What does your screenname mean? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Of course! *wacks self on head* I do now recall that I have looked up lhug before but for some reason I chose to pay little attention to it, perhaps because I was uncertain on something that I now cannot recall. Oh well 'tis not important now that Lachwen has so courteously jogged my slumbering memory.

Hmm how to put it:

The Maiden of Hiding Serpents (or Dragons perhaps)?

Any suggestions? I'm feeling awefully dumb

Morgul Queen could also mean Dead Queen...

Not really. The word Morgul comes from Mor - dark, and gul - sorcery, knowledge. As for the queen, I've long since dropped it in other forums, but I really should have used Tari or Bereth.

i know about that, but most people would think you get it from Minas Morgul, which means City of the Dead...just thinking don't have to throw it back in my face if you don't like Dead Queen

Mine means "Eagle of the Star". But I guess most of you already knew that.

Noxomanus · 08-01-2004, 03:16 PM

Noxomanus is a name that has nothing to do with LotR,but does IMO, have a dark and sinister tone to it. It's derived from ancient Greek and Latin, I think.

Nux, night, combined with manus or hand or claw. Noxomanus thus means Night-Claw. As for my avatar,what could be more symbolic for a 'night-claw' then an owl?

Laitoste · 08-01-2004, 04:18 PM

Laitoste is my name, Lauren, in Quenya. According to the site I got the translation from (quenya lapseparma) says my name is the feminine form of Laurence, which is from Latin 'from Laurentum'. I've always thought that my name meant 'crown of laurel leaves' or something to that extent. Whatever works, I suppose.

Hey, cool! My real name is Laura, which makes my Quenya name Laitaine. That actually sounds kinda nice...
