Grey tree ..... not grey something maiden ..... happened to be my main RPG character at the moment I joined who was a silver-haired elf and to fit her char I wanted something mysterious and unobtrusive ..... as a change and contrast to earlier more flamboyant characters.... who were actually slightly obnoxious... which is closer to me - I won't say!

But, to be technical, Minas Morgul is called the City of the Dead because that's where the Nazgul rule, the actual meaning is the 'Tower of Dark Sorcery'. I actually chose the name because, at the time, I had a nazgirlish fixation with the Morgul-Lord....not my best idea, but I have grown rather attached to the name. Oh, and City of the Dead would be 'Ostgyrth'. Sorry again, I'm a PPC agent, if that's any explaination. I get a bit annoyed when people misinterpret elvish.

"Iris", besides being my favourite flower, is also the Greek goddess of rainbows, and I've always loved rainbows, since they are a symbol of hope and full of pretty colours besides. As for "Alantiel", I patched that together while listening to my FotR movie soundtrack, based on words I picked up from the Elvish in the Enya songs. Roughly translated, it means "fallen star". Some people think that sounds depressing, but I think it's all in how you look at it - I prefer to think of it as reflecting a star that has come down from the heavens to contribute its light to the earthly realm, rather than a star that has descended from its starting place and come to lower things. In any case, "Iris Alantiel" is from my pen name, myself being an aspiring writer.

Pyroclastic is a geologic term approximately meaning "volcanic rock fragments". Unfourtounatley, this name has been quite prophetic regarding my geology carreer among other things. Never think that names have no bearing on who we become.

Pyroclastic - my dad is a geologist, so when I saw your name I immediately had visions of various volcanoes erupting in spectacular fashion (specifically, Mt. St. Helens and Pinatubo). I love you now.

Well thank you Latchwen, I'm flattered. I really wanted to find something both geologic and LOTR realted, and I'm pleased with the result.

Terrifyingly nerdile as it is I chose my screen-name in homage to Apple Computer's Great High Poobah of software. Tragic I know.
Could be worse though. I very nearly went with Teleporno for sheer amusement value ![]() |

Welcome to the Downs, Avie! Your alternate possible name choice would have surprised a lot of people who haven't read HoME! I wonder what Tolkien would think if he realized the connotations of that name nowadays...

Thank you for your kind welcome. Happy to be here!
One indeed wonders if the good professor had been over-indulging in the pipeweed when he came up with that particular linguistic gem ![]() As you say though, words change their connotations over time. No doubt Prof T would revolve in his grave to think that his noble Elf creation now conjures up visions of....erm....certain specialist telecommunications services! ![]() ![]() |

Mine is just the randomly made-up name of a LOTR char on the Neopets RP board. Sad, I know, but I just like the name so much...

I half wonder if it even occured and maybe someone had to point it out to him ...surely if he noticed such things he wouldn't have called the Uruk/Orc in Cirith Ungol (not Gorbag) THAT.... but maybe it just meant a type of tobacco or a bird like a cormorant then........

I believe my name came from an Orcish variation of my actual name on the name generator, I'm not 100% sure that it's correct but I gave it a go anyway.

I've posted this somewhere else, but what the heck ...
When I first joined, I had just read the Faraway Tree books (by Endi Blyton) to my daughter. Since they had been my favourite books as a child until I read The Hobbit, I assumed the name (and occasionally the personality) of my favourite character from them. ![]()

I do know who Pallado is/was.
He was one of the Ithryn Luin (Blue Wizards). He and Alatar traveled to the Eastern lands and were never seen again. Curunir went with them also, but he returned to the western section of Middle-Earth alone. What happened to the twain is unknown, whether they perished, caught by the Dark Lord and taken into his service, or set up cults in the East. All that is known for sure is that only Mithrandir returned to Valinor. |

Carnimírië is Quenya for "red-jewelled." It was the name of one of Quickbeam's beloved rowan trees that was cut down by Saruman's orcs. I picked it for its sound without knowing what it meant when I contemplated what screenname to use should I ever join the Barrow Downs...

I am very lazy. I use the same screen name on whatever forum I'm on. It's the county of my birth and I've lived there for all my years.
Yes, it is the land of Essex Boy and Essex Girl. Oh, and to add I'm married to a Tracey....and she used to be a secretary.....and she's blonde....and she used to drink malibu and pineapple....(she's moved onto southern comfort now, but luckily she doesn't like my Jim Beam) But at least she's never owned a pair of stilletos, and I can't remember her dancing round a handbag whenever I was with her at Hollywood's nightclub. (apologies to the 99.99% of forum members who haven't got a clue what I'm going on about, but that's normal anyway...) PS The only tenuous link to Essex I can garner for Lord of the Rings is that one of our towns has roads named after the characters and places of lotr. ie rivendell, gandalf way etc. |
