I like Tigerlily Gamgee, it's got something about it...

All the "Tinuviel" names- gorgeous!

Everdawn 06-15-2003 01:34 AM

Mizu the Disco Llama

and

The saucepan man

Classic!

Meela 06-15-2003 02:40 PM

Mippin is the most adorable name I have ever heard!

QuickSlash 06-15-2003 04:26 PM

I like QuickSlash too.
Ach, thankee Horse-Maiden. Never expected to see my name here. ~_^

Lindolirian 06-17-2003 09:35 PM

<font color="orange">Frodo 007 just gives me a crazy mental image of Frodo in a tux trying to woo all the ladies. The name's Baggins... Frodo Baggins. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The Saucepan Man 06-20-2003 10:25 AM

Here's a great new one: dancing spawn of ungoliant .

Somehow, I find the mental image of one of Ungoliant's offspring dancing a little jig highly amusing. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lindril Arvilya 06-20-2003 01:44 PM

Oh, Saucepan Man, you beat me to it! Everytime I see the name dancing spawn of ungoliant I start giggling wildly.

Novnarwen 06-20-2003 01:51 PM

I think Trippo The Hippo is a winner!
The Saucepan Man is also great... I really like his picture... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Makes me laugh... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

*Nova* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Trippo The Hippo 06-20-2003 02:06 PM

Thank you Novnarwen. I agree with you The Sauce Pan Man's avatar is cool. I like when people have themes going.

Tarien Ithil 07-12-2003 05:12 AM

Yavanna has told me that we name means "Fruit". Lovely!

HerenIstarion 05-29-2004 02:50 AM

I like yours, Trippo the Hippo :) It is funny and quite original

Son of Númenor 05-29-2004 11:50 AM

I am surprised no one has mentioned davem; it has quite a subtle elegance to it when you say it out loud (unless it is meant to be pronounced "Dave M" - I'm not entirely sure).

On a slightly different note, I would like to nominate Tuor Turambar, Cursed by the Valar, for obvious reasons.

Firefoot 05-30-2004 04:53 AM

My favorite is purplefluffychainsaw. Makes me laugh every time I see it.

Sirithheruwen 05-31-2004 08:10 AM

*sighs* I just had to be SO original in picking my name. :rolleyes:

Well, I also nominate purplefluffychainsaw along with bombariffic (I love that!), and a new person here at the 'Downs, Ruler of the Frogs. I don't know why, but I just love that one. :D

Anything but Arwen and Oddwen are my honorable mentions. ;)

Ophelia 05-31-2004 03:32 PM

I will not stand out with much of originality but I shall tell my admire for the nicknames The Saucepan Man , Trippo the Hippo (sounds cute somehow :p ) , Lush (the black cat avvie fited this nick very good) and Bethberry .

Ophe

Saraphim 05-31-2004 08:09 PM

I like... hmmm...

mark12_30
the perky ent
Sirithheruwen
Trippo the Hippo
The Saucepan Man

Meh, there's more, but my brain is fried from the heat.

mark12_30 05-31-2004 08:19 PM

I secretly envy Mister Underhill his moniker and his erudition.

I find myself wondering where Heren Istarion came from (the name, not the man.)

Child of the Seventh Age strikes me as the most canonically clever of all nicks. Ever.

And for sheer mystery, Mithadan, whoever he really is. (Drat him.)

Others I wonder about often:

Orual
Sharku (that took guts, or a sense of irony, or both)
the various manifestations of Sauron (why?)
ditto the various Nazguls

Son of Númenor 05-31-2004 09:09 PM

"I find myself wondering where Heren Istarion came from (the name, not the man.)"

If you mean where in Middle-earth it came from in, I have your answer: it is the name of the order of the Istari. If you meant how H-I chose the name... well, he probably just chose it because it sounds cool. :smokin:

I envy the cleverness of The Squatter of Amon Rudh. The name is original & pleasant to say, & the icing on the cake is his location, 'Bar-en-Danwedh', which is synonymous with Amon Rudh while at the same time closely resembling the sound of 'Barrow-downs.' My hat is off.

HerenIstarion 06-01-2004 01:48 AM

HerenIstarion sounds cool...
 
There is a whole boiling soup of reasons. To quote myself from elsewhere:

Quote:

as per my [alas un]humble person, I beat you all. (yes, even you, burra) For I'm 5 persons at once, and it suits me well. I'm wise like 5 wizards, but only 1/5 of me is working properly, one 1/5 is careless, 2/5 are straying no one knows were, and 1/5 is treacherous. The case for medical study, somehow

I were Tar-Ancalime on BD forum for one day, for I liked her much, yet than it dawned onto me I was mistaken for a lady, which I'm not, and having tried to register as Olorin, which was already taken, I've decided to express my (than obvious, if now less so) schizophrenia into a nickname

here we are, with Order of Wizards all in my head
(It is to be mentioned that Gandalf is one of my favourites, besides Fatty Bolger, that is). But there is a load of Gandalfs around, and HerenIstarion of course, sounds cool, as indicated :D

BTW, there is a new Tar-Ancalime around BD now. Many cheers and kudos to her (that is, if she is not, in fact, he, as I was back in September 2000 for a day) I remember being welcomed by BW with words like 'she is scholarly type', that was funny. Now the same goes for new Tar-Ancalime too - she is scholarly type too, or so I figured :)

Another strange thing just noticed - whenever Mithadan's mystic pseudonym is discussed, I inevitably come out (withing proximity of three posts) with explanations concerning my own (look here) There are no chance meetings, eh? Probably one day Mith will crack up and give away the secret of his name. I crave to learn it, I do.

Five pointed hats in the air, they are!

Evisse the Blue 06-04-2004 08:17 AM

HI - do you seriously expect this forum to tolerate all your 5 different alter egos? As we all know, one of you is enough! :D Sticking to HI was ok though, it's got a fine ring to it. Nice pick!

well, I only read the last two pages, sorry, no time!
burrahobbit,Lush,Estelyn Telcontar, Squatter of Amon Rudhwere already mentioned...

Some new ones I like off the top of my head: The Perky Ent , Sleepy Ranger- cracked me up the first time I saw it :D; also I like the guy who would be short, and there was once someone (I haven't seen him for a while, though) whose nick was The Rip Designs Dude, and his hobbit name in the ME Name Generator was Pippin Took - how cool is that? Of course he boasted of it all over ME Mirth - or was it Novices and Newcomers?

But seriously now - Pink Viggo? :rolleyes: eh...

Does it really? Well, we live and learn. Actually I chose that location because it's where my Beleriandic alter-ego lives, but I'm always glad to get credit where none's due. :smokin:

I too like davem. It's kind of...oh...I just like it.
The Perky Ent is also a name I really love.
Eowyn Skywalker is also very cool.

Blah, there's more but I can't think of any anymore.

Tulkas the Mighty 06-07-2004 11:51 PM

You have a pretty interesting nick, Sirithheruwen. I like the double h. :D

Son of Númenor 06-09-2004 08:15 PM

Squatter, I am equally glad to give such undue credit, but you should have kept quiet about it being a coincidence. It would have made us both seem cleverer. ;)

Orominuialwen 06-12-2004 02:57 PM

Hmmm... I like:


purplefluffychainsaw
Morgul Queen
Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant
The Only Real Estel
the guy who be short
Elennar Starfire
The Saucepan Man
tom bombariffic
LePetitChoux
-- although it is interesting that Choux is plural, but Le is singular :confused:
The Squatter of Amon Rudh
Orlando's Top Fangirl
-- it's just so *original* :rolleyes:
Oddwen
High King Fingolfin
-- because he's my little brother and I helped pick out the name. ;)
Luthien_Tinuviel
*Varda*
mark12_30
ElenCala Isil



Those are all the ones that come to mind at moment.

