Having a LotR nickname? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Meela · 03-23-2005, 04:22 AM

I'm often referred to as Gollum, due to my gangly features and googly eyes. I used to walk a little faster than my friends, so I would constantly be turning around and yelling "Come on Hobbitses, long way to go yet!" Of course, my friends did actually resemble hobbitses, so we had a little post-TTT-cinema RP going on there.
The tall, blonde appearance and love of swords n' horses, earned me the name of Eowyn. Actually, I think that's the one that really stuck.
The only other names I get called are Elf, occasionally Galadriel (again tall and blonde, and that's as far as the resemblance goes). Sometimes I was called Strider, again because of my tendency to walk about three leagues ahead of everyone, trampling around the countryside in Ranger boots.

My (ex now) form tutor calls me both Hobbit and Gollum.

Hobbit is form my tendency to always sit on the floor so I look shorter than everyone else, and also for my appetite whoch is at least as large as a hobbits of not larger!

Gollum is because during the winter I get cold and so in lessons I sit really curled up on a chair and apparently this reminded him of Gollum.

Of course mainly I just get called obsessed as my friend and I find an LotR quote for any given situation. We mostly use "Fool of a took" and "Stupid, fat hobbit" to describe ourselves (or each other) when we realise just how badly we have messed up the latest piece of work!

At my old school, my friends and I formed a fellowship. I was chosen to be Frodo.

At my new school I'm called Lord of the Rings Girl. We have very few LotR fans here.

That is a misfortune indeed.

Hope you find some light at the end of the barrow...

People in school just refer to me as 'Art kid' 'Goth Art kid...' I don't mind, since it is true in a sense. I don't mind about a LOTR nickname reference, since there is a substancial number of people who do enjoy Tolkien at my school. I am, if you were to refer to a sub-culture context, a Victorian Goth. ( Just can't have enough of Mr. Aleister Crowley and Mr. Poe!)

I better stop before I go into rant...

I get called lots of names, most cannot be printed here, but then I am an Half-Orc.

Nirvana II · 03-31-2005, 05:37 PM

being tall and dark haired, I'm called Gorny.

My real name translates to Sindarin as Hiriel, a name I use as my screen name most places (I didn't know it yet when I created my account here, though), and many of my newer friends call me Hiriel most of the time

At school, I've had a sort of sorority who really thinks it weird that I've bought all Tolkien's books everytime our monthly allowance from the mayor arrives...

...and my best friend [whom I've managed to make her read parts of the Sil if not the whole book] called me Morfindel, though I barely liked it. Another sister who I watched the FOTR with called me Lorien later, for a reason I'm still thinking about till now...

Then my dad found out about my new names, he began calling me Gollum, because of my obsession with sashimi... duh. Sashimi really isn't fish who's raw and wriggling...

well i had Tilion as a nickname for awhile because of my love of Silver(i have silver ring, necklace and watch)

Thinlómien · 05-27-2005, 05:40 AM

My father and my little sister call me The finnish-Tolkien-finnish -dictionary ...

Larien Telemnar · 05-27-2005, 08:32 PM

A friend at Camp called me Frodo and I called her Sam because on a really tough hike up a hill (I'm borderline asthmatic, so I don't do hiking) she wouldn't leave me and wouldn't let me give up, even though I felt like lying down and dying.

Also, all my friends call me The Hobbit because I'm short. My friend Chandler (Nicknamed Chandish) made me his personal slave/servant, so I call him Mr. Chandish .
