"Nar" is Sindarin for fire
"El" is Sindarin for Star. When translating, I got confused and put "Starshine" instead of "Starfire". Now I want to change it.

My name is derived from a bit of poetry type stuff I did a long time ago for my meager writing website. It goes like this, and it is copyrighted to me, so YOU CANT TAKE IT! (paranoia)
I am a star in my own universe, shining brightly, but when you put me next to everyone else, I look quite dim. Does anyone have any polish? The reason I have two r's is because when I went to put up my AIM name, Star Polish was already taken, and then I decided it looked pretty with two r's and have used it on nearly everything.

Figured I'd resurrect this so new users can add their names. It was on page 11.

Ooh, goody. I get to add my nick to the list.
After I saw the movie I started actually thinking about creating my own character in J.R.R. Tolkien's world. Therefore, since I loved hobbits and elves (and maybe thought Frodo could use a girlfriend, perhaps?) my imaginary character looked like a 4-foot-tall Elf. Since that was odd, I decided I'd make her a crossbreed: half-hobbit, half-elf. It had never been heard of before I believe, so I figured she'd be exiled and that would make her bitter and angry, and I wondered what people would call her then. So it hit me: Rogue. And she still looked like an Elf (especially from far away, which is the only way people survive if spotting her ) so the Men would call her Rogue Elf. For obvious reasons: not staying with her kind the Elves, and by legend killing those she comes across. I've long since made quite a few changes to her. And now she has a name the Elves call her: Rána Eressëa. Rána means "wanderer" and Eressëa means "lonely". Hence, "Lonely Wanderer". Yeah, that's about it for now.

Taking a name from an actual character didn't appeal to me. My obsession w/ tolkien lies in his ingenuity as a storyteller, and I randomly quote lines from the book that are not dialogue, but his narrative.
I also wasn't comfortable with an elvish name, b/c my personality is definately more hobbitish (ie small town girl). To tell the truth, I thought of none of this while I was registering. I only analyzed my choice as I was reading this thread. I think I liked the word b/c it is rather "star dust and Anne-of-Green-Gablesish" (to quote my sister)--kind of like my AIM screenname, and my email addy. (windypoplars)

Mine is obviously completely random, I found it in a cracker jack box.
Darth, why don't you explain your name?

I had two other user names, as Tater pointed out on my Happy Birthday post, but sorta forgot how to spell them. Now it's just Arian.

Mine is actually a long story, I'll try to make it short and clear. A friend and I started writing some fanfiction to impress each other with our Tolkienknowledge. We wrote each other english letters (to improve our English) using runes (to improve our runewriting off course ) We created each a character in Middle-Earth that were well, actually US in Middle-Earth. Mine was Eärniel. It was a simple name but it stuck immediatly. Since then I had a lot of fun with Eärniel from getting weird looks when saying Eärniel is my nickname to a teacher believing it to be a term of Physics and that I was using it to cheat on a exam

Part of my name is what I do. I added the beginning to sound more Tolkienish.

Basically - I think the Nazgul are the coolest evil creatures ever, and I am female.
So I am the nazgul Queen!!!

Nazgul Queen, you need an Avatar! I hope you don't mind as soon as I saw your name, an image popped in my head, so I made this.

Well, I looked all through Lord of the Rings to find a suitable nickname, and nothing came to me. I was looking for the actual name of the Lord of the Nazgûl, but apparently he doesn't have one. Khamûl is the second in command of the Nazgûl, and at one time controlled Dol Goldur (sp). I figured that it was pretty cool, so I used it.

well, mine is pretty simple: my fave character (at the time) was Luthien Tinuviel (i still love the name Tinuviel, it means nightingale), and by law, i am still (technically) a child. also, originally, i didn't realize that Luthien had had no female children (oops!), but that's ok. i kinda tried to cover that fact that i later discovered by claiming that it was either the above reason, or Tinuviel as a child. now you know...the rest of the story.

All the tolkien ones were taken when I was trying to sign on, so I stuck to my usual screen name "BeardofEvil" (after noticing that all the evil guys have beards). Unfortunately, it didn't work, and I couldn't post. So, I created another one, after the Pants game, which was the first thread that I wandered into. Hence, BeardofPants.
