Naming your kids after LOTR characters - Page 18

Elvellyn · 03-17-2003, 10:21 PM

I dont think there is anything wrong with giving your kids ME names. But I think if you do, you should make it a name that isnt too "out there". (ie Tar-Alcalime)

What a name!

Lalaith · 03-19-2003, 02:52 PM

Why didn't I notice this thread earlier. I'd love to give my children ME-names. Lalaith (Nienor, Niniel) would be cool. But I'm searching for a cool name for a boy.

1. Yeah, there isn't really something wrong. That way you can be sure that your child is the only one with this name.
2. Not to "out there" - yes.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-19-2003, 03:21 PM

Yeah, the girls got all the good Ardan names...

Rian would be good, too.

Eep! I passed 2000!

Such a SPAMMER!

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-19-2003, 03:42 PM

Well, that means you can choose a custom title!

Elvellyn · 03-20-2003, 12:13 AM

Please allow me to quote one of my posts from the "A few ways to tell if youre obsessed with LotR" thread

Still thinking of the right one. It has to be perfect.

Funny, Elvellyn.

.

I doubt that. I mean how you seen how many people there are on this site? And think of all the other fans there are out there!

Lalaith · 03-21-2003, 09:38 AM

I think in Austria my child would be the only named Lalaith or whatever.

Elvedans · 03-21-2003, 04:48 PM

My kids are gonna have about fifty names each because i want no more than two kids and there are so many names i wanna use!!!

Just like mine.
I thought about calling them Nenya, Narya and Vilya as nicknames. As babies.

Silverleaf · 03-21-2003, 06:25 PM

I'm not old enough either. But that doesn't matter to me. I can make plans now and see what happens in future (I want to have children).

Yeah, my mum and I plan to have sheep and call them russish names (putin, gorbatschof, jelzin) first and then LotR names.

englishnerd · 03-24-2003, 11:48 PM

how about

aire--"holy"

aiwe--"small bird"

Amarie--feminine name derived from mara, good

Amaurea--"dawn", poetic word

Ancalima, "Most bright" or Calima, "bright"

Anna--"gift"

Aranel--"princess"

Arien--fem. name, from Aure, "sunlight"

Caita--"lie" as in "out of a grey land darkness lies"

Ca'le--"light"

Celume--"stream"

Cira--"sail"

Coirea--"living"

okay, I'm not going through the whole alphabet, but there's some of the coolest names for A-C, this is from a dictionary/glossary:

have fun!

englishnerd · 03-24-2003, 11:54 PM

Though this won't apply to me for a long time, I've considered the idea for sure. I've always thought Eowyn would be a really nice name. Tinuviel has a nice ring to it too... probably as a middle name though.

And you?

You know that is true Frodo... Bilbo... NOPE Eowen def.

Arien the Maia · 03-25-2003, 04:42 PM

If I have a daughter, I want to name her Arien Maia. I also like the name Yavanna...it's close enough to Yvonne that I don't think many people would notice.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-25-2003, 05:14 PM

Arien Maia? Nice sounding name.

I might have to steal that idea...

Ninquelote · 03-25-2003, 05:30 PM

I know that if I have a child, their name is going to start with the same letter as mine. And if I have more than one kid, their names are going to sound alike.

I don't know if I'm digging a hole for myself if I name my kids alike, or what. I still like the sound of "Henry, son of Hazel!" or "Hannah, daughter of Hazel!" Or whatnot.
