My current thought is that four new templates: Template:NamePartSindarinMale, Template:NamePartQuenyaMale, Template:NamePartSindarinFemale, and Template:NamePartQuenyaFemale should be created, and the current Template:NamePartElfTitle should be renamed to Template:NamePartQuenyaTitle. Then four other templates (Template:NameSindarinMale, Template:NameSindarinOrQuenyaMale, Template:NameSindarinFemale, and Template:NameSindarinOrQuenyaFemale) could be created to combine names with the appropriate factions (and to create the possibility of Quenya names with titles). Finally, Template:NameSindarin and Template:NameSindarinOrQuenya could be created to generate male or female names with the appropriate factions at random; and Template:NameElfMale, Template:NameElfFemale, and Template:NameElf could be changed to use the templates just mentioned above to create names of Elves from all factions. I'm not really sure what to do about Template:NamePartElfMale and Template:NamePartElfFemale, though. I suppose they could be renamed to Template:NamePartSindarinMale and Template:NamePartSindarinFemale.

What do you think? I just wanted to double-check with an admin before making such drastic changes.

Sounds about right. Okay, I'll start working on this, then. Thank you very much for your feedback! I also have a question about the Elven name Easter eggs: the Names page states that Elves from certain factions may be named "Ithilion", "Goran", "Glaerdir", or "Faenor Celebrî" as Easter eggs. The names "Ithilion", "Goran", and "Glaerdir" are all found in the current Sindarin male name list, but I cannot find the name "Faenor" in that list, nor the title "Celebrî" in the Quenya titles list. They were certainly in the Elven male and Elven title lists before, though. I checked through the mod's code and couldn't seem to find anything there that would create an Elf named "Faenor Celebrî", as of the current update. Would you (or somebody else who reads this message and knows how to examine the code) be willing to double-check this for me, please? Perhaps Faenor's name was accidentally removed? Or am I just missing something?

I can't check the mod right now, but I could well imagine his name being intentionally removed from the mod after he left the community with great smoke, insulting the mod team. Oh, I see. That would make sense then. I wasn't aware of that incident.
