LOTR nicknames
We all know that characters tend to get their own nicknames. So I thought it was time to share nicknames of characters actors and places. Ones that we have heard like Leggy for Legolas or ones we made up ourselves like mine for Hugo Weaving, American Lost in Middle earth.
Don't mean to bash america but he just looks so American or maybe it is the "Mr. Andersen" thing Anyway what about you? What nicknames have you heard |

lol... The Elf who is secretly a part time agent.. My friends made up abbr. Australianised (said in australian accent) names for the whole fellowship one day We call legolas "Legsie", Aragorn, "Azza" Gimli "Gimms" Sam "Gamms" Arwen "Arrey" Éomer " 'Omes" Éowyn "Winney" Frodo "Baggsie" ... This clearly shows that we have too much time on our hands. |
Can mean ones be counted?
Cos if so then Eowyndy - cos she mainly seems to just stand in the wind. |
ElenCala Isil and I call Dom and Billy Uncle God and Uncle Satan (we like them both! Really! It's just a matter of Billy having red eyes...), and Aragorn is now Argon, Noble Gas and King of Gondor. We're still working out how a gas can be crowned, though...
|
I still think Hugo Weaving looks lost or out of place.
Once I heard him being called Mr. Eyebrows. I like the australian take on nicknames. :D |
Well i don't particularly have nicknames for the characters, but i do have way of referring to them so everyone will know who they are (ie stupid people;) ) and also nicknames for some of the cast.
So, the way i refer to them infront of the uninformed: Frodo, the one with the Ring Sam, the one with him Aragorn, the one who is King Gandalf, the one with the big hat Gimli, the one with the axe Legolas, the one who shoots things Merry and Pippin, the other hobbits Boromir, the one with the shield who got shot Arwen, the one that looks like a horse in the movie Sauron, the baddie And then the actor's nicknames: Beanie (Sean Bean) Kelley (Sir Ian McKellen) ChrisLee (soon to be Sir Christopher Lee) VIggo or The Vig (pronunciation on the first half) HUGO (in a loud forceful voice) and The Fantastic Orlando (if you've seen Ned Kelly you'll know why) |

Legolas: The pretty one. |
some i made up, others i've seen on fanfic sites, eg. fanfiction.net
Aragorn son of Arathorn=acorn son of a thorn Boromir=the-dude-who-just-won't-die (in reference to his death speech in the movie) Gandalf=gandy Glorfindel=glorfy Elrond= freaky-eyebrow-dude or rondie Galadriel=gally or freaky-radioactive-she-elf |
Quote:
Granted..we also just call them Uncle.. and of course, everyone is William...except Sblomie. And I know quite a few people already know who Sblomie is, and how he got that name, and why he isn't William. Okay, I'll just stop now. Heh. :D |
Nicknames
Me and my friends have a couple:
Sam: Teddy-bear Elrond: Freaky-eyebrows-dude (I see this one is quite popular!;) ) Gimli: Da Beard from da Block (In your best ghetto voice!:p ) Legolas: Dumb Blonde (No offence to any of the blondes out there; I myself am a dishwater blonde, (I hate that! Someday I'm gonna make up a new name for dishwater-blondes. It's just not fair!) so please don't take offense!) Arggghhh!!!!! Alll of a sudden my mind just went blank! :mad: Oh well...I'll be back! (Said in best Arnold S. voice. ( I'm not even going to attempt last name!) See ya later alligator!! |
Elrond/Hugo Weaving: Vulcan
|
My friend Adam came up with this one for Gimli: Gim-gim. (doesn't that sound cute!)
How about Frodo's ghetto name: Fro-fro Bag-bag. I prefer to call Legolas Lego (because I like the toy and cringe at all the nicknames that have something to do with legs). And lastly: Arwen: She-who-must-not-be-named. |

I like Da Beard From Da Block. Usually with my LOTR-savvy friends he is referred to as *sharp voice* GIMLI! like how Gandalf says it as he runs towards the Chamber of Mazarbul:D |
These are just a few weird ones that my friends and I use... mostly because they're easier to say...
Frodo - Frodley Gandalf - Gandy-alf Legolas - Leggo Peregrin - Pips, or Pippo the Hippo Viggo - Veggo (it's a long story...) Arwen - Arvin Gimli - Highmli (don't ask me why!) Isildur - Izzy I think that's about it. One of my friends calls Samwise 'Samuel,' but that's just to get on her sister's nerves... |
Lol those are funny! With my non-lotr friends, Aragorn is "Greaseball", Boromir is "Meany", Arwen is 'Greaseball's hot girlfriend", and Legolas is "omg omg omg... *swoons*"....
|
Oooh... my friends and I have some nice (and not so nice) nicknames for some of the characters.
Bori, Borrums (do the Wave), DK (disco king, of course), and "Bad A$$ Balrog Stopper" all for Boromir Leggy, "The Elf with no Sense of Direction" for Legolas "What the h311 is his name?" and "Where... is... Gan...dalf?" for Celeborn Gandy for our Resident White Wizard The Mer-Man for Eomer The Witch King for Bombadil I could remember more... but I've got to get some sleep. Very good about "she who must not be named" Fea |
:D I knew there would be a lot of funny ones out there.
Sometimes my brother calls Frodo (the movie one) Rolly-eyes because he always rolls his eyes back. Or at least he always did that in FOTR and TTT. |
My sympathies for all the esteemed characters of ME.
"Leggy! My darling Legsy! Save me Lego!" I've never thought of nicknames the same way after reading Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth by Miss Camilla Sandman at www.misssandman.com. Cheers, ~ Elentari II |
Ey Bekah, thanks for that link! I like it.
Well, I don't have many nicknames, but here they are anyway: Eowyn - Wynnie, to annoy my best friend (she can't stand it) Legolas - Leggie, just because Gandalf - Gaffy, because it's easier to use during a discussion Sam - Sammie And that's about it. For book use. Don't get me started on the movies. Oh, and I loved the 'She-who-must-not-be-named' thing! Navaer! Aethelwine. P.S. First time posting using the 'new' forum... Whoa! |
NO! NO! Boromir is neither Beanie nor Borrums! Blasphemers!
On a happier note, has anyone read the Secret Diaries? Merry is still, for me and all my friends, the 'Incredibly Sexy but Still Indistinguishable Backup Hobbit'. My dad thinks Aragorn is 'Calgon', and Boromir is Saint Sebastian. |
My brother and sister call Sean Bean 'Seen the bean'.
I call Orlando Bloom, from his nickname Orli 'Orliphant' I'm always bugging my sister by going 'Ai! Ai! An Orliphant has come!!! Eru save us!!!!' And then there's 'Ian McKillinthebalrog' Or 'Elijah Wouldnthavethering' And, of course 'Miranda Ottakilltheringwraith' Hows that? -Eowyn Skywalker |

