Elf Names, Page 3

Flowing, melodic names for high, wood and moon elves.

FAQ

What makes a good elf name?

Long vowels, soft flowing consonants and a musical rhythm. Pair a lyrical first name with a two-word nature surname like Moonwhisper or Silverleaf for that classic high-elf feel.

Do elves have surnames in D&D?

Yes. Elf family names are usually descriptive compounds drawn from nature or the stars, think Nightbreeze, Dawnrunner or Starfall, passed down through a house or lineage.

Are these names for high, wood or moon elves?

All of them. The melodic style suits high, wood, moon (sun) and even eladrin elves. Swap the nature surname to match a woodland, coastal or celestial theme.

Can I use these elf names for other games?

Absolutely. They work for Pathfinder, video games, novels and any fantasy setting that needs graceful, long-lived elven characters.
