You do have the (pricey) option of forcing a name change through a server transfer, so that's a possibility to get lore compliant name.
Unfortunately, there's no race where that name fits the naming conventions, but you can view that as an opportunity instead of a weakness. Let's say your character remains a lalafell -- think about, from a story standpoint, how he would've gotten that name. Was he raised by hyur in a small village who named him after one of their ancient ancestors? The name sounds a little elezen, so perhaps he was named by an kindly, elderly elezen who, when he passed away, left your character alone in the world? Is he from a far east society, now conquered by Garlemald, that used names like that? Did he get his surname when he registered as a refugee after the Calamity and a clerk, instead of recording his actual, complicated surname, just put down "Lalafell?" You can build an entire backstory off your character's name and use it as a hook in RP -- which will be helpful, as some characters are bound to raise the issue when they talk to you ("Reuprulian? That's a curious name. Where'd it come from?").
