names

I can't think of many boys's names that I like the sound of and wouldn't give the child funny looks. Excluding names like Tom or Bill of course. Girl's name there are some more: Idril Elwing Arwen Indis Miriel Aredhel

So Tolkien wrote his "trilogy" in actually six books, to be published as a single volume. But did these books have their own titles, or they were simply "Book 1 - 6"?

Máriessë! I am a learning amateur in Quenya (and in Tolkien's languages generally), and I greatly admire the flow and sound that they bear. I am working on a poetic narrative that will feature the appearance of an elder sky-being, unlike any other that appears in the story, and I would love to...

Hello fellow fellow fans of Tolkien. I am working on a book, for myself and family that is in the realm of Middle-earth. It will not be for sale its just something fun I am doing. It's about a Half-Orc and his family. He married a Half-elf "Sindarin". And found many sources for creating names...

Greetings all, I am writing a book, this is my forth, and this time I'm indulging in one of my all time favorite subjects, fantasy. In this case a Tolkienesque type fantasy with elves, dwarves (or dwarfs), orcs, etc. Most, but not all of his creatures, and adding a few not in his books. It...

Hello, It would mean a great deal to me if members could confirm that the attached picture correctly reads the names ‘Charlie’ and ‘Luka’ - and that both represent males. This will be my one and only ever tattoo and I wanted to ensure that it was right! Thank you Brig

Hi there, I'm new here. I'm trying to find a good name for a character I've created. It's supposed to be a female name that's got to do with forests. I would rather use Quenya than Sindarin. I know the basic rules (I think), but I'm confused. I think I saw "Tawariell" as in the daughter of...

Hello, I am getting a new puppy and am considering naming him Úlairi, Urulóki or Uruk. I would like his call name to tie into his registered name but am having a hard time coming up with something (call name and reg name must start with a U). Some examples would be, Reg name : Out of the Ashes /...

Hello. I am Spanish and I have some questions about the accurate translation of Spanish names. Could you tell me the sources you use? Attached some names: Rafael or Raphael (heb.: רפאל, "God has healed"): ¿Q. Eru(e)nvinyanto?¿Q. Eru(e)nesti(e)on?¿S. Eru(a)thae? Rocío (f. "dew"): ¿Q. Rossë?¿S...

Hello my friends Can you please help me translating names to Sindarin, or send me a trustful website who does it ? Most of those I found seemed like name generators and that's not what I want. Names are: Anna Julia Klaus/Nicholas John Mary Rita Peter Tatyana Ferdinand Sergio Thank you very much

Hello all, I have been chatting a bit with @Squint-eyed Southerner , and I have heard that the mods are considering making badges gifted for different reactions, or a general reaction score. I'm not completely sure if this will be totally doable, and I will have to get more info from them- but...

While reading the Hobbit to my second-to-youngest brother, I found it really interesting that while orcs, hobbits, elves, dwarves, etc. have creative names, the three trolls are named Bert, William and Tom - basic English names. Why do y'all think this is so, and is this significant?

Mae Govanen I just bought a silver (or mithril) convertible and I need help naming it I want it to be middle earth and lotr themed (Narnia themed is good to I guess) if you have any ideas please comment or comment what you named your car

There was a recent BBC radio 4 Great Lives programme on Tolkien. Not a great programme imo but there was an interesting point about Tolkien seeing Welsh words on coal trucks on a railway line that adjoined the childhood garden in Birmingham. These strange words (to him) piqued his interest. Link...

I'm a new member here, but I have found in the dusty corners of my files a Sindarin elf character entitled "Rûdhel". A bit of looking into the name reveals it is simply the word for "bald" with the suffix "-el" attached. I have no idea why that word was chosen except that I quite like the sound...

Hola, necesito ayuda con algunos nombres, para traducirlos al Quenya. Disculpe mi inglés, he usado el traductor de Google porque mi inglés no es muy bueno. Amélie - Significa "trabajador". En el trabajo Quenya sería "Móta-" y luego podría traducirse como Mótiel, Mótë o Mótallë ??? Lucia /...

I'm reading a book about the early history of Byzantium (intrigue, intrigue and more intrigue) and I came across the name Prince (later King) Gundobad of the Burgundians (or Suevians). In the absence of anything written by Tolkien on the place name Gundabad, how does one know whether this is...

It strikes me as curious that words 'hobbit' and 'balrog' (maybe others) are often off limits for use in works in other media, as they are protected by the Tolkien estate. So, for fantasy RPG games like Dungeons & Dragons, the words 'halfling' and 'balor' are used. It's curious because other...

Hi, I'm a new member here, and I was trying to find some name for my dragons in DC (Dragon Cave) in Sindarin, but I didn't know how to find a name with meaning in Sindarin. I am looking for some names in Sindarin, one of which has the meaning of female warrior, the other has the meaning of...

Hello, I would like some help naming a character who wields a mace and shield, a type of support figure. He blinds his foes with the help of the moonlight shining through his mace. Alas, grants his party vision. A name which portrays the light in dark or in unthinkable places. I thought...
