Your name in Elvish - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There's a big bunch of Quenya translations of names at http://www.elvish.org/elm/names.html. My Quenya name is Alcarillo, my screenname. As for Sindarin names, you'll have to search elsewhere.

Alcarillo - your signature reminds me of my high school concert choir. They insist on having us do one performance with the orchestra a year, and quite often it's a Requiem or something. This was the last year they're doing it (notice right before I graduate), since it's always such a disaster with the orchestra. Plus some parents were getting upset, since the majority of our families are not Christian, but we seem to only to Christian songs.

And Neurion: when I say either Sindarin or Quenya to my parents they look at me like I'm speaking - well - another language. They have no clue what I'm talking about. So at least you're a step ahead of them.

I just found my signature while flipping through (skipping ahead in, actually) one of my Latin books, and I liked how it sounded. But off topic...

Neurion sounds Quenya to me, and somewhat like the word neuron, too. As to its Sindarin equivalent, I'm clueless.

My name is very uncommon, but it does translate to 'Joy' in English, so in Quenya it would be Alassë. My middle name is a derived from the name Mary, so it would just be María. (Tolkien used this in his Quenya translation of the Hail Mary, rather than translating the meaning of the name.)

My name is Erugwest or Erugwaedh in Sindarin. That looks weird now that I write it out, but it sounds cool enough. *goes and checks Quenya* Eruvérë or Eruvanda. Those look better, I think I like Eruvérë best of the four it looks the most Elven too with the accents.
