What is the reason for your nickname ? - Page 4 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Re: "13 kids..."
Sam, that is. Me, I'm kidless. Sorry, I tend to get into character probably more often than I should. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

MY NICKNAME.

I CHOSE MY NICK NAME BECAUSE I WANTED ONE MAYBE NOONE HAD THOUGHT OF SINCE MOST PEOPLE OPT FOR CHARECTER NAMES RATHER THAN PLACES. I ALSO LIKE THE SOUND OF EDORAS.

Lush · 01-13-2002, 08:08 PM

Oh Samwise, I knew you weren't talking about yourself, but I had completely forgotten that Sam had 13 kids! Productive indeed.

01-13-2002, 08:35 PM

I picked mine because I think Gandalf is the best character in the books, but thats just my opinion. gandalf rules [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Vitesse · 01-14-2002, 09:59 AM

Vitesse means speed in French, but it's also the name of one of my favorite cars - the Triumph Vitesse, which was basically a little Triumph Herald economy car with a six-cylinder engine shoehorned in. Anyway I used to really like it, around the time I started posting on message boards. I still do, but nowadays I'm mostly taken to Italian machinery - I own a Fiat 128 and until recently, an immaculate Fiat 131 Mirafiori TC sedan (sold it less than two weeks ago). Those cars are virtually extinct in the USA and getting pretty rare in most other places too - thanks to typical Italian rust and quality issues and not being sports cars.

If there were such a thing, I'd be the all-knowing treebeard of old obscure cars.

But that's how I came to the name Vitesse.

Hama · 01-14-2002, 11:50 AM

Hama features in my favourite chapter: the turning point of the book as far as I'm concerned, where the wiles of Saruman and Wormtongue are defeated by Gandalf, Theoden is awakened and Rohan is roused for battle. Also for the excellent converstaion between Gandalf, Aragorn and Hama where they just quote proverbs at each other continuously:

A staff may be more than a prop for a wizard, but in times of doubt a man of honour trusts to his own judgement.

and so on. Hama's a bit of a dunce as a bouncer, but he has his heart in the right place.

Zippo · 01-14-2002, 03:04 PM

Samwise · 01-14-2002, 04:17 PM

Welcome, all you newcomers, as I fear there's no way I could remember all of your names......:confused

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-15-2002, 04:01 PM

Here's my reason for the nickname - I didn't want to take over a person's name from the book - I'd rather be a first-rate me than a second-class somebody else. I feel very human, so that means no elf, dwarf or hobbit name. The last name came first - I'm a walker and the Elvish translation of Strider seems elegant without being highflying. When I read the story of Arwen and Aragorn in the appendix, I found his Elvish name "Estel", which means hope - that appealed to me and only needed some feminizing to be perfect. Wow - that was almost as serious and complicated as choosing names for my kids!! Anyway, here I am!

01-15-2002, 04:28 PM

beacause, i want to be an elf, live in Rivendell and go on holidays in Lorien

Dûrkriswen · 01-16-2002, 05:19 PM

Dûrkriswen: It's my Elven name. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Elvenglass · 01-16-2002, 06:12 PM

My nickname comes from this passage "A ship then new they built for him, of mithril and of elven-glass and shining prow no shaven oar nor sail she boar on silver mast, the simiril as lantern light and banner bright with living flame to gleam thereon by Elbereth herself was set, who hither came, and wings immortal made for him, and laid on him undying doom, to sail the shoreless skies and come behind the sun and light of moon." This is a song of Bilbo's from the fellowship of the Ring. I liked the word Elvenglass so I chose it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Samwise · 01-16-2002, 07:30 PM

Wow...I like it, Elvenglass, I like it. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

My nickname is Telfan the Elf because I got it from this site using the "What is your elven name?" I like elves and wish to live in Rivendell some day.

Maltagaerion is my elvish name [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (the other names the name generators threw out didn't sound anywhere as neat)

I don't know what the other names were, but I think the one you picked sounds pretty neat, too.

01-18-2002, 04:33 PM

I chose mine because I am passionate about Celtic names and Meánoíche is a corruption of the name I use on other BBSes transalated into Gaelic. That in turn comes from a Leonard Cohen song.

