Aragorns real name?

Anamatar IV · Aug 22, 2002

Is it Ellesar, estel, or aragorn?

Grond · Aug 22, 2002

LOL..... they are all his real names. His given name was Aragorn son of Arathorn II. Heir of Isildur. He was prophesied to be the Elfstone, the renewer and was named Estel (which is hope in the tongue of his people) as an alias while he lived in Elrond's house at Imladris while he matured to manhood. He was also called Strider and that became the name of his house when he ascended to the throne of Gondor and Arnor. He was called King Aragorn Telcontar (which is Strider in the high tongue.) He was called other names by other peoples but he was born as the child Aragorn.

Its not at all uncommon for people of High birth to have mutiple names. Look at Gandalf/Mithrander/Incanus. Or, for a more modern example. When King Edward abducated, it was his brother Duke Albert who became King George.

Funny lot that

Anamatar IV · Aug 24, 2002

if i met him in person i wouldnt know what to call him. "Greetings aragorn, estel, elessar, elfstone, strider, Telcontar, strider, wingfoot, and umm... have i forgotten any?"

HLGStrider · Aug 25, 2002

Thoronguil.
In Gondor.

Gildor the Elf · Aug 25, 2002

His name is King Elessar Telcontar.

Anamatar IV · Aug 25, 2002

itss all too confusing. If ur gonna change your name at least get rid of the old one. Like gollum tossed smeagol. Aragorn has like 10 at a time.

HLGStrider · Aug 25, 2002

To quote the cop in the Man Who Knew Too Little (A Brittish cop with a great accent)... "I always wanted to do that..."

A different name for whoever you met.

It confused me a bit at first, but it helps in poetry because he has a name to rhyme with everything!!!

Legolas · Aug 26, 2002

i got it!how about...''the guy at the back of the bar''?

DGoeij · Aug 26, 2002

I thinks that's how he's called in Ghân-buri-Ghân's language.

Oh, and Elgee, I'm pretty sure that should be Thorongil.

Lantarion · Aug 26, 2002

Hey, I was gonna do the nitpicking!! Hmph.

Maybe I should just list them all, to avoid confusion(NOTE: no particular order):

Aragorn
Elessar/Elfstone
Estel
Telcontar
Thorongil
Strider
Longshanks
Dúnadan
Isildur's Heir

..and perhaps more I can't come up with right now

Grond · Aug 26, 2002

I have it from a highly informed source that Aragorn's real name is Ralph.

Lantarion · Aug 26, 2002

Really? I heard he changed it when Butterbur joked about his real name (Trevor) once too often.. Sensitive chap, this Strider..

Anamatar IV · Aug 26, 2002

dont forget eomer named him wingfoot.

HLGStrider · Aug 26, 2002

Hey, Big D... Misspelling Tolkien names is my job. I'll never forget the Isulder show down... With Ourwen... Fraudo... Souran... Gandallf...

Lantarion · Aug 27, 2002

*gnaws the table, and tries to keep his left eye from popping out*
Gah, Elgee, you are a bane to nitpickers!

HLGStrider · Aug 27, 2002

You think I only torture nitpickers???
