Generate LOTRO character names that pass the lore check and are unlikely to be taken on your server: Sindarin and Quenya names for Elves and High Elves, Old English names for Rohirrim, Gondorian names, Norse-style names for Dwarves, and Shire and Bree-land names for Hobbits and Men.

About lotro names

The Lord of the Rings Online has a naming policy most MMOs do not: names must be 'consistent with the lore of Middle-earth,' and the names of Tolkien's own characters are reserved, so you cannot play as Legolas or Thorin. Names are also unique per server, and the obvious ones (Eowyn with one letter changed, anything ending in -legolas) were taken years ago. The way to get one that passes the policy and is still free is to build it from the right language for your race.

Elves of Lindon, Rivendell, Lórien and Mirkwood use Sindarin: soft l, r and th, and endings like -ion, -dir, -wen, -iel, -eth (Celairon, Laerwen, Thurindir). High Elves use Quenya, which sounds more Latin (Calanáro, Lossëwen, Quendil). Men of Rohan use Old English names as Tolkien did (Aldhelm, Leofwyn, Wulfric). Men of Gondor use Sindarin too (Adragil, Baranor). Dwarves take Old Norse names from the Dvergatal, the list Tolkien used for Thorin's company (Skirfir, Hannar, Dargrim). Hobbits want a homely English first name and a Shire family name (Wilibald Goodbody, Melilot Brockhouse), and Bree-landers use plant-derived surnames (Heathertoes, Rushlight, Mugwort). Beornings use bear-flavored Old English (Beornulf, Hildegrim).

Every name here follows those rules and avoids Tolkien's reserved characters, so they should clear the name filter and be free to claim.

Tips for choosing a name

  • Match the language to the race before anything else. A Sindarin name on a Dwarf or a Norse name on an Elf will look wrong to other players and can be reported under the naming policy.
  • Single-word names are the norm; use the optional surname field for Hobbits and Men (Took, Bolger, Appledore) rather than cramming it into the first name.
  • If your first choice is taken, change the ending rather than the spelling: Galadhir to Galadhron, Leofwyn to Leofrun. Random letter swaps and doubled vowels are the fastest way to get flagged.
  • Accents are allowed in LOTRO names (ú, é, æ) but many players cannot type them, so friends will struggle to /tell you. Choose a version that works without them or be prepared to be called by a nickname.
  • Check the name on the LOTRO character-creation screen on your server before committing to it in your head; the 'name already taken' message is the only reliable test.

Frequently asked questions

What names are not allowed in LOTRO?

The rules prohibit names of Tolkien's characters (Aragorn, Arwen, Gimli), real-world or modern names (Kevin, Xx_Shadow_xX), titles, offensive terms, and names that are not consistent with Middle-earth. Minor spelling tweaks of canon names (Legolass, Aragron) are also routinely renamed by the moderators.

What makes a good LOTRO Elf name?

Use Sindarin for standard Elves: two or three syllables built from elvish roots with endings like -ion, -dir, -dhel or -wen for males and -iel, -wen or -eth for females, for example Thurindir or Laerwen. High Elves should lean Quenya, with -ë, -ië and -ndil endings such as Lossëwen or Nárendil.

How should I name a Hobbit or Man of Bree?

Hobbits take short English-sounding first names (Posco, Myrtle, Wilibald) with botanical names for women, plus a Shire family name like Goodbody, Proudfoot or Brandybuck. Bree-landers use plain English first names and plant surnames such as Heathertoes, Goatleaf and Rushlight.

Do I have to avoid names from the books entirely?

Only the reserved canon characters. Using Tolkien's family names for Hobbits, real Old English names for Rohirrim, or Dvergatal names Tolkien did not use for Dwarves is exactly how the game expects you to name a character.
