Who’s got the best Title? (Do I hear some Nominees?) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gurthang · 09-01-2005, 11:54 PM

Congratulations morm, TORE, TGWBS, and dancing spawn!

I'm rather partial to Maundering Mage. (Although I don't know what Maundering means.)

dancing spawn: Does yours mean anything significant? It is kind of confusing me.

Also, I just looked up Scion in the dictionary, and so I must say I really like yours Nilp. I liked it before, but now that I understand it, I like it even better.

My personal favourite out of the new four is also Raffish Rapscallion, even though I tend to associate "Rapscallion" with Eomer so I'm probably going to screw that up sometime in the future!

It rolls off the tongue too.

I like all of them, though. Maundering Mage, the other alliterative one, should, in my opinion, have been Maundering Monkey though.

Or 'Aundering Ape?

Mischievous Candle... I don't know why I like that. It brings to mind a beautifully fluttering flame, that might be why. Fire is lovely to watch, though less pleasant to touch.

I had to look up Raffish, Maundering and Scion too, so don't worry, Gurthang, you're not the only one with an abysmal vocabulary! And yes, that did make me appreciate Nilp's PT more, even if it does imply that all the rest of us are heretics...

Oddwen · 09-02-2005, 08:31 AM

Congrats to all! I assume, D-spawn, that your "candle" is a ref to the Dead Marshes?

But my favorite has to (still) be Hookbill's "Alive Without Breath". That's just...teh aw3somenessxors!

Thanks Oddwen! The Drummer in the Deep is among my favourites also, it’s so great! I probably would have stolen it if you did not already have it.

I had to also...& I had to double-check on rapscalion.

Two of my faves would have to be Drummer in the Deep & Bringer of the Red Dawn.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 09-02-2005, 09:25 AM

Thanks guys.

I looked up those difficult words in a dictionary, too.

Yes, you're right.

I am most partial to SpM's Corpus Cacophonous. I know it's probably been stated before but I really think it's very clever. If you haven't looked it up do so at dictionary.com which after the downs is probably one of my favorite sites.

Orominuialwen · 09-02-2005, 04:59 PM

I rather like Orofaniel's Mighty Mouse of Mordor. I don't know if it's new, or if I only just noticed it for the first time a few weeks ago, but it definitely fits her avatar (a jumping mouse). I also find it funny, since I know somebody in RL whose nickname is Mighty Mouse.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 09-03-2005, 01:03 PM

Congratulations to the newly titled! They are well-earned.

the guy who be short · 08-19-2006, 10:27 AM

Formendacil's is wonderful and well-suited.

Gil-Galad · 08-19-2006, 10:36 AM

Aye, Form's is hillaurious, i love it...and if only i had used it... so i must go back in time!!1

Don't worry, we all can't be scions of the greatest Quendi who ever lived.

Well a few of us got some PT's yesterday. Kath is now Everlasting Whiteness and Kitanna is Child of the West and I am Fluttering Enchantment.

I love um all, there so pretty!

Is there any one I missed that got one?

Kath · 10-09-2005, 06:52 AM

wilwa thanks for bumping this thread up, I hadn't seen tht mine had appeared

Yours is very pretty and I like Kitanna's too - though she kept hers very well under wraps, I didn't even know she was getting one!

Encaitare · 10-09-2005, 07:33 AM

Nice choice, Wilwa! Congrats to all three of ye.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 10-09-2005, 07:49 AM

I love your personal title, Kath. Who thought it up, and what does it mean?

Flattering Enchantment, how fitting, Wilwa!

Child of the West. It's so simple, so wonderful. Great choice, Kitanna!

Congratulations to you three on getting your PT's!
