My dad calls Frodo "Photo" which ticks me off
and my friends dad call Legolas the "Butterfly Nancing In The Snow"- I almost ate him alive when he said that. Then my sis calls Frodo "Alien-head" and can never tell Sauron and Saruman's names apart..her excuse: "They're both the bad guys, both after the ring, both after Frodo, and both have ugly creatures chaasing after Frodo...so there really is no difference" OF COURSE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE and my mom had a hard time remembering Aragorn's name for a while..... It's all frustrating!!!!

My dad watched Lord of the Rings for the first time last week and he was getting confused between Saruman and Gandalf and he kept calling the Hobbits "the little kids" or the "kids with the swords"
and he could only remember Arwen as "my hero's daughter" he recognised Sean Bean though and Viggo. It took a lot of explaining though and he said he remembered better with his names. so it's still "the kids" lol it was funny though! |

One of my friends keeps calling Gollum "the weird thing in the loin cloth"...hehe And then my cousin (who is 7), calls Legolas "the pretty girl elf", but I find that really funny Oh, and Aragorn has been dubbed: Argon Rargorn Gornarag Aragoog "the really hot guy I like"- my mother's name for him...at least thats her naem for him when my dads not there... and simply....."him" And Borimir is "the mean dead dude" to my family...I don't think they'll ever get it straight! They also confuse Eowyn for Arwen |

One of my friends called Aragorn Aragon. I was sooo bugged! And she pronouces Legolas wrong (which may be going too far on my part, but..). And then- this is the worst, the cardnal sin- she called Sam Samwise Gumgee. Gumgee!! *puts on Gollum voice* We wanted to wring her filthy little neck!

i cant stand it when someone not only forgets the actual name and calls them something else, but when someone actually wants to stick to that name after they've been corrected. be glad i've never told some of the lotr lovers i know about entmoot. you would'nt be able to stand it.

Fredo- as I was reading this thread I thought the same thing. I read Dúnedain's post and thought it was too old to quote now. Funny coincidence that you did, Lotesse.

Ever since I saw those fake FotR subtitles, I've been talking about hoppits.
I don't see how this has anything to do with this thread. But then again, I didn't read from the beginning, and I am all my friends anyway. Well.....most of them. |

I usually don't talk to my friends about LotR, because they don't like it, and I don't want to hear people dissing LotR.
But when I do, these are what mistakes they make: Frodo = Frolo Gandalf = Gandy Saruman = Sauron Sauron = Saruman Aragorn = Argon Elrond = Eyebrows (even though that's pretty funny ) Legolas = Leglas I can't think of any more right now, but I'm sure there are tons more.

Calling Aragorn "Aragon" is pretty common. As a point of interest, Aragon is the name of a poet...Louis Aragon.
My older brother calls Dvorak "Dijorjak" which is incredibly annoying.

Just a couple of hours ago my mom referred to Sméagol as Schmirnoff. That's pretty bad...

It seems this is more appropriate for the General Message Thread, but I can't find anyone to move it.

Just read through this thread *laughing hysterically*
you see, that's why I don't even to try to talk about LoTR with people who aren't, well, as obsessed as me I don't want to get upset! btw, my personal favourite was a woman in theatre during FoTR. when Arwen/Liv Tyler came on screen first, she said "look! Liz Taylor!" oh my gosh...
