How many elves have "
Name son/daughter of
Name"? They go by "
Name of
Place or by attach a title to their name.
Men and Dwarves require this because they are mortal, they die eventually. Elves live forever, so there's not much of a chance that there will be fifty thousand other elves that share their name.
