Half-elf naming practices are as diverse as half-elves themselves, reflecting their position between two cultures. Those raised among humans often bear human names with perhaps a hint of elven influence in pronunciation or spelling. Those raised by elves might have traditional elven names but often adopt human nicknames for convenience. Many half-elves have two names - one for each culture - switching between them as needed. Some parents give their children names that work in both cultures, like 'Lia' or 'Aldric.' In cosmopolitan areas, half-elves often pioneer new naming trends, creating unique combinations that become fashionable. The choice of name often signals how a half-elf views their identity: fully human, fully elf, or proudly both.
