Naming a half-elf artificer
A half-elf artificer carries half-elf naming tradition into the artificer's calling. Half-elf names sit between two worlds: the flowing vowels of elven naming softened by the plainer, grounded sounds of human tradition. The result feels familiar and slightly exotic at once. An artificer — an inventor who pours magic into metal and gear — tends toward crisp, workshop-flavoured names, often paired with a maker's mark. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.

Half-Elf naming conventions
A half-elf given name often borrows an elven prefix (Ael-, Syl-) but ends more simply than a full elven name would. Surnames tend to be descriptive and bicultural: Evenwood, Starling, Greymantle.
