Well, it so happens that a while ago I started (finally) a secondary character of mine, who is a Dwarven runekeeper-historian. Quite like him. I have left him last time around Gondamon, he is barely something below level 15 or somesuch.

Thinking of getting him a properly Dwarvish-sounding name and inspired by all the names like Gimli, Fíli or Frár, I called him Gimifril (let him that readeth understand).

As for the kinship naming suggestions, specifically those Gwathagor proposed, I think all the "knights" stuff is a bit too, hmm, high and mighty sounding (and everyone has such names anyway), but the Tyrn Gorthad stuff is a nice idea (no idea how long a kinship name can be, just hope the two words don't take all the space). So either I would make it "something of Tyrn Gorthad" (hmm, not sure if "Something of Tyrn Gorthad would be a representative name, though) or then if Knights, then Knights in Wight Satin as mentioned before. That actually would be really nice, on top of "forum" reasons I think it sounds quite good, too. But of course, we can still think of something else (though personally I can't seem to think of anything, unless we want to go with something like 'Ham-on-Skull').
