Those suffixes can be used to form male names, but to every male name uses one of those suffixes.
Just look at the names of the kings of Gondor and Numenor, many of which have no special masculine suffix.
The masculine suffixes are often added to simple names such as Finwe or Curumo. Compound names such as Elessar “Elf-stone” rarely use these suffixes.
