BG3 Elf Name Generator

Baldur's Gate 3 lets you roll a high elf, a wood elf or a drow, and each subrace sounds different when you read the names aloud. High elves (sun and moon elves in Forgotten Realms terms) carry long, liquid names full of l, r, th and open vowels: Astarion Ancunín is the model, and classic Realms names like Erevan, Laucian, Ielenia and Anastrianna follow the same music. Surnames are often translated nature compounds such as Galanodel (Moonwhisper) or Amastacia (Starflower), so a high elf can be named either in Elvish or in Common without breaking lore.

Wood elves in BG3 are the Emerald Grove druids: Halsin, Kagha, Rath. Their names are shorter and rougher, often two syllables, and many go by a single name. If you want a surname, a plain forest compound like Thornroot or Mossbrook reads as more authentic than another flowery Elvish one. Drow are the third option and the sharpest. Lolth-sworn names use hard z, x and double consonants (Minthara, Viconia, Nere, Araj) and are always paired with a house: Baenre, Oblodra, DeVir, Xorlarrin. A Seldarine drow who has left the Underdark can keep the house name or drop it entirely.

Pick a full name for dialogue and journals, or a bare given name if your Tav prefers to stay mysterious.
