I like reading about other people's names! But mine is nowhere near that interesting. Evisse means ... absolutely nothing. *gasp* It's a completely made up name of a fictional character from a story one of my friends made up a while ago in response to a challenge. I liked the sound of it so I borrowed it. And the Blue part is a tribute to my dog who's called Blue. I decided to add a colour because the original Evisse from the story was a witch.
I've wanted so many times to change my name since then, having found smarter, prettier and more Tolkien - related names, but alas, it is not possible...

Oh, I've got a really thought out explanation for this! The , comes from the english word the, meaning the definite article used before singular or plural nouns and noun phrases that denote particular, specified persons of things. Perky, comes from the adjective meaning Having a buoyant or self-confident air. And finally, Ent, comes from the word Ent, meaning a large, life-like tree. When you connect them all, you get The Perky Ent: A self-confident large, life-like tree that is used before singualr or plural nouns!
************************************************** ************** Ok, seriously now. I chose The Perky Ent, as it is a good name. Not everything in life has meaning. I'm not actually an ent (though I don't admit it often), there is no heroic story of me traveling the seven seas in search of a perfect name. It just happened. Actually, my predicessor was The Hasty Ent, but, when introduced to the magic of sugar, The Perky Ent took over. And I wouldn't have it any other way

well you should all know what mine means...
'Ereinion' means 'descendant of kings'; 'gil-galad' is 'star of radiance'

Queen of Dark Sorcery, chosen during an extremely fangirlish mement when I first joined the LotR fandom.
I much prefer Morgul now, but you can call me Morgy if you want, or Agent Darkling if you want to get my attention for some reason or another. Oh, and Perky? Ent comes from the Anglo-saxon word meaning 'Giant'. *grins*

Morgul Queen could also mean Dead Queen...
