I've literally spent all of my free time today trying to come up with names, mostly Sindarin names, and while going through canonical names I was (once again) struck by how there's not a single name of any random elf associated with the Feanorians.
Random elves pop up here and there in the various versions of the legendarium, there are names for relatives of Thingol, all the houses of Gondolin, assorted elves attached to Finrod & Nargothrond, there are even discarded names for Fingon's children!
Then you look at East Beleriand and there's nothing. A completely barren wasteland. Almost makes you think the Sons did everything by themselves! It's almost like they're there just to be antagonists.
