Need help with elf name

[BastionLightbringer]

I am playing an wild elf ranger in a upcoming game, but I am drawing a blank picking a name.

All the word combos I come up with sound corny: Greybow, Silvertree. etc

I am looking for a name that humans would know him by, so it doesnt have to be full w apostrophs Ex; My'lys Tyr' le 'palus).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Picking a name is the hardest part of character creation for me.
It's hard for me to come up with non-corny elf names too.

I try to use last names that flow, but aren't a combo of a color and an object, E.G. "silverbow"

One last name I have used is Syldarill. It seems like names that end in "ill" or "lyn" have an elvish sound to me. Just my opinion.

Have you tried http://ebon.pyorre.net/ ?

do your other players frequant EN World?> If not, do as I do I borrow from the names of people. Workds great.

Everyone should play an elf named Blackleaf at least once. Period.

Just remember the #1 rule of Elven Names: They must contain at least 5 apostrophes.

Edit: Crud. The site I linked isn't working anymore.

Here's a couple I've used before:

Novellius
Starwatcher
Aurellion
Vonash
Hern (Hern the hunter, from celtic myth - I think) (Actually used this one for a wild elf sorc/druid combo)

My next Elven Ranger will be named Vaërmar Glorfilith. It'd be cool to know there's another elven ranger in another "dimension" named like him

Some names I have used for elves in my campaigns:

Cyrilen Evandar
Tierowyn Alithrandir
Arithiel Kyri
Elairin Moonglamaer
Rhayna Uvanimere

I try to stay away from apostrophes as much as possible.

I second Patryn's recommendation of the Endless Book of Names. I used to really struggle with names, and EBoN has been a godsend. Well worth the registration price. He's got downloadable modules for various Tolkien elven languages (Sindarin, Quenya), Forgotten Realms, and Greyhawk, as well as lots of real-world languages.
