I don't have races of the wild. I usually take the names in the PHB and recombine them to form new names. For instance, for family names, Amastacia Amakiir are similar. The actually stand for Starflower and gemflower respectively. So Ama is the ... theres a name for that... that stands for flower. Then, Galanodel and Siannodel means Moonwhisper and Moonbrook respectively. This means that nodel is the... similar to earlier missing word.... for moon. So you combine them to get Amanodel or moonflower.

But even with this, the options are limited. So I'd like an online translator so I can create better elf names. While we're on the subject of "elf stuff" (shhhh elves only :elf: ) where can I look at all of the gods of the elven pantheon for Greyhawk. I'd like to see what my options are beyond Corellon Larethian.
