So, I am working on a fanfic, and on several occasions my character communicates with Spriggans. The details of how this works I shall leave out for now. I intend for several Spriggan characters to exist within the fan-fic, serving roles that help to progress the story along. As they are intelligent and possess the ability to talk in my story, I want to give some of them names.

But then, Spriggans are never given names in TES, are they? So I need to make some of my own.
My initial plan was to give them names similar to those of Ents from Tolkien's work; Tree-related names such as Quickbeam and Treebeard (only two Ent names I can remember on the spot). But even with that template to work with, I am still struggling for names. So my question is, Can you think of any names that would be fitting for these nature spirits?

I'd say say the ent names would work, you could try to find a ent name generator perhaps?

Thank you for the quick response, guys! I haven't properly started the fanfic yet, but that name generator will really be useful (I'm hoping).

I also recommend using Celtic-influenced name or words, like Samhain (pronounced say-win, if I remember correctly.) Works great for Nords or Bretons, too. Good luck on your fanfic!

Sprogg, Spig, Trent, Thatch.

Words to play with;

Branch, Twig, Trunk, Leaf, Spring, Ent.

Treeple : Tree people

Base names around characteristics, bold or strong? Trent or something.

Weirdly creative lol, just ideas...
