Naming an elf rogue
An elf rogue carries elf naming tradition into the rogue'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 rogue — a quick-fingered survivor of the urban underworld — tends toward slick names or aliases — the real one is rarely the one they answer to. 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.
