The reason for my nickname is pretty simple; it's Quenya for Christina, which is my name.

Um . . . yeah. Getting back to the subject my nickname is hard to explain [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] . I woulda' chose a Tolkien one, but everything was taken, (and I can't remember strings of numbers! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) And I didn't make one up, 'cause everything I did sounded L-A-M-E. So . . . I made up one that has to do with me! My alter ego, actually. Mintyztwin. And I used a "z" instead of a "s" 'cuz "z's" are COOL! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

That is all I'll explain 'cuz its a LONG complicated story. And it would prob. make most of you think I'm crazy!

BTW, I am relativly new. But I love this site! Yay Barrow-Downs! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hehehe, my nickname actually came by an accident... I was typing at Microsoft Word, and happened to type in the word Mlö, wich doesn't mean anything [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. Then when I came to the BD chat, I couldn't use the ö, so it got to be Mlo, since then I just use Mlo... hehehehe.... Sounds quite funny actually, mlo, mlo....hehehehe [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

I used to have an elvish name in here, Navmarien. I got it from the name generator. but something screwy happened and I couldn't use it anymore, I don't know why. Tangerine is the name of a song I like...even though the title really didn't fit in with the rest of the lyrics. Also I like how they smell. I know that sounds kinda stupid, but I couldn't think of anything better at the time, and that seemd kind of neat and different in here at the time. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Old Tom Bombadil's a merry old fellow, bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow!

Jolly old Tom seems like the one character that really sticks out as odd. I thought i would take notice of him.

Hmmm, so I've finally got around to posting in this thread. I've been meaning to, but I wanted to the read the whole thing first. So now that's out of the way...

I chose my name because I love Pippin, and according to the family trees and the Tale of Years in the Appendix, he married "Diamond of Long Cleeve". I tried to use that or "Diamond Took", but they were both taken. (I was hoping to see those people in this thread, but so far I haven't come across those names anywhere).

Also, I imagine that I'm somewhat like Diamond would be. Hobbits are homebodies, but I figure that any hobbit lass who would marry Pippin would be interested in his adventures (or at least impressed by his Gondorian uniform). I like to read about danger and adventure in books and watch it in movies, but for my real life I like things nice and boring!

And the 18 is just my age. I didn't try just plain Diamond because after the first two didn't work I figured that would be taken as well. Now I wish I'd added something more interesting to "Diamond", but it's too late for that.

I chose Arwen Evenstar, because I respect and admire her. She has such a strong will, and she radiates majesty. Plus she is an elf and i am totally and utterly in love with all elves!! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

In 'Northern lights' Zohariel is just one of the names they dropped. I think it is a dead person's daemon. I thought it sounded really dark & cool.

Bright Rage (quenya, well more accurately qenya, its sort of archaic).

A question i have wondered for a while is are the name generators on the site just random or do they have some sort of algorithm behind them (don’t try and tell me its got Quenya and Sindarin programmed in)

For the love of god. Can’t you people get a boyfriend or something? You don’t love Elves cause they have long blonde hair or pretty eyes! You love them because they are wise and courageous, and their beauty is in their song and lore. Dammit people will never get it.

"Orual" is the name of the main character in C.S. Lewis' "Till We Have Faces." I liked her, and I was sick of my old nickname that nobody could spell (it was only "Soleil," it's not THAT hard), and the rest is history.

Yes, Galorme, the name generator is completely random, and not a true translation of your name.

My Wiccan name is Phoenix Songheart, from my various u-turn changes in my life (from various traumas reborn and all) and my love (it truly is, I'd give up anything for it) of music.
So I translated it myself (none of that name generator stuff). However, I couldn't find the exact terms, so I ended up with "Lindril Arvilya"- "Songflame Skylover". Close enough I think.

Hi everyone! i too had trouble when signing in. where are all the people gone they take the names and vanish! How annoying! Anyway my friends all call me "Elwen" which is 'star maiden' but it had gone so i had to use the silm and find another name. 'arelendil' meaning 'noble star friend' i totally forgot that elendil was a person until i had pressed return. I don't suppose all the names that are taken and not used could be cancelled, i hate having to remember two names!

I chose mine because I have a strange facination with the Nazgul, Minas Morgul and (even stranger) Angmar.
I was gonna be Angmar Queen but that would mean kicking the Witch King out of Angmar and that would take too much time... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
