name generators are a hoax! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Actually, The Council of Elrond has a "Name Generator" where you type in your name, and they've translated each name, and translated it into Elvish if you want a "real" name of sorts. For example, Rachel means "ewe", so I'd be Tawlaes or Laeshaw. Going by my middle name, I would be Eruant, Eruanneth, Eruanniel, Eruannien, Eruannwen Lûth Lûthiel, Lûthien, or Lûthwen.

However, the Barrow-Downs Name Generator is still my favorite, as the names all have really great meanings (not always nice, but great). Also, if you need a name for an RPG or something, I recommend the Barrow-Downs one, as you can type in random names and find Elvish names, whereas they don't have every name on the Council of Elrond yet.