I've heard (or used) these:
Elrond: Agent Smith (but I call him Spock) Boromir: Boron Aragorn: Argon, that king dude (don't hate me for this one, but one of my friends calls him "balding butt-hole chin") Denethor: Pyro Gandalf: Gandy Sam: Spam ("Bored of the Rings" is an awesome book!) Eowyn: Eow-not again! Arwen: Barbie (vacant expression, blue eyes, wait; she must be a Weasley!):p |

Peace, Vuelve |
My brother, friend, and I have some nicknames for the characters of out The Other Movies. You know the ones I mean... the... dare I say it? Cartoons.
Sam: "Dear God, what is that thing?" Gollum: "Amphibigollum" Elrond: "Sparkly" The list goes ever on and on... Fea |
Oh yes, there's always the one for Aragorn [dubbed by the TV Guide this month] of "The Best Cleft Chin Since Cary Grant".
Eomer: The Aardvark (not mine) Frodo after stung by Shelob: Michael Jackson Shelob: Aragog (sorry!) Borrums: Target Practice Man Denethor: Frog-Face (also not mine) |

Hm. Can't say as I've ever thought of any nicks for characters or actors, for the most part, though I do referr to 'Lijah as either "Li'l Mr. Wood" or "Little one. " Not reffering so much to his height, as I believe he's got a couple of inches on me in that respect, but,seeing as how I'm 10 years his senior and, sadly, probably wiegh at least twice as much as he does...:rolleyes: (the kid looks like he could blow away in a strong wind, honestly.....) :rolleyes: Another name that I've heard for him that didn't come from me was "Wunderkind".... |
Yay! Nicknames!
Nicknames at my house:
Boromir= Boro-buddie or "The Favorite". Also known as "The Human Pincushion" Gimli= Gim-Gim Sam= Sammo Frodo= Stupid. (Sorry FrodoFans, it's just that every time someone tells Frodo not to do something [don't look at the light! Don't put on the ring!] he goes and does it! My instant reply is "What did he just tell you, Stupid?!?!" I guess the name just stuck.) Elrond= Agent Elrond Haldir= Guy We Don't Care About. (My sister made that one up when she asked who the dying elf was and why we cared about him.):rolleyes: Gandalf= Gandy or Gan-Gan. (Yes, we like repetative two syllable names here in the land of Maeggaladiel) Legolas= Leggo. Very uncreative, I know. Faramir= Fara-buddie or Far-Far Denethor= Flamethrower Man, Human Torch, or Psycho Daddie. Eowyn= Glom. (Because she GLOMS on to any man who isn't from her own kingdom.) :biggrin: Galadriel= Scary Elf Lady Celeborn= Other elf we don't care about. Also called "The Amazing One-Liner" That's about it. I have a strange lotr humor. Spring break is upon us! :cool: Maeggaladiel! Real women slay witch kings! |

Legolas/Orlando: Legorlandaso
Celeborn: Elf of little words Viggo: Vigg O'Mortensen |
Gah! Tolkien must have had a lot of posthumous excercise by now after all the times he's rolled over in his grave. But I always call Hugo Weaving Agent Elrond. I can't watch the Matrix without quoting LotR.
"Gah. Stupid Hobbits, stupid mortals trying to marry my daughter. I should have taken the blue pill." I cannot bring myself to call Liv Tyler Arwen, so I refer to the supposed "elf princess" as the Spawn of Arrowsmith. |
My brother and I first watched the fellowship with some of his friends a little after it came out on dvd. I had read all the books and knew what was going on but my brothers friend had only read the Hobbit. He asked who the knife throwing dude was and I told Him Legolas. "Lost-a-Leg!!!???" And ever since then he's called him "Lost-a-leg". Heres my list of names
Legolas- Lost-a-leg Frodo- Fruity (my brothers friend also came up with this one) Pippin- Pip ('cause that just sounds so cute) Saruman- guy with perfect nails Gollum- Frog dude (also my brothers friend) |
Jeez
*listens to the whirring of Tolkien in his grave* :eek: The few I use generally sound normal. Celebri for Celebrimbor...and occasionally for my darling Mini, Celebrimbror. Oh...and we call Movie!Legolas Captain Obvious....and Daeron is commonly called MINE!!!!!!....as is Feanor...and then there is Gimli, also referred to as *narrows eyes* Don't dis the Dwarf!...and...ah...*shuffles feet* Guess you'd better forget my first sentance then, huh? :rolleyes:
