Well, Daniel, to be fair, my full name is
Stacey Nadine Uffelman.
My parents made up the "Nadine" by putting together the names of my two grandmothers,
"Nancy" and "Augustine".
As far as meanings:Augustine="The exalted, sacred, or sublime."
Nancy="Grace."
Nadine="Hope."
Yike. "The exalted, sacred, or sublime."???
That sounds pretentious....

Thank you, Daniel, I do, too. I always found it kind of interesting how my parents decided to come up with that.

Yeah, names can be very interesting. My eldest sister decided my first name, and now that she is pregnant, I want to decide her child's name. But she won't let me. Probably scared that I'll call him John Ronald Reuel or Aragorn.

Samwise
It could be worse. You could tell her you wanted to name the little one Smeagol...or "better" yet, Gollum.

What about Morgoth? Seems fitting, or what?

Samwise
Ai! Now I wouldn't curse a little one with that...
this is going to be your neice or nephew, correct? Would you want to call it "Morgoth"?

So...if you had the opportunity to name (a) child(ren) after something "Tolkienish", which names would you choose? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Nevfeniel · 07-08-2002, 10:48 PM

I like the name Elanor. It's so pretty to listen to. I also like Éowyn, but I think she might get picked on if I name her that. Same thing with Éomer, Frodo, Bilbo, Merry, or Pippin. But Sam is a good name! Even if it is short for Samwise, which is definitely not that common of a name.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-08-2002, 11:00 PM

I'm definetly gonna name my child after a LotR name!!! I know, I'm crazy!

Well, I like Lothiriel, maybe that's a possibility. And Aradhel, very nice. Galadriel. Luthien, aw very nice. But seriously, I mean I don't want to make it too far fetched....I'm not sure yet. But I do like the name Ellisandra or Ella for short and that isn't Tolkien related.
Now for boys....
very hard now. Sam, good good. It isn't strange! Morgoth, POSSIBILITY! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
But Aragorn is nice, but naming a child that..? I don't know!

Nah...hey, I could see naming a boy Samwise. Sure, call him Sam, but why not? It's not all that strange. (I mean...Morgoth!?!?) No offense to the other Hobbits of the Fellowship, but...NO. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Gandalf? Heh...don't think so.
As to girls, hey, they were all pretty much named after flowers or jewels ('cept the Elves...can't see slapping "Galadriel" on a little girl...) [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Actually, I heard of someone naming their kid Eowyn. It's a pretty name, I like it. But if I were to choose a LOTR name for my kid, I'd most likely give it as a middle name. Luthien is a beautiful middle name I think. It flows off the tongue just nicely, ya? (Erm...ignore the 'ya' I'm starting to put at the end of sentences. I'm playing FFX...Wakka influence...) Ahem! But yes. Can't see naming a kid Bilbo...wierd name now a days, don't ya think? Besides, weren't bilboes like, some sort of shackle and chain in Shakespeare's time?? Frodo too, is kind of wierd. Faramir is a nice middle name for a boy. Samwise Faramir ______. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Has a nice ring to it, ya? I'd think most would avoid the "evil [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] " names. Can't blame them either.

I just thought, if I named him/her Morgoth, then he/she had a destiny outlined.

"Breed Dragons, of course. They are far more effective than the useless orcs."

"Oh no, not again!! Mum, Manwë keeps annoying me!!"

ArwenBaggins · 07-09-2002, 08:08 AM

I dont know 'bout boy names, but Sam and even Pippin isnt too bad.

I like Rosie, Maya, and even Arwen as a girl name. But there are alot of Elvish names I could use as Middle Names. And I actually like Éowyn. Itz really pretty.

I can imagine it now:

A small child enters a classroom and gives the teacher a paper. The teacher stands up and says, "Children! We have a new addition to our class. Please welcome Morgoth."

Small child laughs evilly and his eyes dart across the room as the other kids laugh at his name.

Next day:

Small child says, "But Gothmog ate my homework!" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Samwise · 07-09-2002, 10:20 AM

Samwise Faramir--Mmm. I could live with that. Hum. By the time I were married, hopefully it would be to someone with a less--erm--"heavy" last name than mine...

