What makes a Wood Elf name
Wood Elf names stay short and easy to say, built from nature imagery: trees, rivers, leaves, and animals. That's the opposite instinct from High Elf names, which run longer and more formal. A name like Fernith ("swift fern") or Rinwyn ("river joy") reads as grounded rather than regal, which fits how Wood Elves are usually written across fantasy fiction and games.
This groundedness usually extends to how the name is used day to day, too: Wood Elf culture in most tabletop and fiction traditions treats a name as a working label rather than a title, so nicknames and shortened forms are common and not seen as disrespectful the way they might be for a High Elf. A ranger or scout might go by just the first syllable of their full name in casual company, saving the complete form for formal introductions.
