Wood Elf Name Suggestions
I would like some name suggestions for wood elfs. This should hopefully be useful to others as well. Please don't reccomend "Wood Elf" or an npc's name. Thanks

Bosmer names aren't too hard tbh. They're basically variations on what J.R.R. Tolkien established, just like Altmer names.

The common endings for bosmer names are such as -gil, -hil, -lin, -dil, -dan, -thil, -wen, -ond, -nir, -uin, -or, -ir, -val, -hiel, -lallor, -rannir, -las, -lorn, -mir... It's not too hard to make something up. Just avoid hard letters, such as K, X, Q and similar - they're not used.

Making them up is easy when you know the parameters: Eragil, Amhil, Dorlin, Elledil, Dordan, Milthil, Inwen, Argond, Melnir, Danuin, Belor, Omnir, Emneval, Belhiel, Anlallor, Ehrannir, Amlas, Istlorn, Telmir... I could make an extensive list if I had any incentive.

If you're feeling particularly uncreative, a good suggestion is to look up names of Bosmer figuring in books or previous TES installations, and just roleplay as being named after them or such.

Whenever I need a name for a character I use one of the many online name generators, here's one for example: http://fantasynamegenerators.com/bosmer_names.php

If I were in the business of naming elves, I would start here for inspiration.