Quote:

Suddenly he stopped as if listening. Frodo became aware that all was very quiet, inside and outside. Gandalf crept to one side of the window. Then with a dart he sprang to the sill, and thrust a long arm out and downwards. There was a squawk, and up came Sam Gamgee's curly head hauled by one ear.

Aosama, the Wandering Star · 07-09-2002, 11:51 AM

I like Laurelin (the golden tree thing) for a girl, and Peregrin or Faramir for a boy. I tend to lean more towards the romantic, middle-ages, knight-of-the-round-table type names. If I had an Eowyn, she could be called Wyn or Wynnie, and Laurelin could be Laurie or Lyn. The names of Tolkien's world are all so beautiful. But, my sister still thinks I'm crazy for planning to name a kid after a tree. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
But what about dragon names...

"Ancalagon! Stop roasting the forest, get in here and eat your supper!"

"Phew, Smaug, your breath stinks!"

They could incinerate pesky teachers, relatives, or siblings... and you could keep them occupied by asking them riddles.

Raefindel · 07-14-2002, 11:34 AM

Laurelin is beautiful, Aosama.

My kids are all named, and there'll be no more for me. 3 is enough! I do love my daughter's name. I know there are no J's in the Elven tongue, but I think it sounds Elven just the same. Her name is Jaden.

NazgulNumberTen · 07-14-2002, 11:44 AM

my kid, why nazgul number 11 ofcourse!
ok really, thorin would be my choice.
Bilbo: ewww it's too easy to make fun of
Merry: kinda sounds like a girl
Sam: well, i suffered for 9 years of school with someone named sam, who i belive is the most annoying person in the annals of time. I can't even begin to descibe him. My mind is forever scarred...

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-14-2002, 05:07 PM

Nazgul Number 11, aw how sweet [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Bilbo is definetly too easy to make fun of. And I like Laurelin, very nice! And Niphredil would be pretty. A bit weird, but pretty. And Nimrodel is really pretty too, but that's a bit strange.

NazgulNumberTen · 07-14-2002, 05:09 PM

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-14-2002, 05:13 PM

GHAN BURI GHAN! *cracks up laughing* Oh what a most beautiful and charming name! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Thinking again, and how about Namarie. Or Amarie. Hey, it's close enough to my name so I thought it was pretty normal.. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] It's not as elegant and pretty as the others though. What about Alatariel. That was Galadriel's name I think. One of them. It's pretty.

NazgulNumberTen · 07-14-2002, 05:14 PM

frodo. i always thought it was a dog's name. shame on me.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-14-2002, 05:17 PM

Frodo would be a good dog name. Sorry, I love Frodo, but it does sound like a dog's name! There's not many guy names that would be 'normal' enough. But most of us here aren't normal, so Aragorn sounds like a good name to me! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] And Turin maybe. Or Peregrin. There's a lot [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Samwise · 07-14-2002, 10:46 PM

Agh, I don't care. If it were a boy, I'd be stuck on Samwise. Hom. Samwise Peregrin...mmm...sounds a tad royal.

Girls....I don't think much about the "girls" in LOTR...Lorien is pretty. Mmmm....I lean toward Primrose, someone I've sort of become fond of... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. Primrose Lorien. Lorien Primrose....

Quote:

It was Sam who had insisted on choosing him, declaring that Bill (as he called him) would pine if he did not come.
"That animal can nearly talk," he said, "and would talk, if he stayed here much longer. He gave me a look as plain as Mr. Pippin could speak it: if you don't let me go with you, Sam, I'll follow on my own. "

Thinhyandoiel · 07-15-2002, 01:03 AM

Hey, naming kids after LOTR places! That's kinda nifty! If I had a girl, I just might name her Lothlorien. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Her friends can call Lorie if they want. Or, what about Eryn (Eryn Lasgalan)? It's the same as Erin, just spelt much nicer and is Elvish! ^.^

Mordor, now there's a wierd name for a boy, eh? "Mordor, what did I say about being a haven for evil death lords?" "Sorry mom."

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Rivendell wouldn't work, though, would it? Dang. How 'bout...Luin? Hmmm...Eryn Luin _____ Heheh, I just might use that!

