Not more f***ing Elves!
- Hugo Dyson
While thinking about this recent question asking who is an "Elf-Lord", I realized it would be simpler to say who among the Elves is not a Lord. Nearly every elf named by Tolkien in any of his works is a lord or noble of some sort. There are only a few instances where "common" elves appear. Some of these might be nobles anyway.
Daeron of Doriath, minstrel and inventor of the Cirth
Rúmil, a chronicler of Tirion upon Túna
Pengoloð, a chronicler in Beleriand in early drafts of the Silmarillion
Beleg the hunter of Doriath, slain by Túrin. (might be noble)
Lindo and Vairë, proprietors of the Cottage of Lost Play
Haldir, leader of the group that finds the Fellowship sans Gandalf in Lothlórien.
Of named "common" Elves, I think that's it. There are plenty of implied elves, such as the River-Elves and Círdan's mariners, but there are only a few others pointed out specifically:
- the steward and the prison guard in Thranduil's halls
- the guys under Haldir
- the Elves who taunt Bilbo and the dwarves as they enter Rivendell

Legolas is not a Lord, his father currently has the title. Similarly the sons of Elrond.

@Valorum Yeah, this wasn't the best thought-out question -- you hit No True Scotsman with every step.

@OrangeDog - being a member of a royal dynasty makes Legolas higher than a commoner, and probably the sons of Elrond too. In modern times the children of a monarch are called princes and princesses, in medieval times they were called lords and ladies.

@M.A.Golding the male children of a Lord are usually not called Lord until their father dies. Neither is Legolas ever referred to as a Lord.
