Tall tower. Makes sense. Thanks a lot.

Memory of Trees · 03-07-2005, 01:10 PM

Mine is completely in English and has no meaning. I have a meaning-less name... *sniff*

Not! It may not have meaning, but who wouldn't want to be something as ancient and beautiful as the Memory of Trees?

Or maybe all the trees are gone, and I am remembering them.

Or maybe it's from the Enya song... who can tell? I wasn't aware when I signed up that I wouldn't be able to change my user name! Ach...

That's okay. I sort of like my name anyway.

Maybe you remember the Ents, the Tree-Herders?

I actually have a group of friends and we all call eachother by our designated Elvish names. I'm Parmawen (obviously) and it comes from Parma (meaning books) and wen (meaning maiden) =Book Maiden, since my nose is usually burried in a book, explaining why i'm so pale!

How lovely! What are your other friends' names?

Dragon Reborn · 03-31-2005, 11:18 PM

My name comes from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books. If any of you have read them you wold pick it up straight away. But I also love dragons and dragon creatures so I guess you could say I had a personal magnetism to the name anyway, and it is kind of like I have been reborn in the world of Tolkien with the whole forum identity business...and being in Tolkien's world.

Nobody else seems to have names from other books they've read I notice. Although I only really read through the posts on this last page...

Aldawen....and Layowyn...(I think Aldawen is tree-maiden, not a clue about Layowyn). We got them from using that book by Ruth Noel (sp?) so I'm not sure if they're grammatically correct!

Same here... Now i'm stuck with a title that is bound to put Eru in a tizzy...

Memory of Trees... Great name none the less!

Trees are awsome, and thus you are too...

Lathriel is a name I made up for the only fanfiction I ever wrote. Its set in ME and Lathriel is a princess. I don't think the name has any eaning but I like the sound of the name.

As for my real name, in Quenya I believe it is Dur. That's what my name means anyway. So can you guess what my real name is?

Lathriel · 04-03-2005, 05:33 PM

I'll give you a hint, it is Italian or greek and it means dark in Italian.In greek it means rich.
I probably should have told you before that my name is not from english origin.
