Hello Sinthorion!

How are you?

I have been working on updating the Names page and the corresponding name generator templates. Everything is completed except for the section on Elven names and the Elven name generators, as Elven name generation was changed drastically in. Elven names are now split into Quenya and Sindarin lists, with Wood-elves and Dorwinion Elves only receiving Sindarin names and High Elves, Galadhrim Elves, and Tormented Elves receiving either a Quenya name (with a 20% chance of receiving a Quenya title) or a Sindarin name at random.

It will not be very difficult for me to update the Names page accordingly, but I am seeking your advice on what to do about the name generator templates. 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.

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?

Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful day! (And I'm very sorry that this is so long. I'm sure you're quite busy.) - Adaneth Mirimë
