Is it Shiny?

It's not Sunlending, it's not the Sun.

Gil Galad, I have no idea about your question. Do you mean the equivalent of Vladimir on one of those Elvish name generators? Do you mean a possible Elvish name made up from 'volod' meaning to rule and 'mir' meaning peace? Either way, I'm at a loss....

Gil-Galad · 06-23-2005, 02:32 PM

err...to be honest i'm confused myself... but yea i'm pretty sure its the name generator...

Vladimir in elvish is Surutar

In that case, it is not a literal translation, and would not be counted . . .

. . . I think. Could anyone rule on this? Sauce?

The answers must be from Tolkien's works. Answers from name generators do not count. Otherwise, we might as well start allowing names from fan fics etc, which would make the question-setter's job impossible.
