Sorry chummer...I don't even have cable, much less Aussi cable.

The only 'soap' that I enjoyed was the sit-com "Soap"

***RÃan*** · 04-06-2005, 05:26 PM

I'll up the count of Tolkien-related names in this thread...

I wanted to choose some kind of Tolkien name since this is a Tolkien board, but I also wanted something short so it wouldn't go into some weird abbreviation, so I chose RÃ*an, which I thought sounded and looked pretty.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 04-07-2005, 11:44 AM

When I first started going to Tolkien boards, all the good character names were taken, but I didn't really want a character name because it just seemed like everybody had one. I wanted a name that suited me and yet was kind of book related. So I chose Sister Golden Hair. It is a song (Sister Golden Hair Surprise) by the band "America".

Last Child of Ungoliant · 04-07-2005, 11:48 AM

oh, so galadriel's not your sister then, SGH?

Are you crazy? That would make Finrod my brother!!!

Last Child of Ungoliant · 04-07-2005, 11:54 AM

well, we all know all about Rian's infatuation with her son

so maybe somewhere else on the 'moot...

***Tessar*** · 04-07-2005, 11:58 AM

Long road... long road.

I read the book "A Wrinkle in Time" when I was eleven or twelve. There's a method of traveling across time and space called a "Tessaract". It instantly became my favorite word, and I started using it as a screen name--only (horror of horrors!) OTHER PEOPLE LIKED IT TOO!

Oh no! What was our intrepid hero to do!?

He--ermmm... I stuck a 12 on the end, because that was how old I was. The only hitch came along when I turned 13. Since the Admin weren't too keen on changing the number at the end of my name every year, they suggested I get it changed to "Tess".

HAH!

So anyways, when I was almost 14, I finally requested that it just be changed to "Tessar".

Do you post a lot at SF-Fandom? Or was that PiL? Somewhere, there's a mod called Mr Bishop. I think.

I love A Wrinkle in Time Tessar! You rock. That also explains your avvie a bit...

***Fat middle*** · 04-07-2005, 06:12 PM

I have already told this story somewhere, but here it goes again:

The first board I ever visited was the Jedi Council. TPM had been released and everybody was speaking about midichlorians, so I decided I'd be "Fat midichlorian" there. I thought it was an amusing image that of a very, very big fat midichlorian typing on a computer

Some time later I started a Tolkien quiz there and bmilder posted in it a link to his new cool Tolkien board... When I was registering I thought that midichlorians wouldn't fit in Tolkien's world so I "shortened" it to middle (for Middle Earth and also because it made a nick even more absurd than the previous one

)

I ended up using the name for a username a couple times, and I also use different cat-like names like Kathryn or one time Katsumi. So basically Katya was my cat's name (it's dead now. >.< ).

I've been looking for this thread because I forgot to clear something up: This story is not true at all, and I just made it up. It was true what I said about using Kat- names though. It's because my middle name is Catherine (I used to spell is Kathrine).

Legolas! It's me, Pippin! I'm back! (

Anyways, I was wondering why your name changed. Slightly, albiet still changed.

I had just finished reading LotR, came here, AndÃºril wasn't taken, so I used it. Was originally Anduril. No real thought behind it.

Concerning tesseracts - L'Engle got the name from the four-dimensional equivalent of a cube or square. Thinking outside the box, if you will.

How did you get your user name RÃ¡na EressÃ«a?
