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
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.

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.
