What would you name your sword - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rose Cotton · 01-31-2002, 05:46 PM

You know the swords in Middle Earth normaly have names. Well, what would you name your sword? I was thinking of 'Slice & Dice'.

Maltagaerion · 01-31-2002, 07:20 PM

Nevtelluma

[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 01-31-2002, 07:52 PM

Gaurcrist the were-wolf cleaver.

Frahhamn · 01-31-2002, 08:02 PM

Bob the Idiot-chopper. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Kuruharan · 01-31-2002, 09:43 PM

LOL!! As hard as I try I just can't top Bob the Idiot Chopper!

Elrian · 01-31-2002, 10:21 PM

Sounds like a winner to me too! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I'm tempted to go out a buy a sword just so I can name it that.

Rosa Underhill · 01-31-2002, 10:58 PM

Hee hee... Bob... I approve! *applaudes*

Hmmm... Paperweight the Unused. (Seriously, what would I do with a sword? I named my white cane "Excalibur" once, though; that was before I got my dog.)

The Mirrorball Man · 02-01-2002, 09:42 AM

I would name it "Kleptomonkey".

02-01-2002, 09:53 AM

Bob the Idiot Chopper. That name rocks.

I would probably name my sword... um... Cheese. Yeah, Cheese.

Niphredil Baggins · 02-01-2002, 09:57 AM

Wow for Bob! I'd name mine That Bloody Thing.
Thing for short, rhymes with Sting.

Eldar14 · 02-01-2002, 10:25 AM

The Fish. Just "The Fish." Either that or Rûdhnaur, which I get when I type "Really Big Sword That Goes Boom!!" into the elven name generator. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Jjudvven · 02-01-2002, 12:44 PM

I'd problably be completely uncreative and name it something like 'Glamdring', 'Sting',
'Narsil' or something like that.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-01-2002, 01:14 PM

Mine is named "Agnes".

Frahhamn · 02-01-2002, 02:17 PM

ALLRRRRRIGHT!!! I'm a hit on my first post!!!

HUZZAH!

actually, i was here when the barrow-downs forum was first made... but i was busy and haven't come back till now. and by this time, i'd forgotten my old account... so anyway... glad you liked my sword name! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

RATE ME! GO TO MY BOARD! YAY! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Enkanowen · 02-01-2002, 02:43 PM

I think I would call my sword Althea, meaning pure.
Or Enkanowen's Blade of Pain. I don't know which one's better

02-01-2002, 05:50 PM

Mister Pointy.

Frahhamn · 02-01-2002, 06:56 PM

HAW HAW!

mine was better.

VISIT MY BOARD!

Jjudvven · 02-01-2002, 07:16 PM

Bob the Idiot-Chopper, that was pretty dang funny... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] not much can beat that, Frahhamn.

Rose Cotton · 02-01-2002, 09:33 PM

Bob the Idiot-chopper definatly outstrips Slice and Dice(which really wasn't good at all) But in my opinion all these names are great. I'm getting tons of laughs. Keep the names coming.

Samwise · 02-01-2002, 09:59 PM

Hm. Ages ago I had an elf-like character whose sword was named 'To Sanctify Justice' I gave it a name that was it some made up language which was supposed to mean the above. Out of curiosity I put To Sanctify Justice in the name generator (Elf) and came out with:

Morhuanion.

Guess I'd name my sword that. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rosa Underhill · 02-01-2002, 11:12 PM

Paperweight the Unused is Bragolré in Elvish and, if it were a hobbit, my sword would be Saradoc Brown of Woody End! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Heh... I got mah bad, bad Saradoc Brown!

Maltagaerion · 02-02-2002, 12:56 AM

By the way...Nevtelluma was what I got when I put 'Orc Cleaver' in the Elvish name generator.

Fenrir · 02-02-2002, 07:09 AM

Fluffy or Flossy. If I had a sword and a matching dagger that's what I'd call them.

Seriously? Angruin

Jjudvven · 02-02-2002, 12:12 PM

Fluffy? Flossy? That is weird... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Frahhamn · 02-02-2002, 12:22 PM

Perethil · 02-02-2002, 02:37 PM

id name it Mr Pink
(see reservoir dogs)

Mayla Took · 02-02-2002, 03:55 PM

Hummm....I did like the "Bob-" suggestion! Lol! How about..."Pointie" or "Staby"! Or maybe "The Shinny Silver Slicer"??

Frahhamn · 02-02-2002, 04:26 PM

haw haw!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

hey guys! visit my board. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] i need members... and posts... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lostgaeriel · 02-02-2002, 04:45 PM

Well, for my work in the garment trade, I'm going to need 3 swords:

Alagdeloth: Paper Scissors (for pattern-making when the CAD system crashes)
Bragolmereth: Fabric Cleaver
Sirithlithion: Pinking Shears (used only for fabric swatches on story boards!)

They sound so elegant in Elvish.

[ February 02, 2002: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

Jjudvven · 02-02-2002, 04:47 PM

Those are pretty good. But Bob the Idiot-Chopper was probably the best.

Samwise · 02-02-2002, 05:25 PM

Well, I see you went and bought a 'Sting' replica. I've seen those in person, very nice! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

So, what WILL you name it? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Rosa Underhill · 02-02-2002, 10:59 PM

*whistles* Wow, bet that took some saving up for...

Heh, you could call it...Tim? (Monty Python reference.)

Arfalasion would be its name. Figure it out on your own. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ara'rial · 02-03-2002, 10:25 PM

Nice sword...hum...Bob is the best. Heh, I should name my pocket knife that...well I did make up a name for a sword once...it was really stupid. Gil-Celeb. Well..it sounded nice when you looked at the meaning but I'm not sure if I got the name right.

Phil The Balrog · 02-03-2002, 11:53 PM

Belegthôlion meaning "Justice and Mercy"

or something more menacing like

Galenchilion meaning "Devil's Bane"
Nilmerethion meaning "Demon Fang"
Ringgaerion meaning "Righteous Anger"
Neftalion meaning "Dragon Tooth"

or something really hardcore like

Eglanedlorion which is "I kill bad guys and always get the girl"

Guess I could just name it Little Phil.

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-04-2002, 04:01 AM

I would call it something like "decapitor" ...
