I'm trying to rename a house-elf character and having a little trouble so I'm going to crowdsource opinions! She's sensible, neat, dutiful, quiet, proud to serve her (awful) family, but somewhat skittish and nervous. She wears a little mophead as a dress if that helps lol.

Feel free to suggest even if you picked one! I wanted something ending in -er so that Kreacher isn't the only elf whose name doesn't end in -y. Her original name was Patter hence why most of these end in -tter.

Here are house-elf names I've already used, so I don't want anything too similar to an existing name but something that still follows conventions:

Mine: Crumbly, Tiskey, Taffy, Kreaky Original: Winky, Dobby, Kreacher, Hokey

#i really liked patter... but i felt it was too visually confusing with peter and potter #who are mentioned a lot in one of her scenes #and i considered 'tatter' but i already have two female house-elves with names beginning with t #since patter fits her so well in my mind i'm having a hard time renaming her #i'm kind of leaning towards pipper rn. it's still a p but not as confusing with peter and potter #though i have had a character named pippa before so maybe that's too similar?? argh #because when peter mentions 'pipper' sirius could assume he's saying 'pippa'#i pronounce them pretty much the same way #it's currently skitter but something seems off
