What is the reason for your nickname ? - Page 10 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Morgul Queen · 11-05-2002, 06:01 PM

Great, when do we start!!!

Sapphire_Flame · 11-06-2002, 12:05 PM

Erm, can we get back on topic?.....j/k Go ahead, continue your insanity. Just let me interrupt for a moment. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I chose my nickname for two reasons. 1) I'm a total pyromanic [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] (hence the _Flame part), and my favorite book (besides LotR naturally) is Firestarter by Stephen King. 2) The Sapphire part goes with my pen name on Fanfiction.net: SapphireMeriadocTook, which I chose because Merry (Meriadoc) and Pippin (Took) are my two favorite characters in LotR. Sapphire just sounded cool. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

My nickname is my Elfisch name as I got it out of the name generator.

Sleeping Beauty · 11-07-2002, 11:46 AM

My name is special because I love to sleep. *yawns* Nice naptime. :-D And since as I was child, I have loved faerie tales, so it all fits. Though my login name is MyRingNotYours. ^_^

Nuranar · 11-07-2002, 12:46 PM

I made up my name, "Nuranar," which I belives means "lover of the sun." That is certainly something I am!

Ainalondwen · 11-07-2002, 03:01 PM

My name is my real name in elvish - Roseanna.

I only know of one other person who spells it the same, and she's the local MP for my area! I don't think she'll be on this site somehow...

Peri · 11-07-2002, 03:07 PM

Well, I chose the nickname Peri because that's what my LOTR friends call me because I was born with one pointed ear [img]null[/img] null

11-07-2002, 04:57 PM

the name "Esgal" means "Hidden" in Quenya, and I chose it for a character in one of my fan fictions, who is also a half-elf. His other name is "Galen" for his green eyes, but Esgal is more suiting for his character and the main plot of the story.
*shrugs* I just wanted something different.

kaleidoscope · 11-07-2002, 05:55 PM

The reason for my nickname is: No reason

Isn't that great! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Actually, I chose kaleidoscope because it is the name of one of my favorite CDs. (Don't bother trying to look for the CD, you won't find it.)

Saurannûn the Wood Elf · 11-08-2002, 10:00 PM

Wells, I used the Name Generator from this site, and it turns out that I'm a Wood Elf, and my name is Saurannûniel [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ! I didn't really know WHAT I'd be, but I'm happy with what I am! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] My friend thought I'd be a cave troll, the bum-head! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Rynoah, the Overly-Happy · 02-20-2003, 02:56 PM

Easy enough question:

My name "Rynoah" is a name I made up for my "wereside" (for those of you who know about therianthropy, you'll know what I'm talking about). The "Overly-Happy" part was just something I made up on a last-second basis, based on how I act in the chatroom (when I'm there, which is seldom).

BethoHOG · 02-20-2003, 07:51 PM

Betho is my nickname. HOG comes from House Of God, which is what my name, Bethany, means. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

avarrogion · 02-20-2003, 08:13 PM

Correct me if i am wrong but this is certainly one of the oldest threads around?

Lyra Greenleaf · 02-23-2003, 05:09 PM

My name is a combination of my fave book (LOTR, obviously) and one of my other runners up (his dark materials, Philip Pullman- read it people)

oh yeah, with a big dollop of Orlando love!

Kates Frodo Temp · 02-24-2003, 07:53 PM

My name is Kates Frodo because my friend Kate introduced me to LotR, and she calls me Frodo. That's an honor coming from someone who's read LotR since fourth grade! Oh, yeah, the "Temp" stands for temporary, because this is only my temporary registration. I can't get on my own computer to figure out what my password is for my actual name (Kates Frodo2) until next week, cuz my friend wrecked my computer. (Grrrrroooooaaannnn)

Nuinatariel · 02-24-2003, 08:25 PM

Lyra, you read His Dark Materials, too? Awesome! I love those books!

The reason for my nickname is simply because this is what came up for me on the name generator here. Eventually I hope to figure out what it means, but for now I'm too lazy to look it up. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Eressië Ailin · 02-24-2003, 08:33 PM

STUPID NAME GENERATOR!!!

yeah... I don't like the name generator...

Just in case there is some one here who doesn't know, the name generator doesn't translate your name into Elvish or any other language, it just generates a name, hence the name: The Name Generator.

My screen name is my first and middle name in Quenya. Eressië Ailin~ Lonely lake, more or less.

Rochelle · 02-24-2003, 08:45 PM

I chose Rochelle because I wanted to combine two of my favorite races...Rohan and Elves.

Roch means horse in Sindarin...and what is Rohan most noted for? Horses.

So hence I became Rochelle. I was thinking Rochiel which is how it should be if it was completely elvish...but the 'elle' gives it more of a "human" touch [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Or so I think...

Rina · 02-24-2003, 09:29 PM

I chose Rina, since this is the elven translation (roughly) for my real name, which means "Crown." I actually took it from "Elerrina" which means "Crowned with Stars," another name for Taniquetil in The Silmarillion.

