LOTR-names

Sir Exxon · 12-08-2001, 10:06 AM

With all these Lord of the Ring-talks lately, I have started to observe the names on the different characters.
And I have found out that there are two here on IW who has taken one of their names; Legolas and Aragorn.
Does anybody know of any more?

see ya!

No, but I'm considering changing my name to Elron (wise) or Boromir (as dumb as it can get). I haven't decided which one suits me better yet!

You are aware that you can't change your name anymore, Ryanamur

Just checking..
And as for the LOTR names, I think there's a newbie called Gandalf..
I might be wrong though [img]smile.gif[/img]

There are lots. Gil-Galad, Mithrandir, Galadria (sort of), Sauron, Thorin Oakenshield, Isildur Elendil, I just can't remember the rest but I know I've seen them. Awesome names, though.

Legolas · 12-08-2001, 03:36 PM

Yes, Tolkien sure knew how to pick them [img]smile.gif[/img]

There is a collection of striders and aragorns here, I think. Though a good deal are no longer active.

I have yet to find my dwarven friend Gimli though.

It would be great if someone called Gimli joined and you two were made great friends.

I've just read the Silmarillion (by tolkien), it has so many great names in it!

Oh yes I can, all I have to do is to change my IP [img]smile.gif[/img] ... but I won't do that, Ryanamur sounds Rohirrim enough for me. That's where the name's from (me playing MERP a long, long time ago [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Strider is also a name from Tolkien, I believe... (Aragorn before people knew he was Aragorn, in the Fellowship of the Ring, I think).

I have just read the book "Shannaras sword" by Terry Brooks. A very good book, but not Tolkien-good. There are also many great names there.
But one thing that surprises me, is that none have registered as Bilbo, or Frodo.

see ya!
