Sylvari NPC names are typically Gaelic or Welsh.
My sylvari mesmer’s name is:

Aneirin; meaning honorable/noble, and
Cadwall; a derivative of Cadwallen, which means ‘battle dissolver’

It was a convenient coincidence that sylvari names were chosen to be Gaelic/Welsh…

After the redesign, I had decided my primary character would be a sylvari whose personality was based upon the faded, distant memories of ‘his ancestor’:

A certain human mesmer who spent a lot of time appreciating the beauty and the purpose of Ventari’s Refuge…

Of course, the memory of his name was at least a little blurrier than that of his personality and his deeds… so it came out a little different from the dream of dreams.

As for rating the name above mine… the depth of detail to which I went in naming mine leads me to wonder how you named yours.

Preliminary rating of 6/10 in favor of your rating of the name above yours. lol

I’ll give it an 8.5/10. It’s interesting and makes for a good name, but I’m not much of a fan of surnames for Sylvari as they are just “one big family”… or at least from what I’ve read about online.

I am installing the game right now, but I already know my first character is going to be a Sylvari Necromancer by the name of Silthir. I use the name Silthir (or a variation of it) for every MMO/RPG that I play, but I feel it suits the Sylvari more than any of the other races. (:
