I have a very exciting question tonight! I’m looking, as my post’s title explains, for sibling names to Morfydd (g). Her name is pronounced MORR-vith (‘th’ as in ‘the’) for an audio pronunciation). It’s a glorious name of Welsh legend.
I’m very thrilled to be picking back up at playing D&D with my dad. We played when I was small, and I was horrid at the game, but I loved it. Morfydd will be my character this campaign! She’s an Elf-by-blood and a bard-by-trade, if you will. Her instruments are as important to her as her bow and arrow. She is well-versed in the lore of the multiverse. And…she is smitten with her family. What to name her siblings!?
Perhaps something else Welsh, to compliment hers? Something Norse or mythic to denote an adventurous flair? Something archaic and whimsical, fit for an elf?
So far, here are names I’m liking. All of them are splendid, but I’m not sure they fit the bill.
brother
Ganymede
Stratford
Wojciech
Loki (Too mischievous? Though, that’s sort of one of the draws with this one, too!)
Odin
Florin
Tadhg
Snær
Wilmot

Morrow
Tasgall

And here are pictures of the Elves you’ll be helping me to name!
I’m open to any of your ideas! Toss anything at me—expand my mind and have fun! And, as well, if you love any of the names I’ve listed and/or don’t feel like making a new suggestion, please by all means write a case for your favorite(s) from my list!
I followed your link as I lived in [name_m]Wales[/name_m] for a few years and know that the Welsh dd is pronounced like the [name_f]English[/name_f] th in though, as opposed to the th in think. I looked in the comments and they posted a correction video How to Pronounce Morfydd (in Welsh) - YouTube
I think [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m], [name_m]Ragnar[/name_m], [name_m]Morrow[/name_m], [name_m]Gable[/name_m], Merryweather (though [name_m]Meriwether[/name_m] looks a little better to me), [name_m]Wycliffe[/name_m], [name_f]Gwyneira[/name_f], [name_f]Ellisif[/name_f], [name_f]Eilonwy[/name_f], [name_u]Wanderer[/name_u], [name_f]Avonlea[/name_f] and Magairlin work well!
I know I suggested some on my topic, but, looking at yours, I’ll also through it: [name_m]Caradoc[/name_m], [name_f]Siofra[/name_f], Fainse, Carrow, [name_u]Clovis[/name_u], [name_f]Ysolde[/name_f], Ayreton, [name_f]Sidonie[/name_f], [name_u]Falcon[/name_u], [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u], Cederyn, [name_m]Tarquin[/name_m], [name_f]Catrin[/name_f], [name_m]Auster[/name_m], [name_u]Lazuli[/name_u], [name_f]Amoret[/name_f], [name_u]Marinell[/name_u], Colewell, Carisbrooke, [name_f]Fiora[/name_f], [name_f]Elestren[/name_f], Yoreth