Enedhil · 01-18-2002, 05:22 PM

I'm fansinated by Celtic names too and my [what you would call real] name is Seonad. gaelic for Janet. Enedhil is the elven translation, but my nickname in elven is Mortathraiel!
Does anyone else think that elven names and some hobbit names are distantly celtic-sounding? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Ghâshgûl · 01-18-2002, 05:42 PM

My nickname is simply the Black Speech version of Feanor ( "fire spirit" ). I think if Feanor would have changed the side, he would have been an excellent servant of Melkor, as he was full of passion and hate. Perhaps he would have translated his name into Black Speech. Of course this is just hypotetical.

I have choosen a Black Speech name not because I am feeling eeeeeeeevil, but because I am currently thinking about how the Ring War was from the viewpoint of the "bad guys".

Ghâshgûl

dernhelm · 01-18-2002, 05:44 PM

I picked dernhelm which is the name Eowyn used when she disguised herself as a man and a Rider of Rohan. I chose it because there are not many girl names to pick from, and I wanted a nickname no one else had but that still was associated with a female character.

Daisy Sandybanks · 01-18-2002, 09:38 PM

I'm not sure if I already posted this, but ohwell... anyway I got my nickname off of the "what's your Hobbit name?" generator. There were others that I tried too, but I didn't like many of them, and pluse I absolutley love Hobbits, so,naturally I choose this one. Yup, thats it, nothing special to my nickname. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well the other names were...

Orc - Akhrárz the Testy (Look out, hes 'testy')

Hobbit - Hildifons Underhill from the Far Downs (Too long!)

Dwarf - Parin Rockbringer (Not too bad)

Elf - Maltagaerion (Obviously the one I chose [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])

Aldaron · 01-18-2002, 11:59 PM

When I first joined the board I was reading The Silmarillion and was taken with the character of Aldaron, who took care of trees.
That fit with my environmental nature.

Nazgûl Queen · 01-19-2002, 12:19 AM

<center>Maltagaerion - i really like your orcish name.... hehehe...

I like the way all you smart people are doing translations to make names....
I especially like the name Ghashgul.... the black speech just sounds cool!

Sindalómiel · 01-19-2002, 12:38 AM

My names were:

Elf: Sindalómiel
Dwarf: Varin Lightningshield
Orc: Bagsnik the Cleaver
Hobbit: Hanna Boffin from Archet

Oh and yes definitely the elven names. they sound very Celtic. On one of my Celtic baby name sites I use I found a Welsh name very similar to Arwen actually. Which leads me to wonder. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

(Yeah, I know, that particular instance didn't happen that way in the book. Nevertheless, I thought it was kinda cute/funny that Gandalf asked Sam of all people, and of course, Sam's response....) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Fenrir · 01-19-2002, 04:47 PM

I was feeling very unoriginal so I picked Fenrir, the name of Loki's wolf son in Norse myth.
I picked it because:
a)It starts with the same letter as my name in real life.
b)I like the sound of Norse names and have a slight interest in mythology.
c)I feel sorry for, and occasionally admire, the bad guys in stories.
d)Fenrir is the slayer of Odin, even if he does get torn apart by Vidar afterwards he's still one hell of a wolf.

northernlight · 01-20-2002, 01:09 PM

mine really doesn't have anything to do w/tolkien...it's just a nickname i picked up when i was getting into this message board stuff last spring...i couldn't think of anything but it was late at night and where we live (waaaay out in the middle of nowhere) you can see the northern lights sometimes in the sky. so i looked out my window and there they were and there was my nickname [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] i use it on all the messageboards i go on.

Nuinrog · 01-20-2002, 10:24 PM

Nuinrog was a general of Morgoth in the 4th age when he was released from Mandos. He was the ruler of Duloth-Arvanthand, which was Melkor's fortress upon Middle-earth, as his main one was on Valinor in the north, where he waged war with the Valar until Turin Turambar slew him(Melkor). Nuinrog was a fallen Vala and Master of Shadows. I am not sure who Nuinrog slew and was slain by, but I know he was killed.

I was in a flippant playful mood after reading "Dude, Where's My Ring?" on this site. Thought any LotR site that had the nerve to make fun of the series had my vote. My nick is a wink at the mouthfuls these languages can be. I wasn't thinking of ents, really.
