What is the reason for your nickname ?

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.

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.

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!
