[Snort] Vëon... 'Manly Man'? Oh, very good. The primary problem with this name is that it's very good Quenya - but most elves outside Valinor would have a Sindarin name.

Q. Vëa doesn't seem to have an attested S. form, but by analogy with Q. Valar > S. Balan, I'd say it's likely to be S. Bea. So you could have Beon (the umlauts on the 'e' aren't used in Sindarin writing). This is supported by the fact that Q. Ve, 'as, like' > S. Be. I can't find anything else that would clash with it, so Beon would work - both (probably) by meaning, and as the closest Sindarin phonology will allow to Veon (and as a bonus, with a definite article he would become i Veon, 'the Beon' - this also works for many prepositions, so 'with Beon' would be na Veon).

hS, knows too much
