I’ve built an elf name generator that I think you should check out. Using GPT-3 API from OpenAI, I built a custom elf name generator that can produce elven names based on Tolkien or other factors. I’ve even got an aquatic elf name generator, for example.

The tool only gives the names for free, but I’ve also built an elven backstory generator that you can used. Also using GPT-3, it generates a few hundred words about your elf character that you can use as a basis to flesh out your D&D character sheet.
