Lord of the Rings Online: Exclusive Guide to Elven Names

As people gear up for the launch of Lord of the Rings Online, it is important to know how to name your Elf and what those names mean. Turbine has included a group of prefixes and suffixes in their name generator and today contributor Max Steele looks at the Elven names they offer and what they mean. With this guide, players can make educated and intelligent names for their character that not only sound good, but also mean something.

n the spirit of immersion in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings Online offers naming recommendations appropriate to your character's race and gender. But do you know what your name means?

Ulthir might sound good at character generation, but you've just named your character "Odor Face" in Elven. Andtaran, meaning "Long Stiff Man", is probably more suggestive than you intend. And Nimuil sounds wizardly, but it actually means "Pale Seaweed". But if you knew to name your Captain Halthalion ("Exalted Hero") or your Burglar Curwe ("Crafty") you'd be in good shape.
