BDers Trivia - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Eressië Ailin · 04-28-2003, 09:55 AM

I don't think there are any other threads like this, but let me know if you find any. Here are the rules:

The person asking the question must ask a question about his/herself.

If you are asking the question, you must have posted the answer before on at least one other thread.

For example, a question that Mattius might ask would be:

On April 21, I posted a picture of myself. What did the shirt I was wearing say?

The answer would be:

BRITS DO IT BEST

Here's the first question:

What is my middle name?

Tell me if you need a hint!

Airehiriel · 04-28-2003, 10:21 PM

Holy Cow! This seems like it could be very tough! But a very good idea, I think.

Yes, how about a clue.

elven maiden Earwen · 04-28-2003, 10:26 PM

Is it Nicole?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-28-2003, 11:32 PM

Your first name's Monica [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I think...

Eressië Ailin · 04-29-2003, 07:03 AM

Yep, you got the first name.

Here's a clue:

There is one other BDer with the same first and middle name as mine, both with different spellings.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-29-2003, 12:44 PM

Quote:

That's really freaky... becuase my middle name is Lynn... I'm not kidding!!!
So you're Monyca Lynne
And I'm Monica Lynn

*triumphant* it's Lynn [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia

Eressië Ailin · 04-29-2003, 02:59 PM

You got it! Your turn, Sophia.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-29-2003, 05:34 PM

How old am I? approximately...

elven maiden Earwen · 04-29-2003, 06:23 PM

20ish I think 22?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-29-2003, 07:21 PM

since I usually say 20ish, I'd say you're exactly right Earwen (though I'm 20, not 22)

Sophia

elven maiden Earwen · 04-30-2003, 09:58 PM

who ****ed me off in ME mayham?

Eressië Ailin · 04-30-2003, 11:28 PM

One Axe to Rule Them All?

elven maiden Earwen · 05-01-2003, 05:40 PM

correct (Sharku isnt evil) [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eressië Ailin · 05-05-2003, 10:43 AM

This one may be a little harder, but here it goes:

What name did the Barrow-Downs Name Generator give me, and what does it mean?

the phantom · 05-05-2003, 12:43 PM

Well, I know you said this...

Quote:

At my school, we are reading The Hobbit right now. We are studying Quenya and Sindarin. Our teacher went to the Barrow-Downs to get our Elvish names!! However, I am totally opposed to the Name Generator, so this makes me mad!!! I'm trying to get it through to my teacher that the Name Generator only generates a name; she believes that it translates your name. BTW, in class, we have to call each other the names that the Name Generator gave us.

and this....

Quote:

Lucky you... My friend who has the same name as me, Monica, is in 2 of my classes. On my first day of school, in 1st period, my teacher asked me if I had a nickname. At the time, I was busy writing my latest RPG post. So the first thing that came out of my mouth was 'Mae'. In another class I'm known as Luin, another RPG character of mine.

and this....

Quote:

STUPID NAME GENERATOR!!!
yeah... I don't like the name generator...

Just in case there is some one here who doesn't know, the name generator doesn't translate your name into Elvish or any other language, it just generates a name, hence the name: The Name Generator.

My screen name is my first and middle name in Quenya. Eressië Ailin~ Lonely lake, more or less.

I don't think that's what you're looking for, though. I plugged in Monyca Lynne and the generator spit out Nufeniel, but I have no clue if that's what you're looking for either. Oh well.

[ May 05, 2003: Message edited by: the phantom ]

Eressië Ailin · 05-05-2003, 04:57 PM

Nope, that's not what I'm looking for... Do you know how to get to the Languages Forum? If you do, or even if you don't, that's where you'll find the answer.

And Monyca Lynne would be Rynoah's name, and I'm looking for what you get if you put in my first, middle, and last name in, and my translation of it.

[ May 05, 2003: Message edited by: Eressië Ailin ]

the phantom · 05-05-2003, 06:53 PM

It means blue pine tree.

It might have been something like Luinthon.