Estelyn Telcontar 06-25-2004 03:46 AM

I'd like to nominate a new nick that I find clever: Elf @ Heart

ElenCala Isil 06-25-2004 07:41 AM

Wow.. of all the spiffy names mentioned, I get my old screenname and this one mentioned?? *feels lofty*

I'm fond of Perky Ent, and Saucepan Man.. woo.
And Meela.. I think that name rocks.
Ineviatably, the guy who be short, is a wonderful name. ^^
And Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant and...
Marigold Gamgee! Does that count?
*goes on and on*

Fingolfin II 06-25-2004 06:35 PM

I like the names The Perky Ent and The Saucepan Man.

SpM, is your name taken from Enid Blyton's 'Saucepan Man' who is a very funny (and partially deaf) character in the Faraway Tree series and who also makes a brief appearance in A book of Brownies? Delightful books.

Sure is. My favourite books until I read The Hobbit. :) He was, of course, only deaf when he wanted to be. :D

Oh, thank you! I like your name too (and note that I'm not saying that just because it would be polite but because I mean it!). Your screen name and avatar match perfectly!

Another great ones are:

Propagandalf
Child of the 7th Age
Darth Mithrandir
Estelyn Telcontar
And many more...

Imladris 08-06-2004 02:43 PM

I have a soft spot for Gimpel the Fool . You know, The only true wisdom consists of knowing that you know nothing. and all that good stuff.

InklingElf 08-06-2004 05:13 PM

I like these the best:

Hookbill the Goomba
Squater of Amon Rudh
Propagandalf
Anything But Arwen
The Saucepan Man
mark12_30


Witty,catchy,original.

Elennar Starfire 08-06-2004 07:22 PM

Propagandalf and Anything but Arwen are great names...I also love InklingElf, because of the Inkling part mainly...The Saucepan Man is of course wonderfully kooky...I remember a Boromir the Disco Llama though I've not seen that name around for quite a while...

Oromin likes my name! I feel so loved... :D

Mithalwen 08-08-2004 11:37 AM

Perky Ent.... because it is a bit "hasty"
Squatter of Amon Rudh because it is intriguing...
Fordim Hedgethistle ... because it could be the name of a regular at "The Pony"
Child ofthe7th Age and Evisse the Blue.... because they are mysterious..
Lady Snickerdoodle ... because it makes me laugh

Elennar Starfire 08-09-2004 12:10 PM

Radagastly is a good one...

Morsul the Dark 08-09-2004 12:42 PM

The Perky Ent
NightKnight
Evisse the Blue

SaucePanman
Inkling Elf

Sirithheruwen 08-12-2004 02:19 PM

I love Esgallhugwen's nick, probably because I accent the "hug" in the middle of the word. So I say it "es-gall-HUG-wen". I have no clue if that is how you say it, or how it is supposed to be said, but I like it all the same!

Esgallhugwen 08-13-2004 11:16 PM

Awww Well thank you Sirithheruwen its so nice to hear others comments about your name, avatar or sig. I'm not sure how to pronounce it exactly, it may be more of a, es-gal-lhug-wen, thats how I pronounce it ;)

Morsul the Dark
Evisse the Blue
Sirithheruwen (is a very cool name)
Saucepanman
Perky Ent (I always imagine a fidgity Ent)
Sleepy Ranger
littlemanpoet
*and many many more*

Morsul the Dark 08-13-2004 11:28 PM

[QUOTE=Esgallhugwen] es-gal-lhug-wen, thats how I pronounce it ;)
QUOTE]

It is a fine name one of my favorites and yet I hate it because I cant pronounce it so I got lazy and say es-ga lol short and simple I do like that name though

and many many more

Esgallhugwen 08-13-2004 11:37 PM

Morsul you can also call me Eswen, lots of my other "Friends" on here call me that. And it is also easy to pronounce. ;)
