Other than the obvious.

Eberron calls them Khoravar, which has lore reasons for why it can’t be imported over.

Elves call them A’Tel’Quessir ("almost people").

I don't know of a Realms name for half-elves.

In the Midgard setting (where elves are far less common), those folks with mixed human/elven blood (not necessarily half and half) are called elfmarked.

In the Yuirwood they are called Cha`Tel`Quessir.

I can’t imagine the half-elves love that, though it begs the question: is the racial identity in Aglarond (and presumably other half-elven centers) still one of being a mix, or is there a distinct “I am a half-elf and that is its own thing” belief out there somewhere?
