which makes my Quenya name Laitaine

I'll have to remember this. There are a lot of women named Laura in my life, therefore its pretty applicable to me. Laura, Laurie, Lori, Laura, Laura, Lauren... Kinda scary. And confusing. Very confusing when you get three Lauras in the same house.

This is the point when I curse my career choice and lack of naming abilities.

Meela is just an ordinary name. I can't find a meaning for it. I joined when I was studying egyptology and chose the name in homage to my mentor.

My other name is Alesse, and *searching*.... turns out to be the name of a birth control pill... okay, moving on... *checks elvishness* apparently 'esse' means name. So Alesse could be warped to mean 'a name'. Nice and simple, huh?

My name means "Keeper of Dol Goldur".

I keep Dol Goldur nice, I am it's keeper. Unfortunately waaaaaaay back when I stumbled across the Barrow Downs and the Wights beckoned me in, I mispelled Guldur as Goldur.

What does Dol Guldur mean? It means ... Hill of Black Magic. Guldur means Black Magic, Dol means Hill. Easy enough? Actually, Dol means "head" but it's used figuratively to describe high places, such as Dol Guldur and Dol Baran, or Dol Amroth.

Well, let's see. "Fire", as in "pretty flame". I have some slightly pyro tendancies when the mood takes me. (Not usually, just occaisionally). And "foot" as in 12 inches. So I'm a 12 inch flame.

Seriously, though, Firefoot is the name of Éomer's horse and I have no idea why I picked that at the moment. It just sounded cool, I guess.

Don't I know that mood... I have the same one. Remember "Fiery Spirit"? Hoo-boy... I was the one who sits in the back of the Chemistry room playing with the sparkers (for the bunsen burners). My entire lab thought I was nuts. That's okay though, since it was mutual.

For a little more history of Fea's name, the "of the" comes from a stage I went through when all of my creative writing characters were of some place or group. Example: Princess Miriam Anamaeri Julietta Sarafina of Ayviaron. Usually I just called her Miri.

So my name turns into Half-elven Fiery Spirit Who Likes The Word "Of". I could call myself Hefswltwo...

I found this whilst trying to find a website to learn Gaelic...

Mile (pronounced meela)

Sorry, I can't remember what it means at the moment, but ye could probably look it up somewhere. I just remembered it because it made me laugh, which got me in trouble, as I was at the library.
