At my school, we are reading The Hobbit right now. We are studying Quenya and Sindarin. Our teacher went to the Barrow-Downs to get our Elvish names!!

[img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] I'm trying to get it through to my teacher that the Name Generator only generates a name; she believes that it translates your name. BTW, in class, we have to call each other the names that the Name Generator gave us. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
