You may randomly generate an Drow name by rolling on Table 1. If you prefer, it is also possible to pick a set of definitions you like and assemble the name that matches them.
If your character is a Wizard who is fond of spiders, you might decide her name should reflect this. Looking at the definitions, you decide her name will mean “Spider-Mage.” This results in the name “G’eldriina" or “G'eldree”
If you don’t like a particular combination, try some of the alternate suffixes listed, or add an “a,” “e,” “i,” “l,” “r,” “s,” “sh,” or an apostrophe. Although not every combination of prefixes and suffixes will sound right, usually only a minor change is called for.
If you can’t make a particular name work, try one with a similar meaning. If you didn’t like “G’eldriina,” try a name that means “Spider-Sister” instead. If you have randomly generated a name and don’t like it’s definition, try altering the order of the words.
It is also possible to use the definition as just a starting place for the name’s meaning. Often the definitions can be combined in a poetic way for better results. In the case of a three or more syllable name, try dropping one or more of the definitions.

As there are a plethora of sites already offering drow dictionaries, and drow language generators, we will not perform an act of overkill and post yet another one. What we will offer, which I for one have not come across yet online (which does not mean it isn't out there), is an article that WoTC released dealing with the generation of drow names.
For those who do wish an actual full drow dictionary, and/or a quick CGI based generator, below are links to some of the more prevalent sites which offer such.
Keep in mind that we are associated in no way with these websites; all we do is offer up the info for our readers to gain easy access to further information, and offer some of the other sites out there a little free advertising. No copyright infringements or other such nonsense is intended.
