Do you see this: Altáriël of Dorthonion

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

I always wondered what your name was. I got used to thinking of you as "messed-up character lady". [Blushing]

Now I'll have to readjust. [Wink]

[Edit: meaning I've been reading too much Tolkien meself [Wink]

Yay for special characters in Tolkien-related names!

[Wink]

Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :

I was wondering. Now I can pronounce your name in my head [Smile]

^.~
I love this name so much. If I ever have a daughter, guess what name she'll have.
Any child of mine will get a Tolkien name from the Elvish name generator.
@.@ Am I not a freak?

Posted by Toretha (Member # 2233) on :

Well, at least you're not planning on naming your firstborn son Artemis like SOME people!

Posted by IvyGirl (Member # 6252) on :

Hey, how did you get your name fixed? Did you edit it or what? I've been trying to do that for forever because I don't capitalize the G in Ivygirl. Ever. I don't know why it does that in my signin name. *shrug* Maybe Farmgirl wrote it or something, not sure, but it's annoying.

*narrows eyes*

I liked the old way better.

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

Ditto. [Grumble]

Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :

This *is* the old way... I had been wondering why the name had been all funky for a while. The funky way was the new and weird way.

Congrats on getting your identity back!

Posted by Marek (Member # 5404) on :

cool name, i wonder how you say.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

"Any child of mine will get a Tolkien name from the Elvish name generator."

Please don't do this. It will backfire horribly and they'll spend their life wishing they were named something like "Susan."

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

Please, will you tell me where this Elvish name generator is?

And congrats on getting your name fixed!

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Here is the Name Generator

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

Gee, and all this time I thought the Chinese characters were supposed to be there. When I converted to Firefox I lost the Chinese and got boxes and stuff instead. I like this MUCH better!

Oh, and my elf name (with my maiden name used, I didn't like any of the others)is Enelya Táralóm =)

On my computer, it always said "Alt[box][Korean syllable] of Dorthonion". No offense, but I always just glossed over that name in my head, because frankly, I didn't want to try to pronounce it.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

See, Alt, now I can see that you're supposed to be a girl. When I mistook you for a boy, it was purely the fault of the screwed up characters. [Smile]

Posted by AvidReader (Member # 6007) on :

Gee, Alt, we must be realated. I got Idril of Dorthonion for mine. [Smile]

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

My long lost family!!!
Oh, and I insit on naming my children elvish or hobbit names(least likely) because I hate non original names that have been trampeled over so many years. The most common name for girls would be something like brittany or kimberly or stephanie.
Oh, and yes it was me that halted all activity in Hatrack! MUAHAHA!!!! [Evil]

Ivygrrl, I just went to the contact form and told them my problem and how my name was supposed to look like.

Do be aware, though, that the father of said children might want some say... [Wink]

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

oh yes. I know about htat, thats why he can name the sons, daughters are mine. I'll try to let them have my last name too, I'm so feminist!
I go with the Disney tradition, his daughters' husbands adopted the Disney last name to keep it alive.
