You know what I hate? When I play into Morrowind and then I notice that there is just something that doesn't seem right. This time, instead of a race being too short or a need for better items, it is the name. I've been playing (and completing) Morrowind and it's expansions for about a year now over and over again, but with NO LORE FRIENDLY NAMES!!! Thank goodness I didn't even start the Caius Cosades quest line yet, my character's name is completely Lore unfriendly. It's too Japanese based, I mean "Hayato Mizushi"? Do you see any Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer, Orc, Argonian, Khajiit, Breton, Imperial, Redguard, Nord with a name like that?

Jeez

So I need help for naming: an Altmer, a Bosmer, a Dunmer, and a Khajiit.

Use the Morrowind name generator

That's unfortunate that you hate yourself for making bad names.

But here are some great Name Generators, to help create Lore friendly names that fit perfectly into the game:

and....
... http://www.silgrad.com/morrowind/rangen/... the one at Silgrad.com is dead now.

But you can also just check the Wiki and use a name from another TES game. Like a name from Skyrim or Daggerfall. As long as you have the correct Race, you'll know it's Lore friendly.


Some ideas for you....
Altmer: Mirknarovi, Eldanov, Trishena.... (noble sounding elf names, usually no family name)
Bosmer: Berdiril, Galessek, Thachel... (exotic sounding names, usually no family name)
Dunmer: Feldrena Thernsour, Gildrish Rethelosk, Shandenesa Othasha... (usually longer/harsher sounding names, almost always with a family name)
Khajiit: Ok, this can get complicated, so I'll quote the Wiki.....
But you can be creative, because that's not all the options. Khajiit names are very foreign, which allows flexibility.... J'Shona, Tsakara, Mo'nunk, Zah'shun, Rikarp


Naming a character is pretty much the easiest thing about the entire game..
- It doesn't affect gameplay
- and you can use your imagination!
It can be fun to get something that feels right, so I hope I gave you some ideas.

Very helpful! I needed those examples and explanations of race-naming! Now tell me if these sound good and lore-friendly:

Altmer: Vindicciuos

Bosmer: Peotirk

Dunmer: Ansharor Senkursul (I might scratch out the last name tradition for Dunmer)

Khajiit: Ze'Khan

?

Vindicciuos sounds like an Imperial name. Imperial names are mostly based on Roman, which means anything ending in "ious" sounds like it's from the Empire.
Altmer names usually end softly, like "en" or "il" or "we" or "na"

When I play a Dunmer, I usually pick a family name that already exists. Like Othrenim or Andarys, etc. (This way I only have to invent the first name.)

Another option would be http://ebon.pyorre.net/.

It has 12 core chapters that I find very lore friendly with TES.

Altmer (Quenya) = Calacáno
Bosmer (Sindarin) = Bralgor
Orismer (Black Speech) = Snat Gro Glúrgash (Gro/Gra inserted)
Dunmer and Khajiit are both tough, so it takes some creative work for these two.
Nord (Viking or Finnish) = Tholf Heignar
Breton (Aurthurian) = Elence Garvan
Redguard (Westron) = T?n Raban
Imperial (Latin) = Attalius Varro
