It is not the right answer. And you do not have the right theme.

But what other theme could possibly connect Turin and Niniel?

Copying it over.
???T???: French valley lingerie? No way! Mix it up for him. ???U???: A handle and the French one are in turmoil for her. ???R???: After an awful, unsung muddle, forty-nine will reveal her. NINIEL: She sounds like a silly one, the Spanish girl. FINWE: Spouse around a way for him.

I'm not telling you the answer!
I wanted to find a new theme, and a less obvious one.

Dual names maybe?
In which case, 3 would be Nienor, and 1 would be Turambar

Is forty-nine a roman numeral?

Re: Dual names
Good idea, but no. It would make far more sense to actually solve the clues.

Why don't you try it and see if it works?

It was actually someone else doing a dual names password - many, many pages ago now - that gave me the idea for couples passwords, and then all the family pairs I did too. But this isn't one of those kinds of themes/passwords.

Let's see. DIRE-E = DIR. In a muddle = IDR
Forty-nine = IL It gives us Idril.

Correct.

Handle is a knob and French for 'one' is UN or UNE......

Maybe a hint for #1......?
I've tried everything to solve it. Synonyms, French translations, everything, and nothing gives me a Tolkien character.

It's a pretty famous French valley.

Well, yes. Choose an item of it!

One of those is right, and that's all I'm saying for now.

I am assuming that the last character has an initial 'T'.

Theme: People in the same family. Turin and Nienor are great-grandchildren of Bregolas, brother of Barahir, father of Beren, who married Luthien.

They might.
Not Tar-Aldarion. Not members of the same family. How about Finwe?

Well, nothing fits. I've tried removing Loir (LOIRE-E) from the names of several characters I've found and I was left with things that don't fit each time......

Unless I leave 'Loire' intact and remove 'R' from bra instead.....

I did say only one of LOIRE and BRA was correct.
I will also add that the particular lingerie item is one that I would personally never wear. Even when I was younger and thinner. (Revoltingly unhygienic, in my opinion).

THORONGIL: French valley lingerie? No way! Mix it up for him.
LUTHIEN: A handle and the French one are in turmoil for her. IDRIL: After an awful, unsung muddle, forty-nine will reveal her. NINIEL: She sounds like a silly one, the Spanish girl. FINWE: Spouse around a way for him. THEME: Tolkien characters loved romantically by two people, not just one. Well done. Please go ahead and post the next password. I'm *hoping* I've just answered correctly in 'One thing in common,' and I want to put those names in there, unless you guess my theme before Huinesoron confirms yes or no. EDIT: I have! So the theme is now the current question in that thread. FURTHER EDIT: Now guessed in the other thread, so I will post it above too.

Okay, so here you are.
1. Ancient letter in the spin. A middle way, and she is revealed. 2. An admirer of spinning mineral, he is. Heh.
