No thanks.
 I like pretending the numbers dont excist. You can choose from the following: Wilwarin, Wilwa, Willy(which I really like now because of the new Johnny Depp movie  ) or Wil. No 538 thank you very much.

Fordhim is easy to explain...
"dh"s litter the Elvish language: Caradhras, Galadhrim, Pengolodh, edhc, edhc... And, it's fun to tease Master Shrubpricklies...

And here I thought my name was actually short enough that I wouldn't ever have a nickname... actually, I like nicknames, even if I don't really have one (in RL, that is). Wilwa, if it makes you feel better, I didn't even realize your name had numbers until today. I had to do a double take and wonder if you weren't someone else who had taken your name...

I thought the h's had something to do with the differences in nationality, and thus some language variations. Although now I don't think so. All I can say is that I notice only two people (so far) who use the spelling Fordhim: Formendacil (Form? Formy? Formen?
) and Boromir88 (B88).As for the use of nicknames, doesn't that make us feel like we're really a community? Besides, just think - what if you have to spell Marileangorifurnimaluim every time when you can use Maril instead? But at first I never really liked people calling me Lhuna because it reminds me of a certain absurdity that some Filipinos do to their nicknames. I'm not exactly a fan of names like Jhon when it should be Jon or something like that. I find it annoying when I see names spelled that way. But when the use of Lhuna started picking up, I had no choice. Now, though, use it in good health. Quote:

I'm terribly disappointed in my name and I fervently wish that I had chosen a name more suitable for a site full of intellectuals. But what're you going to do? *shrugs* As far as spelling goes, Orominuialwen gave me the second worst trouble, right after Marilea......*gives up* |

) But so many Downers (mostly the ladies) have names like Carnemirialessenduilinawen that it's just necessary to shorten them.
