Seriously. MUCH more fun than thinking up new names for Turgon Ar-Feiniel.

Hmmm...I'm thinking house elf...or perhaps Christmas elf.

I'm Ireth Súrion.

Aren't you Pensive?

Posted by Katarain (Member # 6659) on :
I was Ireth, too.

Oh...silly me.
Valandil Anwamanë is my name. Now if only I could pronounce it.

I'm Angrod Silimaurë.
But if I put in "Flying Cow", I'm Celebrimbor Elendil.

Interestingly, puting my Elf name into the system yields not my actual name but Rúmil Sáralondë.

Keebler? Tolkien? D&D? New to the idea of fantasy creature naming conventions?
Either that, or a muggle. Probably a smarter than average muggle, but still underequipped for dealing with the fantasy world. You have experience, probably more than a few well-formed weapons, and you wield them reasonably well. But given that Hatrack (and the world) is not one-sided, you shouldn't be surprised at being accused of being a gnome, or even a troll. If you stand tall with pointy ears, stealthy skills and association with nature, you will inevitably be confronted for them. To quote Eddings, "I hate elves. I also hate dwarves, but elves garner a special hatred in my heart."
One of the greatest lessons Hatrack taught me is how extensive our racial biases are, how widely those races can differ between fantasy universes, and how completely incomprehensible some of those universes will have to remain.

Thank you. In my 7 years on Hatrack, I've created some good dobies, and some real stinkers. I think this is one of my better ones.
But I'm not going to tell you why.

Elfquest elves are really coneheaded aliens that decided to interbreed with wolves, except for those that didn't.
And don't even ask what some of the Blue Mountain elves decided to interbreed with. Posted by Jeesh (Member # 9163) on :

Those look rather like real Tolkien elvish names. My elvish is rusty, I'll have to go pull out my guide and see if I can't translate them. Mine was Elessar Culnámo. If I'm not mistaken, Elessar was Aragorn's elvish name.
*grabs elvish-english dictionary*
elessar = elfstone cul = golden-red namo = judge/ordainer
Hmm... elfstone golden-red judge... guess he just fed the elvish dictionary into a computer and uses some sorta point system to randomly generate names from the Quenya.

Amras Tulcakelumë or Aerandir Tulcakelumë depending on whether or not I shorten my first name.

You also have a hobbit name.

Tease.

Eáránë Nénharma
Now here's the weird thing. It is almost the same when I put in my real name AND Tante Shvester.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
On the Hobbit name generator, Tante Shvester translates to Polly Sandybanks, and my real name translates to Molly Sandybanks.
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
Your real name is Pante Esther, isn't it?

Yeah, it's something like that.
quote: the algorithm is simple. It takes the first and last letter of each name then, based on a character set, expresses those letters as a two-digit key which maps to the index of a particular Hobbit name.
It doesn't explicitly say that the elvish one works the same way, but it seems a safe bet.
