Wow, wasn't expecting that to be right! Erm, have a simple one

Rhyming is dangerous.

mormegil · 06-06-2006, 10:39 AM

Rimbaud

Perilous poet.

Kath · 06-06-2006, 10:52 AM

That's the one morm, take it away.

mormegil · 06-06-2006, 11:06 AM

Let's see how this one goes.

My pronunciation I keep secret.

Kath · 06-06-2006, 11:44 AM

OK I have two guesses. I want to say them now so I don't worry about being told they're wrong later

Bethberry or burrahobbit.

JennyHallu · 06-06-2006, 11:49 AM

paavo?

Orominuialwen · 06-06-2006, 12:43 PM

Davem? I remember there being some confusion about whether his name was pronounced dave-em or da-vem.

symestreem · 06-06-2006, 12:50 PM

Wow... Orominuialwen, you could be a candidate yourself! How do you say your name?

Orominuialwen · 06-06-2006, 12:56 PM

Or-oh-min-ooh-ee-AL-wen. At least that's how I say it, but my Quenya and Sindarin (it's sort of a mix of the two) pronunciation is notoriously bad.

mormegil · 06-06-2006, 01:00 PM

None of the above, sorry. She, yes it's a female, mentioned this specifically in a certain thread.

Kath · 06-06-2006, 01:13 PM

Fea?

mormegil · 06-07-2006, 02:38 PM

No and she's in the top 60 of total rep. That should narrow it down a bit.

Valier · 06-07-2006, 02:53 PM

Could it be Thinlomien?

Anguirel · 06-07-2006, 02:53 PM

Surely

Marileangorifurnimaluim

mormegil · 06-07-2006, 03:03 PM

None of the above, she has come and said that her pronunciation is a secret that perhaps she doesn't know for certain.

symestreem · 06-07-2006, 03:31 PM

Roa_Aoife?

mormegil · 06-07-2006, 03:39 PM

No but this person PMed me and guessed it was her correctly. She said she wouldn't post the answer but if she feels so inclined she may.

Kath · 06-07-2006, 04:16 PM

Roa?

Diamond18 · 06-07-2006, 05:06 PM

If I make take the liberty of two guesses:

Maeggaladiel

or

Amanaduial the archer

But I think it's Maeggaladiel....

Valier · 06-07-2006, 05:10 PM

I believe Maeggaladiel is a guy.

Glirdan · 06-07-2006, 05:15 PM

I'm inclined to guess Oromin, yet I don't think it's her...

mormegil · 06-07-2006, 05:22 PM

None of the above...let me narrow this down even further. Her rep has carried her into at least the top 30.

Glirdan · 06-07-2006, 05:26 PM

Then my next guess is Celuien.

Valier · 06-07-2006, 05:28 PM

How 'bout Diamond18?

mormegil · 06-07-2006, 05:58 PM

Nope though if you keep guessing you'll eventually be correct. I believe the thread where she stated this was the one about Fordim and the difficulty in spelling some fellow Downers names. However the conversation evolved into pronunciation. I haven't located the thread but it really should be that tough now.

Diamond18 · 06-07-2006, 06:01 PM

Meneltarmacil?

(But I thought Menel was a he?)

The only other one I can think of is Lalaith, though I have no trouble pronouncing her name....

Glirdan · 06-07-2006, 06:07 PM

Well, the only other ones I can think of would be Lalwendë or Esty, yet I don't find either of them overly difficult to pronounce.

mormegil · 06-07-2006, 06:34 PM

Menel is male so no and Glidan even though you guessed twice neither is correct.

Come on, it's really not that difficult.

mormegil · 06-07-2006, 06:39 PM

Found the thread and it wasn't the Fordim thread, sorry.

Diamond18 · 06-07-2006, 06:42 PM

Surely it's not Farael because he's a guy.

symestreem · 06-07-2006, 06:50 PM

There is one on the Fordim thread as well, Orominuialwen, but Glirdan already guessed her.

Is it Anguirel?

mormegil · 06-07-2006, 06:52 PM

No.

Ang is a male but this female shares something in common with him that very few others, if any, in the top 30 do.

symestreem · 06-07-2006, 06:59 PM

That's the second time I've done that tonight. Sorry, Anguirel.

Mithalwen?

Glirdan · 06-07-2006, 07:12 PM

Quote:

Mithalwen?

When you think about this one, it really does fit because there are many ways you could pronounce her name. As well, a thing they have in common is their none Avvatar's. So morm, what is your judgement before I give up entirely?

JennyHallu · 06-07-2006, 07:45 PM

I'm going to guess Celuien.

mormegil · 06-07-2006, 08:04 PM

Mithalwen is correct!

Thank you.

I've never seen so many double guesses

.

Are my clues too difficult or to vague?

symestreem · 06-07-2006, 08:13 PM

Too difficult to follow up, for me. I couldn't find the thread where she was unsure about the pronounciation of her name, even when I thought it was her. It was the avatar clue that gave it away.

He haunts Marx.
