Naming an elf monk
An elf monk carries elf naming tradition into the monk's calling. Elven names favour flowing vowels and soft consonants — ae, ia, th, l, r — and rarely end abruptly. A name is meant to sound like music when spoken aloud, reflecting a culture that lives long enough to treat language as an art form in its own right. A monk — a student of body, breath, and inner balance — tends toward spare, contemplative names, sometimes a single syllable or a virtue. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.

Elf naming conventions
An elven given name is typically two to four syllables, often built from a meaningful prefix (Ael- 'sun', Syl- 'star') joined to a root and a gendered ending (-ar and -on lean masculine, -a and -ia lean feminine). Many elves also carry a house or clan name such as Windwhisper or Starflower, used formally and among kin.
