What is your favourite name - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ondolinde, Brandywine, Gildor Inglorion, Glorfindel, Alqualonde, Lalaith, and Laiquendi. I love just saying those things out loud. Maybe that's why people look at me so strangely...

I just love names that sort of "roll" off the tongue, and sound so ellegant. As someone already said, Osgiliath is really funny to say. Some of my others are...

Imrahil
Celeborn
Cirith Ungol
Minas Tirith
Iarwain-ben-adar
Ghan-Buri-Ghan, in fact all pukel-men talk lol, with the "woses," "pukel-men," and "gorgun" is just fun to say lol.
Ecthelion
Remmirath
Radbug (great name for an orc)
And most of the dwarf names are fun, oin, gloin, balin, fili, kili...etc

My all time favorite word would have to be....
Mount Taniquetil, just rolls off so beautifully.

My favourite name is the one I have, Thorongil. It just sounds kind of mighty. Like a great eagle soaring under the stars. I like it.

Boromir88 · 07-29-2004, 08:03 AM

I don't care much for the name "Aragorn," but it's his nicknames I like. Mentioned above, Thorongil is a good one, Elessar, Telcontar, Estel. Bill Ferny insulted him call him Stick-at-naught Strider, which is one of my favorite insult names lol.

Boromir88 · 07-29-2004, 11:05 AM

You'll have to bear with me I just thought of some more, there's just too many good names to say.

Wetwang, just hilarious name all together
dwimmerlaik
khazad-dum
kheled-zaram
galadhrim
Caras Galadhon
Hyarmendacil
Most of the numenorean kings names, Tar-Telperien, Tar-Minyatur..etc.
Eomer's swords Guthwine, and Theoden's sword Herugrim (far better names then Anduril)
Any of the orc names, Radbug, Lugdush, Ugluk, Grishnakh, Snaga.
Tharkun
Tarks

When I think of more I will get back to you lol.
