    How male elf names are built

    Male endings here mostly close on a consonant, which gives the names a firmer stop than the female list: -or, -dan, -thir, and -ril for wood elves, longer titled endings for high elves, and harder clusters like -szt for drow.

    The start of each name comes from the elf type's own table, so a wood elf start with a male ending sounds outdoorsy and plain, while a high elf start makes the same ending sound formal.

    Questions people ask

    What is a good name for a boy elf?

    For a young elf character, try the D&D generator's Child name setting, which uses short, soft endings. For an adult, pick a length that's easy to say at the table. Medium names usually run three or four syllables and are the easiest place to start.

    What is a good male elf name?

    One that fits the elf's people and is easy to say out loud. Wood elf names here are short and outdoorsy, high elf names are longer and formal, and drow names have harder sounds.

    Can I get first names only?

    Yes. Set Show to First only. Set it to Last only if you want family names instead.

    Why do some names sound like they could be female?

    Neutral endings are included on this page so you get names that work for anyone. The endings table above shows how many male and neutral endings each elf type has.
