What does your screenname mean? - Page 3 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Belegorn · 08-06-2013, 02:53 AM

Belegorn is the 4th Steward of Gondor. I forgot why I chose it, but it means Mighty Tree in Sindarin.

Eönwë is just the name if one of the Maiar (the one who led the armies againt Morgoth, and beat him!) so it's not that original.

Ibrîniðilpathânezel · 05-28-2008, 06:36 AM

It's the Valarin name for Telperion, the silver half of the Two Trees. I guess I just got tired of using handles that had nothing to do with the subject of the forum, and as I always seem to join them way too late to lay claim to any of the names that usually resonate with me, I figured this was one nobody else would have already taken.

ninja91 · 05-30-2006, 08:27 AM

"Ninja91". The Ninja part is there because I like ninjas. I'm a big fan of the Naruto manga. not the show.
91? That is the number of Sergei Fedorov, who used to be my favorite hockey player, up until the Detroit Red Wings traded him and he sucked afterwards.
ninja91 just sounds cool to me.
the coolest screename I have seen in the Barrowdowns is "Rhod the Red"
sounds cool

Wayseer - Seer of the Way - what better name for a Ranger.

Eonwe · 10-13-2006, 07:50 AM

Whaaa! Double take!

Welcome to the forum, Seer! I'm sure your name will have drastic remification, if you ever take up the Barrowdowns opiate!

10-13-2006, 12:29 PM

I am the alpha leader of orc squadron regiment C.
I take my job very seriously, and if you challenge me, I will lop off your head.

ArathorofBarahir · 12-24-2006, 11:14 AM

Arathorn was the name of Aragorns father and since I wanted to create something a little more unique, I chopped the n at the end off. Barahir was the father of Beren and of course his ring was an heirloom to the throne of Gondor and I guess I wanted to make myself of his house so to speak.

Amras Oronar · 01-01-2007, 03:47 PM

I got my name from this site: http://www.chriswetherell.com/elf/
You fill in you're name and it give you yer "Elf Name" it can also do it with a Hobbit name (my hobbit name according to that site is Berilac Chubb-Baggins)

I don't have a clue how this site works, I have found a FAQ saying that it didn't include ALL rules for elf names, for instance, a Elf doesn't have 2 names

Boromir_bg · 01-01-2007, 03:47 PM

Boromir = Boromir
bg = Bulgaria

I'd rather use "kelebsil",but I wanted to bring some memories with my old nickname in the barrowdowns chat.

Liriodendron · 01-01-2007, 09:12 PM

Hmmm....I have no memory of this thread....

My name is the scientific name of the Tulip Tree (state tree of Indiana)....whose very tall, straight trunk, symetrical branching style, beautiful leaves and silvery smooth bark has always reminded me of a poor man's mallorn.

Melkor - True King of Arda

Texadan · 01-28-2007, 10:55 AM

I thought I was being clever. I just did a Google search on "Texadan" and found someone else using it in other forums.

Morgoth's Apprentice · 05-18-2008, 11:31 PM

My nickname, Morgoth's Apprentice, means almost what it says. I am Morgoth's apprentice, and I am here to take over the world!!!!!!!! Iactually chose it as my screen name because that's what all of my friends call me, the LOTR obsessed ones anyways.

MatthewM · 05-19-2008, 09:26 AM

Mine is really not too original. My first name is Matthew, and my last name starts with M. Hence, MatthewM.

Riewë · 05-24-2008, 12:00 PM

What does my name mean?
Well just look at my sig.
All my names have the same meaning.

Wyrðhelm is in Rohirric, Ríeth is in Sindarin, and Riewë is in Quenya.
It's either "Crown, Victorious" or sometimes "Crown of Victories."

fenris1011 · 01-04-2009, 04:24 AM

Fenris or "Fenrir" is Loki's son, a massive wolf, in Norse Mythology.

1011 is my birthday October 11th

Lindale · 01-04-2009, 08:54 AM

I just found out. Lindale is a city in Texas. When I entered the BD I never thought long about my username, and the first thing that popped into my mind--Ainulindale--was where I based my name on. It remains one of the most interesting pieces I've ever read.

Only, back then I wasn't sure how to spell Ainulindale, and I thought it was too long. When I collected my wits I wanted to shift the name to Diwata, the Philippine counterpart of "elf", or something else closer to home or would make more sense, but too late. Oh well. What's in a name anyway.

TheOrcWithNoName · 05-17-2009, 12:28 PM

<------ My handle has no special, mystical meaning at all - totally mundane & boring in fact.

I think it came about after watching an old Clint Eastwood film playing a character called "A Man With No Name"; and then reading the cast-credits on the end of The Two Towers film and seeing a character called "Orc - uncredited"

Then my brain started to work (yikes, how frightening is that!) and I put the two together and I offer the world "TheOrcWithNoName".

So much for a higher-education!

MCRmyGirl4eva · 09-11-2012, 02:55 PM

MCRmyGirl4eva

MCR is the band My Chemical Romance. After their third CD, The Black Parade, came out, the british newspaper The Daily Mail accused them of being a suicide cult because a girl killed herself. They are opposed to suicide and self-harm, and replied with "Wr're not a cult, we're an army... the MCRmy!" Thus, MCRmy.

The part girl is self-explanitory, and 4eva means forever.

My sis wouldn't let me use MCRmyGirl4eva for her website, (which, btw, I'm never on) so I used Thranduilion, even though it implies that I'm male. Don't care, though.

Oh! I thought it was my as in first person possessive, which is why your name did not make any sense to me before. It sounds cool this way, when I read it properly.

Exactly. I was even like "MC... whatever 'MC' is... so MC are my girl? Forever? What in the world is that supposed to mean?"

Aerandir · 09-23-2012, 03:23 PM

My name means Sea Wanderer. I chose Aerandir because he's the most obscure and unknown character ever.

Elyna of Rivendell · 08-06-2013, 02:30 AM

Well...

Elyna is my actual name and i am firmly convinced i come from Rivendell

Probably very obvious...Ah well...
