I always have trouble thinking about nickname for this name - I have plenty for my real name, but "SS" is too Nazi and "sun" is too paternalistic

No, "Roo" is Kanga's kid. It's a huge difference I like "Ru" for Ruinel, but I await her decision on the matter ...

sun-star - "star" would be nice, but then it would be confused with Starr Polish... yes, "sun" just doesn't make it. sstar maybe? sunny?

And I agree with JD - I like the sound of "JD".

I prefer 'Rui' over 'Ru'... you pronounce it 'Roo-ey'

Ok, Ruinel, we await your decision -

Are "Ru" and/or "Rui" ok with your elfliness?

I've noticed not everyone can do those dots as easily as I can on my keyboard, so no, I don't mind. But calling me 'Ear' will not get my attention.

Minor difference. Perhaps we should just call her 'Roo'?

Don't think sstar is very good, still sounds a bit nazi-ish...how about sutar? Nah...

Edit: Oh, and it's Ru in Norway. So in one way I was correct (and it explains my mistake).

None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin

Well if it's not a drink, is it something you can eat? I'm sure I've tasted it before & it's a drink, well it was.
