Naming a Half-Elf
Half-elves are common in tons of different games and universes, like D&D, Pathfinder, WoW, and ESO. But how are half-elf half-humans named? Here are the three main things you need to know:
- Your name will reflect your preference or immersion into the culture of either part of yourself: your human side, and your elven side. For example, the name "Xorondil" is pretty elven, and it reflects a deep connection to elven roots, but "Lumen" is a common human name, and might show more humanness.
- Like humans, elves follow first-and-last naming conventions. So whether you favor the elven or the human side, you'll need a first and last name.
- Half-elves reflect a connection between the commonplace and the magical. The name should reflect that. It should feel familiar and based in reality, but with a fantastical edge to it, too.
