Naming a half-elf monk
A half-elf monk carries half-elf naming tradition into the monk'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. 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.
