How do half-elf names work?

Half-elves often feel caught between two worlds, and their names can show it. Some get an elven first name and a human family name, some the other way round, and some a name that blends both, with a human start and an elven ending.

Ask who raised your half-elf. Raised by elves, lean toward longer flowing names; raised by humans, keep it short. A half-elf who uses a shortened version of a long elven name is a classic and easy choice.
