You could translate any ordinary name into Quenya or Sindarin. At http://www.elvish.org/elm/names.html there's a big list of names translated into Quenya.
Also, the Latin word for life is vita , not vida . However, the verb videre means to see . Last edited by Alcarillo; 07-08-2005 at 11:37 AM. |

Okay we just found out that we are having another girl! I guess I just keep handing out the X chromosome. Anyway the naming battle is on. Sadly, if it were a boy, we agreed, to some degree, on Beren. I'm still trying for Rian but I have my wife thinking about Miriel and Arien as she doesn't love Rian...yet!

Ah but mormegil - what greater blessing could a man have than to be like the Old Took and have Three remarkable daughters.
 ..exept to have enough bathrooms to ensure the minimum squabbling between the daughters...

Morm, looking back at your previous request, I noticed that we never got to hear the result - and now the quest continues! Will you divulge whether Daughter the Second found a ME name?

*sigh* Negative. I love her name, Sidney, as my middle name is Sid but it's not a M-e name. I will continue to try, however.

When thinking about names for my first daughter, I recalled Frodo's advice to Sam when his and Rosie's first child was born.
Frodo advised Sam to choose a flower name, in keeping with Hobbit tradition. I'm English, so following Frodo's advice I chose a traditional English name for my daughter. I named her Elizabeth. . |