GaladrieloftheOlden · 02-24-2003, 09:32 PM

i am obsessed with LotR more than with anything else, but my runner up would most definitely be His Dark Materals(I need a new copy- mine has literally fallen apart from too much handling. My copy of Fellowship, too.) GaladrieloftheOlden came from nowhere in paricular, and I don't like it anymore, but it's not worth getting a new account and starting over. I like my nicknames on other sites better- I've got Modern_Evenstar, Mademoiselle_Greenleaf, OrlandosElf, IzzyGoneElf, and more that I can't remember right now. I like those more, but at least I didn't choose something really crummy. Keep the thread going, this is probabaly one of the longest and one of the funnest to read.

02-24-2003, 11:07 PM

My nick came from generator site for elves name.

Eressië Ailin · 02-24-2003, 11:19 PM

Like I said before, I really don't like the Name Generator...

Anyways, welcome to the Downs, Aranolein!!!

Quite easy, Beren is my favorite character while 87 is the great and grand year of my birth. (Remember that folks, it'll be famous in the future) [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

eleanor_niphredil · 02-25-2003, 01:54 AM

I picked mine because I thought it sounded pretty [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Arwen_Evenstar · 02-25-2003, 02:06 AM

I chose mine because in the book I really liked Arwen. She was beautiful, an Elf, Wise and she got to marry ARAGORN(How lucky can you get?) [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] !!!!

Imladrien · 02-25-2003, 09:44 AM

My first name is "Dale" and I am a woman. I played around with Quenya and Sindarin words for "valley" -- but then had a tough time registering my preferred names, here or elsewhere -- translated they all meant "valley girl" -- so I ended up settling for Imladrien, but now it is growing on me.
--Imladrien

On EZoard I was Findorfin but then when it moved somebody took my name, so i became 'the real findorfin'.

Wierd eh!

dragoneyes · 02-25-2003, 01:01 PM

I had a sort of fanfiction thing going on in my head, I never wrote it down so I've sort of forgotten it. Anyway, there was one character in it who's nickname was Dragoneyes, I thought it was a cool name so I used it. (I forgot to put a capital letter at the beginning though [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] )

Airehiriel · 02-25-2003, 01:40 PM

I tried several different versions of my name. You know, include my middle name, just middle initial, no middle name, my maiden name, my first married last name...etc. Well, I didn't care for what I was getting with the Elf names. So I started putting in different words. Finally I put in "White Elf" and I got Airehiriel. I thought it had a nice ring to it, so there you have it.

I hate when this happens to me. I hate it worse than screaming children and that's saying a lot.

My first name is "Monyca", but I go by Lynn or Lynne (the latter of which is the true spelling for my middle name) now, due to some problems in middle school. Only close friends and family call me by my first name.

Eressië Ailin · 02-25-2003, 04:59 PM

That's really freaky... becuase my middle name is Lynn... I'm not kidding!!!

So you're Monyca Lynne

I love reading how everyone picked their nicknames. I wanted an elf name as I have always loved stories about elves and fairies. My name is Sindarin for "Radiant Evening".

**The Saucepan Man** · 02-25-2003, 10:00 PM

Since there were already so many great names from or inspired by the books, I decided to go for something non-Tolkien, but still fantasy-related.

The Faraway Tree books by Enid Blyton had been my favourite books as a child pre-The Hobbit and, at the time I registered, I was reading them to my daughter, So, I chose the name of the character in them that appealed to me the most, the inimitable Saucepan Man.

It has since dawned on me that there is a vague LotR connection, with Sam and his pots and pans.

Nuinatariel · 02-28-2003, 04:56 PM

If you change your displayed name, do you go back to being Newly Deceased? I figured I could ask here, since this is about names. I just looked up what my name means, and it makes no sense. Nuinatariel- "Under of the father maiden". Evil name generator.

03-01-2003, 01:02 PM

I did choose "Troll" cause my favourtie characters are trolls!!
They are so brutal and good warriors!

Andephelien · 03-01-2003, 01:28 PM

Quote:

I wonder that also. Is there any way you can change it? My name, Andephelien means "Maiden of the Gate" or so. I want to chande it to something else. Andephelien is just what the name generator spit out. (Dumb thing) [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

You know, include my middle name, just middle initial, no middle name, my maiden name, my first married last name...etc. Well, I didn't care for what I was getting with the Elf names. So I started putting in different words. Finally I put in "White Elf" and I got Airehiriel. I thought it had a nice ring to it, so there you have it. __________________ Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty? Job 11:7

I wanted an elf name as I have always loved stories about elves and fairies. My name is Sindarin for "Radiant Evening". __________________ Risk everything, or gain nothing. -- Geoffrey De Charny, 1358 Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.

The Saucepan Man Corpus Cacophonous Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: A green and pleasant land Posts: 8,390	Since there were already so many great names from or inspired by the books, I decided to go for something non-Tolkien, but still fantasy-related. The Faraway Tree books by Enid Blyton had been my favourite books as a child pre-The Hobbit and, at the time I registered, I was reading them to my daughter, So, I chose the name of the character in them that appealed to me the most, the inimitable Saucepan Man. It has since dawned on me that there is a vague LotR connection, with Sam and his pots and pans. __________________ Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick. It's a very delicate state of mind!
