Agent Elrond reporting here, I became a LotR nut after seeing the Fellowship of the Ring and have since became completely fascinated by all things Middle-Earth. I just hope i don't embarrass myself on these forums too much

Welcome to the Downs Agent Elrond (loving the sig

)

and of course Maedhros_the_Tall (mathy, Tally, Mally, ros, etc.), who I didn't get a chance to welcome before.

Rubby!

Welcome, Agent Elrond!

Hope your stay is long and pleasant.

No, I don't really like it because it's an adjective I've definitely never identified with (except maybe as a premature baby born almost two months too early, but I guess I didn't identify with any word back then

)... Besides, if one thinks of the mere sounds of words "thin" and "lommy", the latter sounds much more like how I am. Okay, now I'm getting carried away and semi-philosophical... But anyway, I don't mind being called Thin (as long as it's not the common way of addressing me) as it's very nostalgic.

I agree that's it bad: it sounds similar to the way people talk about b-level Swedish studies here...

As for Maedhros... I can really only think of "Meady"... or "Maedy" (or maybe even "Mayday"?

)... or Maedhry or Maedhri (latter one looks better in my opinion, but it might look more alien to you English-speakers)...

Maedhri

Ooh, I like this one. Though for eases sake I would probably go with Maedy.

Ah! And welcome Agent Elrond. Nice to see so many new faces.

No no, Maedhri is good! I like it! Sounds cool to be honest!

Eönwë · 06-09-2008, 11:25 AM

How about Maedi or Madi (or Medi for that matter).

And welcome TeleriFan

Thinlómien · 06-09-2008, 11:32 AM

Lol, any of the ones suggested are fine by me

but Maedhri is my personal favourite at the moment! Does that rule it out of the running?

Don't know if I've been here long enough to get away with this, but, welcome TeleriFan!

Welcome Agent Elrond, and don't worry about embarrassing youreself we do it all the time!

Olórin the White · 06-06-2008, 07:41 PM

well hello there. I've trolled around on Tolkien forums for years and never really been compelled to post, but I was at last prompted to after reading some discussions over The Hobbit and film adaptations

I greatly look forward to being in community with other ardent fans of Tolkien's genius!

Groin Redbeard · 06-06-2008, 08:13 PM

Welcome to the Downs, Olórin the White, it looks like we're getting a surge of new members!

Gwathagor · 06-06-2008, 08:15 PM

Hmmm...people...

satansaloser2005 · 06-06-2008, 08:36 PM

Ohhhh, dear....Hehe Kath, you're welcome to call me Stan....so long as I'm welcome to lynch you....

Kidding, KIDDING! *gives sister Kath some special tea....*

Nah, I understand, but seeings how I'm a girl and all (I think that actually confused someone. Don't remember who, but the first game I was in someone kept referring to me as a male and I kept having the urge to lynch Stan so I could have my account all to myself

)
