Oromë is not an elf. He is a Vala.

The first six elves to awake, according to War of the Jewels, are Imin and Iminye, Tata and Tatie, Enel and Enelye...the masculine/feminine forms of one, two, and three.

Elwë Singollo isn't an ancient name for Elu Thingol. It's the Sindarin form.

Elwë, Olwë, and Elmo are held as candidates for being among the first to awake, but the problem with that is they are brothers. Brothers require parents. There were relation among the Valar...the relation created in Eru's mind...but these aren't primordial beings, so who knows if the same may apply?

Eol left Doriath because he didn't care for the Girdle of Melian. The Girdle of Melian appeared prior to the First Age, which means his birth at least predates that.
