Welcome, Agent Elrond! Hope your stay is long and pleasant.

No, I don't really like it because it's an adjective I've definitely never identified with (except maybe as a premature baby born almost two months too early, but I guess I didn't identify with any word back then )... Besides, if one thinks of the mere sounds of words "thin" and "lommy", the latter sounds much more like how I am. Okay, now I'm getting carried away and semi-philosophical... But anyway, I don't mind being called Thin (as long as it's not the common way of addressing me) as it's very nostalgic.

I agree that's it bad: it sounds similar to the way people talk about b-level Swedish studies here...

As for Maedhros... I can really only think of "Meady"... or "Maedy" (or maybe even "Mayday"? )... or Maedhry or Maedhri (latter one looks better in my opinion, but it might look more alien to you English-speakers)...

Maedhri
Ooh, I like this one. Though for eases sake I would probably go with Maedy.

Ah! And welcome Agent Elrond. Nice to see so many new faces.

No no, Maedhri is good! I like it! Sounds cool to be honest!

TheGreatElvenWarrior has been trapped in the Barrow!
She's Back!!!
I have been somewhat neglecting the Barrow-Downs for the past two months because of musicals and Facebook and vacations and my computer at home not working, so I thought that it might be a good thing if I introduced myself once more into the wonderfully dead land of the Barrow Wights...

Here I am!

Lol, any of the ones suggested are fine by me but Maedhri is my personal favourite at the moment! Does that rule it out of the running?

Don't know if I've been here long enough to get away with this, but, welcome TeleriFan!

Welcome back, TGEW! I thought that we had lost you for good in the land of the living, but I'm glad that you have returned to the land of the dead!

Welcome, TeleriFan. I say there certainly are a bunch of you new people arriving.

Oh no, you haven't lost me... I have just recently acquired myself a Facebook and that has kept me busy and plus my computer is acting funny, but I am at my grandparents house right now and I have a computer all to myself because of their excess of computers... also I discovered the Chronicles of Narnia again...

But thanks for the welcome!
