Take two (tried this before, but in the wrong part of the forum).
Long story short, I need some Elvish names that could blend, not too obtrusively, into English speaking society. For now I need at least one, a female name for a main character. Something attractive though not too weird. Eventually I'll need a few others, mostly female.
I'm working on a novel; current history (non-fantasy), sort of romantic thriller, in which the Eldiel (Elves) are a reality, though rare, and quietly blended in to human society.
I've seen some short lists of names, but most would stand out as really different, and these 'Eldiel' don't want to be recognized as anything other then human. Yeah, I know that within the story they could just take regular human names, but I would rather they had Elvish ones that just didn't stand out. If that makes sense.
I've also seen a name generator, but don't know how realistic it would be, and the process for sampling Elvish names is...clumsy.
I thought of making something up, but I don't have enough understanding of the (preferably Quenya) language to know how you would even begin to do that.
If anyone is enough into the language study, and would be willing to dialogue with a new writer, it would be incredibly awesome.
By the way, my online presence is sporadic, so I'll respond to any communication as soon as I can. And if you wouldn't mind an email dialogue, I would appreciate a note at

Thank you ahead of time.
