Give the first part a flowing rhythm and let the second part supply one clear image. Woods, glades, watch posts and seasonal changes can give a Night Elf name a particular place and history.
Let the first name carry the cadence
Try saying the first name before writing the surname. Aelith has a short opening, while Thalorien has a longer rise and fall. Pick the cadence you can say naturally during a quick introduction.
Choose a second name with a job to do
Moonbough suggests a moonlit canopy. Glenwatch suggests a responsibility. Fernweaver puts a craft in the picture. Choose one of those types of detail based on what you want someone to infer about the character.
Compare three original pairings
Aelith Moonbough is quiet and image-led. Ithilorn Glenwatch fits a lookout. Vaelira Fernweaver suggests someone known for woodland work. Say each pair aloud and choose which half you want to carry into your own version.