[ May 05, 2003: Message edited by: the phantom ]

Eressië Ailin · 05-05-2003, 07:36 PM

Yep, you got it! The name was Luinthondiel. Your go, phantom.

the phantom · 05-05-2003, 09:48 PM

All right then. Try this one...

What did I say the most "naughty" of Mr Clause's evil works was?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-05-2003, 11:18 PM

Quote:

quote from The Silmarilion
"But it is held true by the elves that Santa, who is named Nick, the great enemy of the world, took the Noldor that he had captured and through slow arts of torture, turned them into short, twisted creatures, living only to manufacture and produce toys. And this was deemed the most naughty act of all Santa's evil works."

Sounds more like the Silly-marillion to me [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia

the phantom · 05-06-2003, 08:13 AM

Correct.

And, by the way, that really is in the Silmarillion. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-09-2003, 02:12 PM

Alright, *rubs hands together*...

What was the name of the reporter from whom Sophia saved Maegaladiel at the Barrowdowns Birthday Party?

Sophia

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-09-2003, 05:23 PM

That'll be Sunny Day of the Middle Earth Times.

Great party, though. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 05-09-2003, 05:24 PM

Hmm...would that be Miss Sunny Day?

EDIT: Rats, you're too fast for me Saucepan!

[ May 09, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-09-2003, 10:56 PM

Correct as usual, King Friday... I mean, Mr. Saucepan.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-12-2003, 06:50 PM

Quote:

King Friday

...?

What was my first avatar, and what was it jokingly likened to?

elven maiden Earwen · 05-12-2003, 06:58 PM

lava lamp called the cloged toliet(however you spell it) i belive. spend to much time in avatar like threads

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-12-2003, 07:26 PM

Wow! 8 minutes, maiden of the elves!

Well done, you are correct. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 05-12-2003, 07:28 PM

thank you.
Can anyone post a link to the pic i want as an avatar?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-12-2003, 08:24 PM

Very off topic, but Saucepan-

Quote:

King Friday...?

King Friday was the puppet King on a kids TV show (Mr Rogers' Neighborhood) when I was little. The people on the show always said "Correct as usual King Friday!" [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] The queen was Queen Sara Saturday and I always liked it cause my real first name is Sara.

Sophia

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-24-2003, 04:17 PM

I've looked and looked for the link to Earwens picture and not found anything, so since I like this thread and it's been more than 10 days since anyone's posted, I'll ask a new one.

Who do I plan to meet in Bree for a meal and a drink?

alaklondewen · 05-24-2003, 05:06 PM

Ooh, ooh...pick me! *raises hand and fidgets on the edge of her seat*

Could it be....Alaklondewen? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-24-2003, 05:10 PM

LOL! The answer I was looking for was "Alaklondedillo", but I suppose I can take Alaklondewen [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. Your go!

Sophia

alaklondewen · 05-24-2003, 09:47 PM

Sophia, Alaklondedillo lived and died at Tom Bombadil's house. I'm sure she wouldn't dare show her face in Bree. Maybe on our trip back home [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What is the name of the little town where I live?

[ May 24, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

elven maiden Earwen · 05-29-2003, 08:17 PM

hmmm. I'm lost can we have a hint?

alaklondewen · 05-29-2003, 08:41 PM

Okay, I posted it on a duplicate thread that was started in the wrong forum where it would have been appropriate to talk about where I live. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-06-2003, 11:15 AM

Well, alak, I know that you are in Indiana, but that's all I've been able to find ... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 06-06-2003, 05:10 PM

Well, I must apologize...I posted the name of the little town where I live on a 'Where are you from?' thread in N/N and it was closed. I just searched for it, and it has obviously been deleted. I'm sorry...I didn't realize when I asked the question.

Saucepan Man, since I do indeed live in Indiana...the floor is now yours. Cheers.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-07-2003, 08:09 PM

Thank you, alak. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

How old is my daughter?

alaklondewen · 06-07-2003, 09:08 PM

She's 5 is she not. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
