💀Nazgul Names

[Barliman Butterbur]

Khamul is the only mentioned name. The other names are made up. Tolkien never named the othet Nazgul-'Witch-King' was just a title.

Wasn't there something about Manny, Moe and Jack... Curly, Moe and...oh, never mind.

There used to be a hilarious thread on this subject where RD and several others opined on it. . .but I don't see it even in the links. It was almost as funny as the Aragorn's Real Name thread. . .right back with links if I can get them.

First link.

I can't find the one about Aragorn's name (which we decided was probably Bob though I said he answered to "Hey, Handsome.")

 

[The Dark Marshal]

The names of the Nazgul are:
The Witch-King
Khamul the Easterling
The Dark Marshal
The Betrayer
The Shadow Lord
The Undying
The Dwimmerlaik
The Tainted
The Knight of Umbar

 

[Azrubêl]

The names of the Nazgul are:
The Witch-King
Khamul the Easterling
The Dark Marshal
The Betrayer
The Shadow Lord
The Undying
The Dwimmerlaik
The Tainted
The Knight of Umbar

This is not accurate, at all. Is this from a video game or something?

Azrubêl is right (and a number of others who were here before). This list is complete nonsense.

Only the Easterling Khamûl is mentioned by name, all others’ names are unknown. Even the true name of their leader, the Witch-King of Angmar, is not chronicled.

Moreover, "Dwimmerlaik" is a cry of defiance used by Eowyn during the battle on the Pelennor Fields (just before she defeated the Witch-King) and can impossibly be seen as a name.
