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