Dark Elf names

Post » Mon Oct 03, 2011 1:39 pm

Ok, so, after about seven months of rolling around and thinking feverishly at night, I've decided on picking a Dunmer as my first character. Which brings a new problem.

I was orginaly satisfied with Aaros, but... I don't know if its lore acurate. So, guys, help me with some lore acurate names for a Dark Elf, preferably ashlander or Redoran descent. And don't worry about family names. And the six is male.

Please help your friendly neighborhood demented rabbit out. Peace.

some examples of 1st names:

Ralas, Baltis, Sarel, Galvon, Endar, Neven, Arvas, Taras, Rilen and Redras.

My Female Dark Elf is Torvidna Melanna, the Mazoga the orc quest gave me inspiration for the 1st name...last name is completely made up...as far as I know.

Heitsi-eibib, Ashlanders name. It is derieved from a rather interesting African Hero.

Legendary hero of the Khoikhoi (Hottentots). He is the son of a cow and some miraculous grass, eaten by the cow. Heitsi-eibib is a great magician, a patron of hunters, and a superb fighter. One of his feats was defeating the monstrous Ga-gorib. According to legend, he was killed on numerous occasions, after which he always resurrected himself (his cairns are found all over the Khoikhoi lands).

When you reload you are resurrecting yourself in a way. I just find it fitting

Sorry Frank, but you nearly brought an end to OUR world. You're just as bad as Alduin.

Seriously though, theres a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dunmer_Names that I find very helpful. My Dunmer's name will be Meven Selas.
