My real name is Laura, but I don't like it much for me. Sorry to folk's who do like it- it's pretty, but sometimes it just doesn't suit me. But anyway, it's derived from the name of the laurel plant, and I'm really into plants. And I like names w/ y in the spelling, so I turned all that into Laurelyn. It's the alias I use for my writing when I use myself as a character, and my usernames for things are usually Sterling Silver or Laurelyn. I picked Laurelyn this time around b/c in the Silmarillion one of the two trees of Valinor is named Laurelin (pure coincidence) and as this is a Tolkien site . . . There, I have told you more than you ever wanted to know about my username.

Sakata Trueshot is my character on the online rpg EverQuest, I made the name up myself so I can use it pretty much everywhere on the net and it is not taken. I have been using it so long, I have actually gotten snail mail addressed to Sakata Trueshot!

My name is a bit more complex than some of your names.
You see, my name is actually a shortened version of ryan6233, which consists of ryan (my name) + 6 (lucky number) + 233 (the price a grenade sells for in a game i was playing at the time). 6233 is also the number of times our president has mispronounced the word "terror".

I thought that it was a pretty name, and it had a tragic backstory to it, like I'm an elf who had a river named after me and my lover waited for me on a ship for ages because I was tarrying in the mountains, but then he jumped ship trying to get back to me and was lost forever more. It was a name that wasn't easily identifiable, only fans would get it. But now I'm sorta regretting it, I mean it's too close to NIMROD for comfort, but what can I do?

Mine comes of the inscription on Sting. "Maengus is my name, I am the Spiders bane."

Let's see...Anthy came from the anime (japanese animation) Shoujo Kakumei Utena. I like the name, think it's pretty. I added the Rose when in college my friends wanted me to play D&D with them. Anthy Rose the elven assassin. ^^;;;

I figured as I'm a fairly new board member that all the LOTR related names would have gone so I chose Talera. Talera is the name of a character in The Wars of Light and Shadows by Janny Wurts. She gives the meaning as Branch or Fork in a Path. It doesn't have any relevance to me as a person and I don't identify with the character. I guess basically I just liked the name!

I wanted to be Elanor as it's (close enough) my real name - as well as being Sam's beautiful baby! - but sun-star is what it means, and it sounds ok.

Well, my real name is Megan. And Megan means "Pearl" and in Quenya Pearl translates into "Marilla" and you would have to replace the "a" at the end of it with a "e" to make it a feminine name and you get Marille.

<----- I don't know why on Earth I chose "Athelas". I think I was reading the part on Aragorn at the houses of healing that day, and he was using athelas to heal the injured, so I guess it just popped up in my head.
Coming to think of it, I wish I had chosen a nicer name. Never mind though...

<--- I'm not really sure. It just came to me when signing up here. I suspect it means I need to get out in the sun more.
