Hi. I've just joined your forum so I thought I'd tell you that my name means Silver Twilight.

Oh, and how can you say that:

Legolas is a "reused" name albeit of a v. minor char in a then unpublished work sorry don't have HoME on me for refs. An alternative translation would be Sharp Ears (from laigo lhas) - which might be the nail in the coffin of the pointy ears debate !

Legolas (that is the first one) slayed a balrog during the fall of Gondolin! I don't think that you can call him minor. Well, he was slain himself, but seeing as only three balrog's have been slain and each of their slayers have been slain I don't see the problem!

I think I should stop using the word slain...
