Four ways to name a half-elf
Human first name + elven surname: "Tomas Silverleaf", which suits a character raised by humans who knows their elven parent. Elven name, human nickname: "Thalendir", called "Tal" by everyone in town. Blended name: "Elaric", "Seris", "Lianne", which sound like both. Chosen name: a character who rejected both heritages and picked a new one, like "Wren" or "Ash".
