It's like trying to pronounce the ingredients in cigarettes, that name. Small wonder she got dubbed Maril.

Speaking of Bethberry...
Shouldn't it really be Bêthberry? Except we're all slackers and are far too lazy to get the little symbol in there...

Indeed. Either we memorize the ALT codes, we copy and paste, or we slack. Most of us slack. Otherwise I'd have the *insert ALT code I don't remember* in my own name in place of "e".
 Like I said... it's the thought that counts.

I'm terribly disappointed in my name and I fervently wish that I had chosen a name more suitable for a site full of intellectuals. But what're you going to do? *shrugs* As far as spelling goes, Orominuialwen gave me the second worst trouble, right after Marilea......*gives up* |

As for nicknames, I like "TGWBS" much more than "tgwbs" for some reason, even though the latter is technically more accurate. "Guy" just seems weird to me, as if I'm putting emphasis on being male or something. Last edited by the guy who be short; 08-09-2005 at 06:49 AM. Reason: Speeling - er, spelling. |

 I assumed it was a bit of punnery about The Gap and company logos. Throw in some thoughts that maybe Tolkien would harbour feelings about multinational sweatshops similar to the way he felt about mechanisation. Of course, if you are going to say that you had no intentions along those lines, well, there goes some play with words...

I was too lazy and at a complete lack of creativity when I chose my name. I was also about 13, so...I relied on the Barrow-Downs name generator. And I was even too lazy to put the accent on the u...it really should be Dûrelin...I think. I don't even remember now.
And my laziness still reins supreme...I don't even bother to try and spell Oriminiualwen...Orominiualwen...Orominuialwen... Oro or Oromin seems fine to me...

Marileangorifurnimaluim remains the biscuit-taker. I mean, come in, in that particular case...well, can you blame people for shortening it to Maril?!
Quote:
No, but my 'nickname' is really brought about really because people continually spelt my name wrong, incidentally - Amanduil or Amanaduil (ooh, closer but you still ain't quite got it. Thanks for playing.) became the most common variations. Four A's! Four! Why must you leave a few out?! *deep breaths*And I suppose after a while, Aman just...stuck. Rather like that extra sticky superglue when split in a very conspicuous place on your grandmother's armchair. For a while, Cuthalion did his very best to change it to Archer - which I much preferred - and hey, it caught on with all of, ooh, three people. Dangnabbit. And when I came to the Green Dragon with the character Aman, well... superglue it is then.

More on topic, I agree about ohtatyaro. I did just spell that right, yes? I hope? I dont' see him/her often enough to nail the name, unlike Orominuialwen who I had to send PMs to in WW5 and then assign a role to in WW6.

Should have gone with Rakein, Durelin. I miss calling you Rakey.
I'm guilty of spelling every name wrong. It's not because I don't know how to spell the name (though sometimes it is). Mostly, I just can't type. Aman's name is terrible for me to spell. I normally skip that third 'a'. And of course, I'm a slacker, and thus cannot, for the life of me, properly spell Bethberry's name correctly. Oh, and the missing accent is purposeful this time, to prove my slackerdom.

It isn't nice to type - much like my real name. But then, it looks wrong even when you spell it right. Hrm.And I was hardly imaginative choosing my name... *cough*barrowdownsnamegenerator*cough* Sometimes my own misspellings come about simply from skimping letters for undiscernible reasons - I mean, I managed to go through an entire RPG and only realised that I'd been spelling it's name right in the last few weeks. Ho hum.

Although I have been known to misspell piosenniel. I apparently like the name better with one 'e' replaced by an 'a'. I might try working on a defense that has to do with a great vowel shift in the elven languages. Spelling, after all, is an historic variable. I have a feeling that Orominuialwen will be one a tricksome one. The name that is.

Hluna...has a more Quenya edge to it, as opposed to the Sindarin sound of Lhuna. Maybe I should start using Hluna.

Yes, the problems with my name are what comes from using the BD name generator instead of thinking up a name on my own. Even I have had trouble with it, although moreso with pronunciation than spelling. I actually didn't learn how to pronounce it properly until I met David Salo and he was kind enough to show me how it should be said.

Another rather embarassing spelling-mistake: I actually just a few minutes ago noticed that Aman is Amanaduial the Archer, not Amanduial the Archer, which name made more sense to me... Oh no.
I also got my name from the bd name generator. I, fortunately, got an easy one to write and to pronounce...
