Re: What is the reason for your nickname ?

merry linger is a hobbitised version of my email and band name maralinga. maralinga is an aboriginal name of a place in the south australian desert where the british tested nuclear weapons above ground (mushroom clouds and all) during the 1950's.

He planted himself squarely in front of Faramir, his hands on his hips, and a look on his face as if he was addressing a young hobbit who had offered him what he called 'sauce' when questioned about visits to the orchard.</p>

Re: What is the reason for your nickname ?

I needed good Elven name, and I found that name-generator. So I tried it, and Astroduriel sounded good to me. So I toke it. Simply.

Re: What is the reason for your nickname ?

It is hard to find a good name that hasn't been used before, isn't it! It sure is fun trying though. My email name for yahoo is quite original...
sludgemuffin@yahoo. my next choice was going to be fuzznugget! Hows that for strange originalism?

Angel comes from 2 places....
Angels in Heaven and my favorite They Might Be Giants song...She's an Angel.

Re: What is the reason for your nickname ?

I know it's not very Tolkienish...but I have this name on 7 other ezboards...and I didn't want to make up a new one for here. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

But the last time I tried to make up all sorts of different names for different places...I forgot which names went to which boards...it was just confusing. So I like to stick to one name for everything. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

-AngelAmidala

Re: What is the reason for your nickname ?

Good plan. I have no problem with it.

"I will, Lord." said Tuor.</p>

My nic isnt very tolkienish either, but its a God's Avatars name in another fantasy world. I fell in love with the charactor and it seems to fit me somehow. Plus I knew nobody else would pic it!

Actually, this one is to Durelen. I was reading this one from the start, before I realized it was so old.

I am no expert in Quenya, but with a little help from the Quenya dictionary (made by the Grey Company, and downloadable at Tel'Mithrim - Language Resources
I translated 'Durelen' as 'Believer of Stars' or 'Faith in Stars'. Possibly also 'Believe what You See', or 'Seeing is Believing'. Something like that.

BTW, my nickname is from the elven name generator here at the downs. It doesn't have any coherent meaning, as far as I know.

Oooh. An interesting thread-revived apparently.
The origins of "Lush" are both sordid and silly, so let me just say that I have been using it as a pen-name for a few years (my writing style is lush-in the different sense of the word), and thought it would be appropriate here. For the record, my name does not neccessarily imply that I am a heavy drinker-but since I am a Russian, I inspire more vodka jokes than I would like to admit (the drink of choice in Russia is actually beer-and excellent beer it is, for those of your who are tourists). [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

My name is for Samwise, who's my "favorite little Hobbit", too.
Also, as I explained in another post, the friend who turned me on to the Trilogy and I used to "play" roles in school--she was Merry, and I was SAM. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Tis Weiss-Hickmanish! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I got mine by combining parts of 2 names from the books.

Eowyn is more like me than either Arwen or Galadriel...other than her blonde hair, of course-that's why I chose this name
oh and Ithilien instead of Rohan because in Rohan she was unhappy

Sindalómiel is my name (Erin), according to this site's Elf name generator. I know technically you're supposed to use your full name, but Sindalómiel was prettier so I chose that.

I put my name into the elven name generator and this is what I got. I thought it was a most beautiful name so I chose it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I just put my name in the generator and got this.. it's fun.. I got a whole bunch of others as well, trying with all my middlenames, and such, but Gayahithwen is just my first and my last name(?).. So I usually uses it as my elven name.. Otherwise, when not being on any Tolkien related page, my screen name is claro, because it's a wordplay with my name, and yes, I know a little bit of spanish ^_~

I have long been a Dwarf advocate. Mostly because I identify with the species as a whole. So "Dwarin" is fairly original I thought it up myself. "Thunderhammer" came partly from the generators.

Its a short verion of my Elvish name(*Nevfânwen*), who are my favorite characters especially Legolas. I love it and alot of people call me that...so naturally I chose it.

well when i first read the books i hardly new anythin about the world... but lindolir sounded elvish to me (even tho i now know its not) so i chose it but i couldn;t find the password to lindolir so i changed it to Lindolirian i still go by Lindolir in the chat room

Evening! So I just joined... thought this might be an appropriate place to start *grins*

Well, for my name... I've spent the past few days playing with the name generators *ahem* and many differing versions of my name, and Telgaladiel was my favorite, and since my favorite characters/culture/race are the Elves... why not?

hm, I tend to inadvertantly cause trouble wherever I go, but in general I'm a loyal and friendly person. Also if anyone seems to have noticed I show a few girly tendancies, the reason is I AM a girl! :roll heh, fooled you!

so, that's THAT [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I was after an original name so I used this sites name generator.
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hello, Dagelur!
Welcome!

Wow! I'm noticing lots of new folks on the board! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Welcome, everybody, then! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

<center><font color="red">I also am new...

I was thinking of being Eldawen, an elven name I made for myself meaning "Star Maiden"...

But instead i decided to be a Nazgul since they're cool and i have a good sig for the name... and as the only female Nazgul I know I am the Nazgul Queen! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

[ January 11, 2002: Message edited by: Nazgûl Queen ]

I chose Rose Cotton because I love Samwise like she did. I also thought noone else would think of useing this name. Apparently I was wrong. Member #148 has the same name. Exept I checked the book and I spelled Rose correctly!SO HA! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Anyway I think Sam is so cooooooooooooooooool! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Goodness, a lot of new folks have posted since I was here last! Welcome, everyone, as I fear there are too many names for my feeble little Hobbit brain to remember (I still wonder how I could keep track of the names of my 13 kids....) [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Goodness, Miss Rosie! If I really were Sam Gamgee, I know I'd either be blushing or would have fainted after that!
(Sam's a dear, isn't he?)
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I've noticed that there are a lot of versions of "myself" here, too. But I am the ONLY Samwise. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

mine's is just the (basic/root) Elven translation of my name


mind you, my name is unsual enough to use anyway!...have had people say to me 'is *that* your real name?'

I sign my paintings and the like with a snowflake.........

(Ironically, I hate snow.)

13 kids? Now that's what I call productive (in a good way)!

Yes indeed (looking at the family tree right now), I like Samwise Gamgee, but I would never marry him.

i've always been fascinated by the moon and silver is my fav color.
My nickname means silver moon in elvish.
