Names that don't pick a side
Elves never needed to sort everything into two boxes. These names don't say who you are, but what you care about: a leaf, a word, a way of seeing. They suit a non-binary person, a mysterious character, or simply anyone who doesn't feel at home with the other endings.
Five endings to say it all
- -dil: friend. Galdil, friend of radiance.
- -mir: jewel. Calmir, jewel of the light.
- -las: leaf. Taurlas, leaf of the forest.
- -hen: eye. Anorhen, eye of the sun.
- -beth: word. Sîrbeth, word of the river.
The meaning of every root is in the Elvish dictionary.
Choosing your neutral name
- Start from an image. A forest, a river, a winter sky: the theme often matters more than the ending.
- Trust the sound. -las feels light, -mir precious, -beth more grounded. Say the name out loud and keep the one that makes you smile.
- Think ahead. A neutral name pairs nicely with an Elvish last name, if your character needs one.
