Adûnaic Name Generator - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 01-22-2004, 04:47 PM

We have added the Adûnaic language to the Name Generator. Have fun.

P.S. Read the disclaimer before complaining that it "isn't a real translation".

Durelin · 01-22-2004, 07:09 PM

*applauds*

Love it...having so many names to choose from is wonderful!! Unfortunately, you had some fun with the types of race or creature of Middle-Earth you could receive. I have been a Loathsome Warg for years now. Very unfortunate. But I like Abraeke, my Adûnaic name. Not to be picky, but...could this be translated somewhere on the site? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 01-22-2004, 09:48 PM

Very cool. But how did you find all the Adunaic roots, BW? That must have been a lot of work. Not like you don't always put a lot of work into the site. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gorwingel · 01-23-2004, 12:25 AM

I know this will make me look like an idiot... But what exactly is the Adûnaic language? To what race does it belong too?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-23-2004, 01:36 AM

Adûnaic is the tongue of the Protoss, the first race created by the Xel-naga...oops, wrong story! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Here it is:

Adûnaic The language of Númenor. It came from the original of the people of Hador, who never forgot their mother tongue despite learning the noble tongue(Sindarin). And from it came the Westron tongue, the comon tongue of Middle-earth.

Orominuialwen · 01-23-2004, 10:46 AM

Very cool, BW. I like my Adûnaic name, Nakâda. I typed in my friend's name, and came up with Gimilzôr! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 01-23-2004, 10:48 AM

Sharkû compiled the word roots used for the Adûnaic names, so the credit goes to him.

I'm glad to see that people are enjoying this latest addition to the Downs.

Finwe · 01-23-2004, 12:05 PM

Hmm... Nuzîritur, I rather like the sound of that. It sounds all Dark-Lord-ish. Very spiffy generator, BW! This site just keeps getting better and better!

Ainaserkewen · 01-23-2004, 12:06 PM

Wow, that's so interesting. My name is
Nîlûkhô, all the accents are confusing but it's fasinating. Thanks Sharku for the list and thanks BW for the add on. My friends (non-BDers) love the name generator. They're not total Tolkien lovers like me, but they love the names they can get out of the generator.

Lhunardawen · 01-24-2004, 03:20 AM

Ooh...Saphadtur, interesting name. I wonder what it means... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sorry, I was talking to myself.

I agree with Ainaserkewen...thanks, Sharku! If not for the name generator, I would not be here in the forum. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I nod my head to that as well! I was born (or rather, died) into this place because of the name generator. Thanks, Sharku! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thorongil · 02-11-2004, 01:58 AM

I got Zâirsîn. Whatever that is.

Btw, It says I'm a pockmarked Nazgul. Does anybody know what pockmarked is? I didn't find it in the dictionary.

Same here...

Banâthlak: Hmmm...reminds me a bit of Ben Afleck (sp?) whom I despise...but that's OK. I can always search under something else.

Zadnunaseke: This is another one I got from a variation of the order of my full name...

Ennarasâru: ...And this is another. I think this is my fave.

Oh, and thanks a ton to Sharku and the B-W!!! This is awesome!!!

Pockmarked means: 'marked by scars or marks caused by smallpox or acne'. Hehehe! You're a Nazgûl with acne!

I got Aglahadtrahanû. Nice and long. :

I think I'll stick to Fëa.

Thorongil · 03-08-2004, 12:07 AM

Thanks for helping

Now i'm a health hazard

ArwenBaggins · 03-08-2004, 03:16 PM

Haha

. You're welcome.

I tried another variation of my name and got Eáròhû. I like that too!

~Fëa

Thorongil · 03-09-2004, 04:18 AM

That seems a little more manageable. All these names are a bit funny aren't they?

Heaven Net · 07-09-2009, 07:30 AM

Type your full name in the box to discover your true Middle-earth names according to the Red Book of Westmarch.

In Middle-earth, The Generator was a Tired Stoor. His Elven Name is Perlanthirion. His Hobbit name is Samwise Muddyfoot from theMarish. His Dwarven name is Kili Copperfist. His Orkish name is Golmazh the Crippler and his Adûnaic name is Ezendizôrnas.

Nerwen · 07-11-2009, 08:53 AM

Welcome to the Downs, Heaven Net!

But tell me, why the anagram? Would not your actual name, Heaven ENT, have been more Tolkienesque?

By the way, may I suggest Ar-Spâmbôtôr as your Adûnaic name? It just seems so... I don't know... so you, somehow.

Bêthberry · 07-11-2009, 09:12 AM

A quick note--the link to the Name Generator in the first post is no longer working.

But this will work...

And you not only get the Adûnaic 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 Adûnaic 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"...

Estelyn Telcontar · 07-12-2009, 09:31 AM

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.

Estelyn Telcontar · 07-12-2009, 09:43 AM

Thanks for the working link, Nogrod. Perhaps some Admin or Mod could use that to correct the faulty link in the first post? It will be more easily found in the first post than in a lone subsequent post, I would think.

Estelyn Telcontar · 07-13-2009, 07:26 AM

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