The what does your name here mean thread....

Dúnedain · 01-12-2003, 11:36 PM

Well I searched and didn't find a thread like this so here it is

Basically, just state what your name that you registered as means, and why you chose it!

Dúnedain:

A term used in Middle-earth for the Men of Númenor and (especially) their descendants in Arnor and Gondor after the Downfall in II 3319. It's literal interpretation means, 'Men of the West' or 'Men of Westernesse'.

There is also the following;

Dúnedain of the South
The Gondorians

The descendants of the Exiles of Númenor who settled in the southern lands of Middle-earth, and founded the South-kingdom of Gondor. Their first independent King was Meneldil, the nephew of Isildur, whose line ruled over Gondor for more than two thousand years. Unlike their cousins in the North, the Dúnedain of the South maintained their realm even after the loss of its Kings, and it survived under the rule of the Stewards until the time of the War of the Ring, when the Kingship was restored.

and,

Dúnedain of the North
Descendants of the lords of Arnor

The remnant of the Exiles of Númenor in the northern lands of Middle-earth. They raised mighty realms and lost them during the Third Age, and for the millennium before the War of the Ring, they were a wandering people. Their leader, who took the title 'Chieftain', was the descendant of the ancient King, Isildur.

I chose this name, because it was a form of what I originally wanted, however it was taken. This name represents the greatness of Men to me in Middle Earth and through that I chose it.

I chose Giroth because it is the center of my book:it is the dragonking,the enemy and most vital character in my book at the same time......

But what does Beard of Pants mean?

Uh, the Flame of the West, the Sword Reforged...

You know, the red and white flame v2.00.

Beleg Strongbow · 01-13-2003, 02:05 PM

When was that, Anduril? I don't remember hearing about a sword being reforged anytime in the movies...

Blackboar · 01-13-2003, 03:14 PM

*Ahem*

Blackboar, my username, can mean may different things, it could mean Black Pig, but I don't like that version as I don't think of myself as a pig. It could also be a nickname, for a ranger, which is why I chose it, It could also mean Black Bore, which I don't like because I don't think of myself of boring.

*Looks up boar in the dictionary*

When it comes to pig it can mean two things, wild pig, or a male pig, I am not male so it ismore likely to be the wildpig.

But I Meant It To Be A NickName For A Ranger Of MiddleEarth!! So now you know !!

i am mad about elves, so therefore Elf.Freak (i couldn't be bothered to put a space inbetween Elf and Freak, so therefore a '.'!)

"Elf Girl" is about the fact that I am truly an Elf, but posing as a girl at the moment for purposes of the Valar.

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. 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 "Oh.
