What is the reason for your nickname ?

[Galadriel]

Not much of a story, really. I found Galadriel's personality more powerful than any one's in LotR (apart from Gandalf). I didn't like her much initially, but eventually I found a respect for her that was hard to define.

[Lastande Took]

I got my real name, found a website that translates your name into Quenya, and 'Lastande' was the result. (I hope it has the same meaning as my real name. ) 'Took' because I like Hobbits a lot, and the Tooks are, well, Tookish, something I'd like to be. That's how I got my mixture of High-Elven and Hobbit.

@Blind Guardian - Especially their nightfall in middle-earth album, the ultimate(and possibly only) combination of tolkien and metal

@Galadriel - Lol what do you mean you will "diminish"? Besides, no going into the west for all of us mortals, "all roads are now bent".

I found feanor to be the deepest and most vivid character, and also one of the most tragic, I constantly found myself empathising and identifying with him. So I chose this, which also happens to fit balrogs nicely, which are also cool. In fact tolkiens whole fea/spirit concept is awesome, was it maedhros who came back from his time at angband and for all his torment his spirit burned brighter than ever?

[LadyBrooke]

Brooke is my middle name, and on several other sites I'm known as LadyBrookeofLorien so I just dropped the ofLorien part. Plus several of the forum names I chose when I was younger are terribly embarrassing to me know like Council of Elrond one or my Fictionalley one (rowena&salazar4ever). At least they're not OrliFan#1 or something like that.

I think I was high on sugar at that time

How the same with me!!!!!!!
Also, I kind of forgot about all the women of the 1st and 2nd ages, so my choices of LOTR names were pretty limited. Out of the women mentioned in LOTR, I like Galadriel the most at the moment, although Eowyn is pretty fascinating as well.

[findorfin]

The House of Finwe is my favourite family in the Silmarillion so I came up with a name that seemed to fit in well. That must have been back around 2000 (although obviously a different account to the new one I now have).

I'm pleased with it.

I didn't think much of Éowyn, actually. I just thought Galadriel was absolutely brilliant I mean, wise, an athlete, intelligent, powerful, masterful and also the daughter of Finarfin. Yep, that's one heck of a woman.

I liked Aredhel too, but not as much as Galadriel.

[Galadriel55]

When I decided on my username, for some reason I completely forgot about the 1st age women. I like Morwen best, even better than Galadriel. But Galadriel would be 2nd place, of course . 3rd place would probably be Melian. What about you, guys? What nickname would you choose if it wasn't the one you have?
No offence, Galadriel, but I don't think much of Aredhel.

No offence taken I rather like Melian myself. You have to see this illustration of her face-palming while Thingol has had Maglor tied to a pillar and Daeron is driving the poor Noldo to madness by singing

I have numerous nicks I would choose.

My name translated into elvish is Eruwaedhiel. I would probably use that or just use plain ol' Lord Elrond. Or I would use something to do with the Rangers, possibly just use Ranger of the North. OR I would use something relating to Elladan and Elrohir. Haha, but I like my nick now, Mellryn Maiden.

I just love those trees!
