names

Can aybody makes me clear if the names of the Ringwraiths are anywhere mentioned? In some books I have read it is written that the only name is mentioned is that of Khamul. In a book that I am reading now (Tolkien: The creature & legends of Middle-earth, by Manolis Parousis) says: "We know...

I like the sound of Elentari and Tintalle best. The Sindarin Elbereth is my least favourite.

[/font] Note 31 reads: "Only the personal names of individuals. The name of their race, and the names of their families, and of their mansions, they did not conceal." The Dwarves were extremely secretive with Khuzdul, their language. Yet, they were not wholly unwilling to teach it to those...

Hello, Not sure if this is the place for this but here goes... I have two cats with LOTR names, Strider and Gandalf. Soon I am getting a black, purebread doberman and I want to keep in the tradition of these Tolkien names. I was thinking of something a little more obscure (not something from...

Here is a list of personal names I would like to know the meaning of. They are taken from The History of the Lord of the Rings volumes (HoMe 6-9). I would also like to know what language (if any) each of them is. I thank you in advance. Amaldor Amareth Ammalas Arafain Aramir...

I've been trying to translate the orc names given in Lord of the Rings, based primarily on "The Etymologies" published in "The Lost Road". My efforts have yielded partial success. I produce them below for comment and assistance anyone can offer.:) Capitals refer to Quenyan primary stems...

Wondering if anyone else has read this v. informative work and what you think of it? IMO, it not only discusses a lot of interesting things about the names of place in LoTR and how they correlate with other languages.

I have been pondering this question since i read all the name s in the index of names in the similarion. I the noticed that they are nothing like the names in present days. Have we really evevolved so much that we think odd names are just to abnormal?

I was looking through a bunch of usernames, and decided to look to see how many totaly inactivee people we have. Wow We have hundreds of users here at TTF with 0 or 1 posts. And, a good handfull of these are great usernames like 'Elwë' 'King Thingol' 'Ulmo of Arda' and just other great...

I've seen a few threads like this on SPECIFIC names, but not in general... so let me know if there is already a thread like this. Anyway, I know that people often mispronounce names in LOTR, especially before they've seen the movie. Come on now, be honest, how did YOU say some of the names...

My brother is ship navigator, and on a recent trip across the Atlantic he noticed names from Middleearth on the maps. Alot of undersea mountain west of Ireland had names from Tolkiens universe: Rohan, Gondor, Fangorn, Eriador, Lorien and others... Now, the big discussion on the ship is...

I'm trying to think up a nickname for myself in Elvish that sounds cool and means something cool. What I have so far is: Angmir Anganor Anormir Celebanor Dagormir Suggestions anyone?:)

I find the names of the book forums very boring. Every Tolkien site I've ever been to has had the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and the Silmarillion as the names. So I'm suggesting having them be named after the most memorable line in the book: The Hobbit--In a hole in the ground there lived...

Riming names? Is it just me or does almast all the dwarfs that are kin or somithing have riming names?:confused:

Do they have any names? Excluding the Witch-King (and his AKA's). In the card game for LotR (Decipher version) they are called Úlairë Attëa, Úlairë Cantëa, etc. But that's just Second Nazgûl, 4th Nazgûl, etc. (in this example).

Why do you think that though Elvish names are rarely used for different people (i.e. there wont be another Gil-galad and there never was another Gil-galad) yet many names of Elvish people are names of Men? Fuindalas and Ecthelion are two that I can name off the top of my head. But why do you...

I came upon a forum thread where someone had found another SAURON in a Marvel publication here, blatantly nicking the name from Tolkien. I was just wondering if anyone else has discovered Tolkien names deliberately used in non-Tolkien settings. Bilbo's Burger Bar, maybe?

I had a question. Does Tolkien ever say anywhere in his books the names of the 9 former kings (or ringwraiths). Just wondering...
