RE: A &quot;real&quot; generator would be great, but a lot of work. And many of our last names would be a nightmare to translate.

You are right on that, you would need to research each nameto find out what it's old enlgish or other archiac root meaning was.

For example My name is Eugene if you were to trace back to the archiac meaning of the root you get roughly Wellborn/noble. Taking that you would have to do a major amount of research to find the orcish, sindarian, quenyen(ok mb this wouldn't be so hard) tranlations. In short it would take years to put top gether such a program especially since most tolkien linguistic papers are not available anymore or were never released by CT <img src=frown.gif ALT="">

I know archiac meanings of my names(first and last) and so I'll gdo a little research and get back to you <img src=smile.gif ALT="">
