the guy who be short? Cool name!
Mithadan...tis a good name, but has anyone else read the Artifacts of Power Quartet? Mithadans name reminds me of Miathan, the baddie. Sorry Mith. Mind you, he was a very cool bad guy...

Yeah, I read the Faraway Tree books as a kid (I read a bit of one recently actually [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ). They are very good.
The best nick here has to be that of Tom Bombariffic. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I like it anyway. |

Gwaihir - I started when I saw that name, since it reminded me of the "Tom Terrific" cartoon from the old Captain Kangaroo shows. Coincidence? Hmmmmm, we wonders, precious.
That's going wayyyyy back. Wonder if Tom qualifies for the "Tolkien Coming-of-Age" Club. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |

The Faraway Tree! That's where I knew it from!
Come to think of it, now I should have just looked at your location and that would have given it away..

Definitely Burrahobbit. Not just because I like his name, but also because we are at the same forum for nearly three years now.
Go, burra, go!

I've been nominated? That's a bit of a surprise. For my part, I've always been fond of the nicknames "Amanaduial the archer" and "Marileangorifurnimaluim" (has anyone tried to work out what it means?). "Durelen", "Mr. Underhill" and our inestimable "Squatter of Amon Rudh" are also among my favorites. Of course, for sheer truthfulness "Nonesuch" can't be beaten.

Wow...somehow I missed this thread until now. Thank you for the nominations, Doug and Maril - I'm flattered [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].
I tend to like the names which are a little out of the way and whose meanings aren't immediately obvious ... which would be about 99% of the names here... LUSH: Because the word brings a whole host of images to mind at once, all of them vivid [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. MARILEANGORIFURNIMALUIM (did I spell that right?): Because it's so friggin' long, it MUST mean something deeply important. DOUG*PLATYPUS: Again, the reference is mysterious enough that there must be some heavy significance behind it. Doug, where does the platypus come from? THE SAUCEPAN MAN: Just because it sounds cool. BILL FERNY: As someone said before, just because it takes chutzpah to call yourself that. I'm still waiting to see someone sign up as "Slant-eyed Southerner". RAEFINDEL: For having to courage to make a personal coinage in Elvish. HERENISTARION: Just because it sounds cool. And quite a few more that are on the tip of my tongue (or fingers) but which I can't quite remember right now...

Did I see "Sauron999 member number 666" the other day. Yikes that is scary! Couldn't we have skipped over THAT member number?

Dang! I have a nomination, but I can't remember the name. Oh well. I like all the names mentioned. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Seriously, I don't have a favorite.

Found my nomination. Rec the Hedgehog. I thought that was an interesting name when I first saw it.

hey that was not done on purpose! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
of course, I don't mind having the member number 666 as Sauron999, but I didn'T even notice until someone told me. Nevertheless I think it's cool [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] With Balin999 I was Member Number 3 or 5, but it has somehow risen to 61 and the same was the case with burrahobbit. They changed the numbers for some reason. (for the mods, I think)

I have found a new nominee. Balrog Skwerl. Creative, and it has the word 'skwerl' in it. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I'd like to add a nomination if I may.
Lady Aerowen has always impressed me, though I have not encounted her on the forum for quite some time now. Now I don't know that the name was created before the release of the films (or even that the ramble that follows is in anyway significant), if it was then it is an odd coincidence that the Lady Aerowen should be a play on the lady Arwen, and that she was portrayed by a certain very famous rock stars daughter, no?

Hm, after your description, I'm not a beast (whew).
But you don't need to look like a beast, to be one. He he. Well, I guess I'm rather a nice person, so you don't need to be afraid of corresponding with someone who's mad, Hilde Bracegirdle.

You’re not planning on taking over the world and enslaving the free peoples are you? Some people would call that a mad idea, some wouldn’t. All kidding aside, you are right, beasts don’t always look beastly and some who look beastly are quite often very nice, (not that I know any with hooves of course).

How can you choose who has the best nick? There are so many great ones!
1. Anything but Arwen 2. burrahobbit 3. Lush And there are too many more to add. But I think the awards for the most unpronouncable nick go to Maril as well as the award for most syllables. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] However, I would like to nominate myself for the strangest spelling. Sadbh is a name, and is pronouncable, just very confusing. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Don't listen to me, I've gone insane. -Sadbh
