are a little too well known for my tastes. However, SUBSTANCE names of drugs, those can be excellent. I think Sildenafil would do pretty well as a name for an elf bardess.

Off the top of my mind, Ellesime from BG2 is a pretty good name.

[Durinor]

I have an elf character named Redbranch. The name itself is suitably wood elfish, but it also has connections to Irish mythology:

My favourite elf name however has to be Beho...

It took me quite a bit of time to decide upon the elvish name that I use at conventions and faires, etc. Finally I settled on something that was particular to my difference of my family's heraldry, basing the family name off of the badge from our heraldry (i.e. the Trillium flower):

Laithoron Aernelóth
(Eagle-spirit Holy-trillium)

Caveat: Just noticed this is in the "advice" forum. Mind you, if this is a request for names to use in your own campaign, I'm not sure how I'd feel about someone else using what is essentially my name.

Mind you, if you need a good pocket reference for Quenya and Sindarin, I've always like this little red book by Ruth S. Noel.

I don't have any idea and then I find one website which he provides me lots of elf names...If you want to visit and take your elf names..https://www.elf-names.com

Back when Starcraft had just come out and I was still playing AD&D I ended up creating a Grey Elf called Zîratul Terarieldur. It seemed to roll off the tongue when spoken. When I looked back into Tolkien Elvish this is what it means: -dur means "servant of, devoted to"; ter = place; ara = Noble/Royal; iel-Daughter of. zîr = to desire, to love; a = imperative particle; tul = come

So his first name means: "(necessary) desire to come," whereas his surname means: "servant of the place of the daughter of a noble one."

Kinda makes sense, doesn't it? There was a need for him to arrive to become a servant of a noble daughter's region/place.

Triquelyn Ethrendil is my Elf Divination Wizard's name ;) It doesn't mean anything, I just like how it rolls off the tongue.
