Nimthîriel (White-faced)
Nim-theer-ee-ell

Hmm... not sure how I feel about being named "White-faced", but it certainly fits my skin color.

Under the Sindarin naming system, I'd actually be Kiel, Normiel or Esthiel (My mom's name is Kim, her mother was Norma, and my paternal grandmother was Esther). Since I was closer to my paternal grandmother, I'd opt for Esthiel, and I do go by that on a Sindarin forum.

According to the site though, I'd be Rhavaniel (Rah-VAH-nee-ell)...

Mae /ˈmaɛ/ or Mussë /ˈmus.sɛ/
Mickey's name in Swedish is Musse. xD

Rië... such a short name.

Mine is Suiauthon (soo-ee-ow-thon). Means "war-like." I was hoping for something a bit more elegant, but it suits me.

Welp...my name is spelled the same as I spell it. Soo..yeah.

Alatariel 09-28-2016 03:22 PM

My elvish name is Alatariel. I did this about 10+ years ago and the name stuck.. Now it's my OC's name and has been since I tried it lol.

It's also the name I go by on the internet xD

I always did wonder how elvish names came to be. Is it all made up or what?

Coda 11-14-2016 04:25 PM

Technically it's all made up, but Tolkien was a linguist and he put a ridiculous amount of effort into building the fictional languages used in his worlds. He developed the full grammar of each language, a substantial (but not comprehensive) vocabulary for each, and orthographies (writing systems) for not only each language but even for regional variations -- not rigidly consistent, but realistic in how it might have evolved across separated groups of people. He even included subtle derivations that would suggest that his fantasy languages might have been able to evolve from ancient real-world languages. A LOT of this stuff was found in Tolkien's notes instead of his published material.

Since then, fan groups have expanded on the vocabulary and extrapolated on the grammar, finding rules and patterns that are consistent with the examples spoken by the characters in the books in order to document things that Tolkien hadn't necessarily explicitly spelled out.

Paula (Small) is apparently Nibenwen(Nee-ben-wehn) which I really actually love! Surprised they have my name and not my sister's, as Delilah is I believe more common than mine.

Coda 11-15-2016 01:00 PM

In my experience, "Paula" is way more common than "Delilah."

That said, you can look stuff up based on what the names MEAN.

Tohopekaliga 11-15-2016 01:02 PM

I could live with the name "Cael," I suppose. :P

Konzern 11-15-2016 01:11 PM

I've never personally met another Paula, but man I can tell you stories about people asking how to spell Delilah. I'll have to look by meaning, then.

Bit of a mouthful if you ask me....
