And you not only get the Adűnaic name but also others - tested Barrow-Downs quality page! Here's what I got when writing my Finnish name as it is... Now according to the Red Book of Westmarch I am a Respected Half-elf by name of Teleplambe or Teleplambeion. Would I be a hobbit, I would be Ferumbras Headstrong from The Far Downs. As dwarf I would be Náin Poolwater, as an orc Ghazwúrz the Meek... ![]() And last but not least, in Adűnaic I would be Hikalkhazîr Maybe I should try making my last name in English as it actually means something - the first name sadly doesn't and is thus outside the scope of any reasonable "tranlations"...

Nogrod, there is no actual translation involved - the Downs name generator functions on a random principle. Sorry - I know some people would like their name with the same meaning in Elvish, and there is a website that has done something like that. I'll try to find it.

Here's an earlier post by Gordis with lots of name-related links:
Names, names, names

Yes, thanks for the correct link, Nogrod; I edited the first post in this thread to correct it. It's now working.
