My name doesn't exist, male or female version.

What does your name mean? Maybe one of us can help you find something equivalent. That's what I had to do for "Coda" -- obviously it's not on the list anywhere but I found a name meaning "end" and that's certainly what a coda is in music.

Well I just found out my daughter's name would be Saerwen Tirananniel. And mine is Yáviel Manwathiel. Oh, and our family name would be Baramaethor. That's a bit like Baratheon, maybe we should try for the Iron Throne!

Mine is Erurainon because apparently Sean is simply the Irish variant of the name John. I had no idea!

Gaius isn't on the list and I couldn't find anything like it, but it means "to rejoice" and Joy is Alassiel, so I suppose it would be something like Alasson?

My full name is not on the list so I looked up the name everyone actually calls me

Caladhiel
(Kah-lah-thee-ell)

it means light! I feel like that is really sweet <3

also my oc's name is caldazar and it sounds similar!

Glitch, your sig is weirdly hypnotic.

Yes, Sakamoto-kun is 100% hypnotic and amazing <3

Eh, I was just going by my actual name...which doesn't really have any kind of meaning XD

Except short for a boy's name pretty much >-<

Well, what does the boy's name mean?

The boy's version is Robert. (Well, the non-shortened version)

"Robert" means "fame" (rob) + "bright" (bert). Etymologically it could also be related to "glory."

"Roberta" is on the list as "Calminaiel." I'm a little dubious of the derivation, but it works if you're not trying to push your way into a die-hard Tolkien convention. (It says it means "bright distinction" but the structure of the word sounds more like "distinctive light".)

The other site lists "Alcarcalime" as the translation of "Roberta", breaking it down into "alcar" glory/brilliance and "calima" light and then inflecting it as a feminine name.

I'd go for "Alcare" if your name is derived from the "rob" part of "Robert". If it's derived from the "bert" part, there's a whole bunch of possible choices you could go for -- stuff derived from "light" (Calie, Calme, Calde, Calien, Calmea, Caldea) or "bright" (Calima, Calime, Calimie) would all be appropriate.

If you like the "glory" way of going about it, "Gloria" is "Aglariel" on one list and "Alcare" (pronounced "al-CAH-ray" if I'm not mistaken) on the other.

Well my biological name is Chiret pronounced sure-et. In Hebrew it means graceful charity. But I still can't find anything.

That's a little surprising given that "Charity" is a not-uncommon girls' name. But hitting up a dictionary, "Faile" or "Failie" would be the best feminine name I can find; it means "generosity".

EDIT: On the other hand, "Grace" is easily found as "Eruanna." If it matters to you, "eru" is similar to Hebrew "el" (both meaning "God"). I'm not 100% sure of a euphonic way to combine the two names, though... "Faileanna" perhaps would capture the full meaning of your name?

EDIT 2: Cross-checked another dictionary. "Eruanna" breaks down to "gift of God" so "Faileanna" would mean "gift of generosity" or possibly "generous gift" which is a pretty name in its own right but it rather significantly changes the meaning. "Manáfaile" or "Failalissë" are other options, meaning "generous grace (in the sense of a blessing)" and "sweetness (in the way that grace is sweet) of generosity" although I'm not 100% sure the latter is correctly inflected for a feminine name.

Less Bert more Rob XD

How does Elvish do a diminutive form? Is there information on this? XD (You know, like Bill instead of William XD)

Thanks for the answer :3

*looks it up* Diminutives are -lle for feminine and -llo for masculine. So maybe "Alcarelle"? That's four syllables, by the way, "al-CAH-re-lle" if I'm not mistaken.

Huh, that's interesting. The Elven forms of my given and chosen names (well, the closest one to it) are similar -- Váne(varyar), Váne being "beauty" or actually, "grace", and Varyar meaning "protector".
