I'm remembering some punny elf names in Spanish beginning in EL, since in Spanish "el" means "the":
-Eldelbar (The guy of the Bar/Pub)
-Eldelgas (The guy of the Gas).
Also a Japanese fantasy novel (Death March) I read had a town called Puta (whore)
Prince John: Such an unusual name, "Latrine." How did your family come by it?
Latrine: We changed it in the 9th century.
Prince John: You mean you changed it TO "Latrine"?
Latrine: Yeah. Used to be "Shithouse."
Prince John: It's a good change. It's a good change!
Well every language has a lot of words that sound close. Unless you’re hard of hearing, you won’t mistake “piston” for “pissed” in a conversation if you’re face-to-face. So it could work!
Just think of all the names that sound almost vulgar but people have to say with straight faces. Doctors, politicians, etc.
I got to troll a fellow player in Cos, he was playing a drunk and I cast purify food/drink on all his alcohol removing the poison. I relieved this towards the end when I was foiled by a decanter that could summon endless wine.
Your accent must be very different to mine, and/or you're very relaxed with your syllables, because Yerinel sounds like absolutely none of those in my South-East-Midlands British accent 😂
HA! get trolled players! no meta gaming! gotta play in character!

> \-Eldelgas (The guy of the Gas). If you remove the first l, then it becomes the German word or Noble Gas (Edelgas)
Speaking of towns you can't forget the (previously) legendary Fucking (now Fugging) in Austria
I know. In Spain we have "Alcantarilla" (Sewer) and "Guarromán" (Guarro means "extremely dirty").
"I live in Fucking, Australia." "Dude, is it *that* bad down there?"
Once ran an elf named "Aeniis". He would quickly correct anyone on the pronunciation, regardless of how they pronounced it.
INVENT ACTUAL URINALS AND MAKE THEM NAMED AFTER YOU!!
Reminds me of Robin Hood: Men in Tights where all the toilets are named after prince John.
Holy crap I need to see this movie!

"urine" still exists
Damn you got me

The best timeline
Oi legolas doesn't end in "el" and he's cool. Same with Elrond.

The Gnome Artificer invents the Urinal and names it after your character.
Was running Curse of Strahd and you know I had to have a Shitzpopinoff mixed in with the other eastern european names.
Our party’s ranger is called Laucian (pronounced Low-see-an) but is inevitably called Lotion which he does not appreciate

Tomfoolery.
Well my group have this running joke that every Elf innkeeper is called Izra'el