Gorothlammothiel · 07-15-2002, 06:15 AM

Great Ideas, they are all such lovely names, but what if the child was to grow up disliking Tokien? (which of course is not down to the parents because they taught the child all about ME as they were growing up and the child even speaks Elvish as a second language [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

Personally i like Lorien for a girl and Luin

Nevfeniel · 07-15-2002, 06:39 AM

I think Aragorn sounds kinda like a cat name to me. Well, if I had a tomcat, I would name him Aragorn, if my brother would let me. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] "We have to agree on the name, so no LotR characters". Grr.

Amanaduial the archer · 07-15-2002, 06:47 AM

I think its kinda cruel to give a child a queer name from something which (and yes, im aware the next sentence could potentially crucify me) could just be a fad. Its like when Pokemon were dead popular, some couple actually named their kid Bulbasaur. Can you imagine growing up with a name like Bulbasaur Smith? I mean, come on.

Quote:

'cept the Elves...can't see slapping "Galadriel" on a little girl...

erm, actually i do have a friend called Galadriel, or Gilly for short. Theres also a book called The Great Gilly Hopkins (and no, my friends surname is not Hopkins, its Lizarbu)and the main character is called Galadriel.
There was a guy in my form teachers class a few years back called Peregrin, but as in the falcon. He was a gypsy tho and they all had cool names- his sister was called Star.
I guess a few of them wouldnt sound out of place- Bill for Bilbo, Sam for Samwise, or some like Luin or Eryn (would work for a girl to, its like Aeryn) which is dead pretty, but you could all to easily overdo it.
ArwenBaggins, Maya is a name, just spelt Maia. which is actually tolkienish enough- as in the maia and the istari

I do love my daughter's name. I know there are no J's in the Elven tongue, but I think it sounds Elven just the same. Her name is Jaden. __________________ Blessed be the Lord my Strength, Who trained my hands for war and my fingers to fight. Psallm 144:1

I can't even begin to descibe him. My mind is forever scarred... __________________ "It's not stupid, it's advanced!" -Invader Zim

And I like Laurelin, very nice! And Niphredil would be pretty. A bit weird, but pretty. And Nimrodel is really pretty too, but that's a bit strange. __________________ Si vanwa na Romello vanwa Valimar!~~ ~~Now lost, lost to those from the East is Valimar! My LotR page

[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Thinking again, and how about Namarie. Or Amarie. Hey, it's close enough to my name so I thought it was pretty normal.. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] It's not as elegant and pretty as the others though. What about Alatariel. That was Galadriel's name I think. One of them. It's pretty. __________________ Si vanwa na Romello vanwa Valimar!~~ ~~Now lost, lost to those from the East is Valimar! My LotR page

Lothiriel Silmarien Ghost Prince of Cardolan Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: New York Posts: 829	Frodo would be a good dog name. Sorry, I love Frodo, but it does sound like a dog's name! There's not many guy names that would be 'normal' enough. But most of us here aren't normal, so Aragorn sounds like a good name to me! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] And Turin maybe. Or Peregrin.

Thinhyandoiel Wight Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Canada Posts: 187	Hey, naming kids after LOTR places! That's kinda nifty! If I had a girl, I just might name her Lothlorien. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Her friends can call Lorie if they want. Or, what about Eryn (Eryn Lasgalan)? It's the same as Erin, just spelt much nicer and is Elvish! ^.^ Mordor, now there's a wierd name for a boy, eh? "Mordor, what did I say about being a haven for evil death lords?" "Sorry mom." [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Rivendell wouldn't work, though, would it? Dang. How 'bout...Luin? Hmmm...Eryn Luin _____ Heheh, I just might use that! __________________ In gwidh ristennen, i fae narchannen I lach Anor ed ardhon gwannen Caled veleg, ethuiannen

(which of course is not down to the parents because they taught the child all about ME as they were growing up and the child even speaks Elvish as a second language [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) Personally i like Lorien for a girl and Luin

Well, if I had a tomcat, I would name him Aragorn, if my brother would let me. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] "We have to agree on the name, so no LotR characters".

If/when you get children name it after consecutive numbered nazguls...like 11, the next would be 12, and so on! (what sweet children they'd be.
