I am making an Elf character to play in The Lord of the Rings Online with my brother. I'll be playing in the RP server, so I want to be as lore-based as possible, which means having a Sindarin name. Unfortunately for me, I am no master of Sindarin. If someone who knows what they're doing can check my conjugation, I would be most thankful.

For background, I'm thinking he'd be a First Age Elf born in Gondolin in the years before the Dagor Bragollach to a Noldorin mother and Falathrim father.

His father-name would be "He Who Sleeps in Peace," or Lorith, from Sindarin "Lor" (to sleep) and "îdh" (peace).

For his mother-name, I was thinking of "Day-Seeker," or Cestar from Quenya "cesta" (to seek) and "árë" (warm sunlight).

But I think he'd go by the Sindarin translation: Calafar, from "calan" (daylight) and "faroth" (hunter).
