I did this with Dwarven names, and figured that there's going to be more than just Dwarves coming in to Trinity. Here's Elves, taken from the DnD supplement, Races of the Wild.
(In the listing, they go "Elven word" = "English word" and are alphabetical by Elven word.)
First: some tips. -When trying to pronounce them, try saying it in a soft slightly English accent, if possible. I find it's a lot easier. -be lenient/creative in the meanings (e.g. Anenfel = Hand of Autumn's Lake = Lake of Autumn's Hand = Autumn's Hand = Autumn Lake)
You have four options when picking names: -one prefix + one suffix -one prefix + two suffixes -(one prefix + one suffix) + (one prefix + one suffix) -one prefix + an apostrophe + one prefix + one suffix
The suffixes are arranged as such: Elven word (possible female equivalent) = English word
