TRADITIONAL REGULAR SUFFIXES
I classify a traditional suffix as one that appears in the books and definitely serves a practical purpose, but doesn't have any possible negative connotations. It should (but it doesn't have to if you don't want to) keep the feeling of the original books. Also with traditional names, you typically only use one suffix per meaning, with the exception of average skills. I provide more than one suffix per meaning, since some people may prefer to use one over the other. And finally, if you don't like the meaning of a certain suffix, you don't have to use it.
