If you owned your own magic sword in Middle Earth,what would you call it ?
If you were in possession of your own special magic sword in the Middle
Earth universe, what creatively witty, cool (serious or humorous) name/s would you give it, if you had to ? It can't be Excalibur, or any names already in use in The Hobbit and LOTR trilogy books, but it's fine if any name is taken from another fantasy world you greatly admire. |

I'll claim Rhindon - the sword of High King Peter of Narnia.

Moved to Middle-earth forum.
I've always quite liked Caliburn, which is the far lesser known latinised name of the sword later known as Excalibur. Another one I've always been partial to is Tyrfing, the magical sword featuring in the Hervarar-saga (I think from the Edda). Impervious to rust, and able to cut through pretty much anything, but cursed by its makers to kill everytime it is drawn. I've named my cat after it, because I liked the name so much. (And his nails are quite sharp.)

It shall be a longsword.
I shall name it, Nostril.

I would name mine Head Voice, and have a shield named Chest Voice, BECAUSE WHEN USED PROPERLY IT WOULD BE LIKE A SINGLE ENTITY, but used improperly it would be obvious they were two separate parts! Hahahaha.... musical-lameness...
 But for reals... I forget, but I think I used to imagine I would have the "Sword of Trees"... and I believe I figured out how that would be said, too... but I can't remember it any more. |

Then by that way of thinking, mine would be a swift little short sword named Fioritura  Now i'd just need to translate that into Elvish ...

Quite truthfully, I'd probably end up naming it "sword", but that's the kind of guy I am!
