But we need to come up with good names from the book for our generic-non-major-character elves.

Anyone got good suggestions?

How fun! - Non-major elves is a Jen Question if I ever heard one!

Jen, see Scott's 33515...

You could always go as Figwit

I'm back from a long day of costume gathering -- we've got everything we need from doublets, gowns (even got an old silver acetate graduation gown -- at Goodwill, of all places -- to go under my medieval doublet), wigs, ears, great old authentic Spanish sword that looks like it could be enchanted, and elfish shoes for my wife that she's going to paint metallic gold. Along with some black Patagonia ski underwear that I already have, I think we're almost set. All I need to do is find some elvish black shoes (cheap).

Thank you all for your suggestions...tonight I'll be trying them all out and see what I come up with.

My wife (Melanie) is going to be very Galadriel-like (long blond braided wig -- old hippie style -- and we found a great all-white Juliet gown with cape and gold braid belt. Absolutely perfect for Galadriel. But we'll come up with another name -- I'm sure there'll be a half-dozen Galadriel's there. I could be Celeborn -- I have a long platinum blond straight hair wig (woman's!) that sort of looks like Celeborn's hair in the movie.

Now I'm going to try all of your suggestions. I'll be back later to tell you what we decide on.
