What is the reason for your nickname ?

Because. . .

Well I chose this because I like Rosie Cotton even though she has a very small part. But the nick I use most as_eowyn I chose because Eowyn is my favorite woman in the books. I guess that's because I can relate to her she's stuck at home with the weak and the old and so am I.

Nicknames

I was looking for a nick that had something to do with stars. When I looked it up, I found Elendil. I really like it because it had two meanings: &quot;Lover of stars&quot; and &quot;Elf-friend&quot;. Both meanings were appropriate, so it was an easy choice.

My nickname

What can i say i like hobbits so i attached a last name that didn't really relate to any of the other characters to my first. I like it it's also a sentance. Hannah burrows.

Mine is a rendering in elvish of a real life nickname, Mith - Adan.

my nickname

I choose Lorien as a nickname because I love Lothlorien and elves, and also because of its meaning: I dream very often, even when I am awake...

On the other hand, I wouldn´t like to take a character´s name as a nickname.A personal mania.So I choose Lorien de Loth.There are Loriens and Lothloriens, but until now I have never met another Lorien de Loth.

Re: my nickname

Voronwe has a fairly obscure part in the Silmarillion, being mentioned but once or twice. However, he does play a much more important role in Unfinished Tales. I'm a great UT fan, hence the choice of nick. Also, the idea of being a mariner kinda strikes a chord with me for some reason.

Frankly and looking back at things, I wish I had chosen another nickname in the lines of either Bombadil or Fangorn, or maybe something darker succ as King of Angmar but I am sure they were taken..

My name

As mentioned elsewhere a long, long time ago, my name is a mix of the title of my favorite X-Files episode (&quot;War of the Coprophages&quot and how many books will be in the Harry Potter series (7). LOTR fits in because gandalf is part of my e-mail address.

Re: Nickname

Mine has nothing to do with Tolkien. Back when I needed a ezboard name I was feeling uncreative and just ripped off the title of the first song from Gorefest's False album.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/ emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

the nickname

I always had a special place for the Nine. Their presence is known before they arrive in the form of a choking fear. I had noticed somewhere that the Black Captain was also known as Morgul, so for me it was an obviuos choice..

Re: the nickname

I was looking at some black speech words.

Nazg means ring and 'goth' means lord. As in Morgoth. and Nazgul. Gul=Wraith.

I don't know if combining them is right but if Tolkien can do it with Nazgul then I can do it with Nazgoth. Ring Lord.

Re: the nickname

Gilthalion is an elvish name that was my attempt made in ancient times, before many of you were born, to translate my Christian name &quot;Robert.&quot;

Robert = &quot;shining fame&quot;

Way back about 20 years ago, there were no internet references handy, nor much else! I chose &quot;thalion&quot; for strong/brave/stalwart and &quot;gil&quot; for star. That was as close as I could come.

&quot;Thaliongil&quot; for Brave/Strong Star didn't sound right.

&quot;Gilthalion&quot; sounded better to my ears, and that was that.

Oddly enough, I am more like a hobbit than an elf, but I still liked the way it sounded, so when I discovered these Tolkien Discussion Boards, I started using the name anyway!

Re: Re:the nickname

Alas, no scholarly Tolkien derivation for my nickname. It's just a combination of my favorite character and the initials of my college (Mary Washington College) where my friends and I spent far more time delving into Middle Earth than was good for our grade point averages!!

Nick

I've allways had a thing for dwarves and their crafts, proberly because my own hands can do nothing of much practical use. Dwarves are truehearted and sturdy folk, and Telchar was I deem the most reputated smith of the all. I allways (from I was little) had the thourght that Anduril was &quot;just&quot; a broken sword repaired by elves of Imladris. In my mind much inferior to the original Narsil made by Telchar

Cheers

My surname is Dagelur

Hello Dear Fellows! <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

I am a newcomer here and I am happy to see such fair folk in the virtual (but real) Middle Earth.

After beginning to read the LotR, i felt the need to choose a nickname...but not to take any name already existing in the story. I wanted to choose my own nickname, sounding &quot;Middle-Earth&quot;...and I chose DAGELUR, which is a partial anagram of my name and my Girlfriend's name in French.
This nickname was not chosen at random, for each set of 3 letters makes up another word or the beginning of an other word.

Then, in DAGELUR you can see:

DAG for DAGGER
AGE for AGE!
ELU (=ELECTED in French)
LUR for LURKING! (That's just for fun, I don't wish to embody any evil creature!)


I wish you all a good journey across Middle Earth and hope to meet you on, or outside the East Road.

Your Dagelur

Re: What is the reason for your nickname ?

Amyrlis (pronounced ah-meer-lis, with accent on meer) Dornathan. I made it up by adding some letters to my first &amp; middle names. I kind of wish that I would have picked something with true Tolkien meaning. All of yours are great! I've also been toying with changing it to the name of the Vanyar elf who Finrod loved yet left behind in Aman - I just noticed her name in the Sil - Amarie. Oh to be the only love of Finrod Felagund!

Well,I ...like Urwen Lalaith. Since Lalaith is used...I chose Urwen.

Re: Whats in a name?

My name comes from an old Rebetika song, probably brought to Greece by refugees from Asia Minor. Nothing to do with LOTR, but its one of my favourite songs and I thought the name sounded LOTRish.
Incidentally, Coprophage7, do you know what YOUR name means in Greek?
