Fordim or Fordhim? The Horrors of S-p-e-l-l-i-n-g - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Another rather embarassing spelling-mistake: I actually just a few minutes ago noticed that Aman is Amanaduial the Archer, not Amanduial the Archer, which name made more sense to me... Oh no.

I also got my name from the bd name generator. I, fortunately, got an easy one to write and to pronounce...

One person i've had trouble with was H-I, spelling his name and guessing his gender... i also got mixed up about Mormegil and The Perky Ent...i'm pretty sure there both males...oh yeah and Nilp...still confused about Nilp...

I always forget whether to capitalize the second G in your name or not, Gil. Gil-galad or Gil-Galad?

And yes, that matters to me.

I've been wondering why I add in the "h" to Fordhim...? I think it's just because there's this good college that's close by called Fordham. Maybe, that's the reason?

Anyway, I've had a bunch of spelli Laitaineng problems lately. In the Werewolf thread I kept writing "Lataine" instead of Laitaine. And I called Dancing Spawn, Dancing Awn, don't ask me why. Not difficult names by any means, must of just had a mind lapse.

I only just clicked on this thread, out of curiosity...and I was surprised to see my own name come up on the first page. I'd assumed it was fairly simple. :P There is a spelling error in the actual name, I'm aware--I got it from the Hobbit Name Generator waaaay back in the day. I knew that when I registered here, but for the first time in my life, I liked the misspelling better than the actual spelling, at least in reference to myself--Azaelia looks like me. Azaelea does not. Can't explain it any better than that. *shrug* Just didn't want you all to think I wasn't aware that my own name was spelled wrong.

Ibrin's name takes the cake, though: Ibrîniðilpathânezel. Sooo many accents, so little time! Heh. Took me forever to work out a pronounciation, which I finally achieved by ignoring the accents alltogether. I feel like I should hand her (?) an award for "Best Use Of Accents" or some such.

EDIT: Also, a-HAH! I thought I was going crazy. It's nice to know that William did, for whatever reason, add an 'n' to his name. I'd been squinting at his name for days, wondering what wasn't right about it.
