witchroses said in a subsequent message: nevermind! i googled better this time and elfen is old english for elfin which is early modern english for elven so… carry on, ignore me.

Answer: Elf and Elfen were the submitted names.  Given the fantastical background, I don’t think the spelling is a big deal.  But just to conform with the dictionary, we’ll change it to Elfin.

Is that cool with everyone?  I don’t think we need to make a poll about this, right? 

Let us know in the comments if you have strong feelings one way or another.

FWIW, as I understand it, elfin is actually the proper adjective.  Tolkien chose to use elven for his own work and worldbuilding though, and this has become more common since then.  Language evolves!
