Well, if we're just going on sound alone (since I can't be bothered to look up the meanings of any of these names because I am lazy and D*MN proud of it), I've always liked (for girls) Nessa, or Luthien, and I LOVE Varda (don't know why...). Though, if we're going on meaning, I like Nenwen (Roughly 'Water Maiden') and Loslom (I'm guessing, from my Sil Appendix, roughly 'Snow Echo'? Please correct me with the proper meaning if I'm wrong). But, if I ever DID have kids (which I won't, the world's overpopulated as it is), I would like a girl to name Zephyr (synonomous with 'light wind' in English; the name of the West Wind in Angient Greek Mythology). I don't know why...

I named my computer Boromir because it is good... most of the time. The other times it's just plain RUINATION!!!!!
THEORETICAL names (I've sworn off guys): Girls: Celebrian, Undomiel, Eowyn, Ioreth, Luthien, Marigold Boys: Anarion, Beren, Damrod, Duinhir, Elladan Dogs: Nali, Faramir, Rumil, Frea, Targon, Theodred, Valandil, Vorondil, Grond Cats: Beruthiel (for obvious reasons), Tinuviel, Mauhur, Telchar, Thorin, Thranduil Horses: Arod, Hasufel, Firefoot, Roheryn, Shadowfax, Stybba (for the pony), Snowmane, Telcontar Birds: Landroval, Gwaihir, Bregalad, Thorondor, Thengel, Turin, Windfola, Algarend, Anor Snakes: Smaug, Nimrodel (for a particularly good looking snake), Scatha, Tharkun, Thrain, Thror, Ufthak (Yes, I do intend to have those pets.) The list goes ever on and on, Down the road from where it began...

As you can see, I don't hang out here muchly anymore. There's a good reason for this. Y'see, I've been hanging out at a different chatboard called Cardboardia. So far, I've been havin' a blast. Not that I don't love the TLA, but the magic of Entmoot is lost on me. So, as soon as TLA ends, so will my existance here, probably. Who knows though? I might stay. Highly unlikely however. This is a good bye in advance, then. Unless you want to join me and my group of friends at Cardboardia. Cheers! |

And as for a boys name...hmmm...I like...lots of things from Rohan: Eomer, Elfhelm, Hama...
'Snow Echo'...still love that meaning. Hmm. I named my computer Bob. How boring. *Sticks a new name tag on Bob the Computer* Thou art now...STRIDER! Or Estel. Or Elessar. Of Wingfoot. Or Aragorn. Or whatever. And I shalt call the printer...Beren! And the monitor is now...Eowyn! And the scanner is...Luthien! And Arwen is excluded because I don't like her!

Whether the world is overpopulated is a controversial subject, not agreed on even by the Wise -- do not believe everything you read. You could adopt them. Don't eliminate possibilities until you get there. |

Thanks! [Puts away soap box.]
And yeah, I think I'd burden it with nice name as well. But I don't think I'd go for existing characters. My friend is fluent in Quenya, and I'd just get her to come up with some cool name which has significant meaning for me.

Well, if I were to use an existing character's name, it would be one of the less well-known ones. And as much as I would like to name a hypothetical, adopted, child "Vingilot," I think they would most likely kill me for it

I'd like to have kids too whom I'd name after orcs. They'd sell well on the market whent they turn into full grown goats.

It makes it easier to sell kids/goats with names you can despise.

BoP: Oh, get back on that soapbox! You deserve it! *claps* Well said. I also am just too lazy to make such a great argument. Though it is fun to watch my grandmother sputter and say 'But what about my great-grandchildren?!" (As I am the Eldest grandchild in my stereotypical white family of Boring Traditional Values, and so everyone looks at me like I've grown an extra head when I say I don't want kids and instead want to be an artist, and then they immediatly try to make me change my mind...it gets a little boring).
I'd sell my kids...err...goats...if I had to
