Silmaril

mine is simple enough. here it goes, The rim or uppermost edge of a hollow container or natural basin. I also have a secondary character in role play named Nawalme. In Quenya I beleive it means torture.
(being dead has been rather pleasant now that the rotting process has finished for me )

Konnichi-wa. (Even though that's the wrong language for this forum. )My name is Quenya for "Eternal Cold". Aira meaning eternal and Nique meaning cold. I like it... I like the meaning and I like the way that it sounds.

Sayonara (Again... )

-Aira Nique

Ngwalme is torture in Quenya, also a name for one of the tengwar, hardly used in transliterating into English because it stands for "ngw."

Elvish turtle?!...

Mine came from my obsession and not-so-alter-ego of a turtle. All of my friends and even people who don't know me well assosiate turtles with me for various reasons. I was bored and decided there should be an elvish word for turtle, there is not so I decided when trying to come up with a screenname to define turtle in elvish. So I translated "Home carrying animal", one simple to translate definition of a turtle, into Quenya-Már colië Lamen other than the fact that Lamen would technically not include reptiles. It sounded best this way though and looked better as Márcolië Lamen so I decided upon that.

Silmaril

Celuien means something along the lines of Maiden of the Flowing Water. It's a play on my real name.

I'm also curious about the Hookbilled One.

Tolkien Tadaa!

wel my name is Rune and my fathers name is Bjarne.

Rune has a meaning of its own - secret lore - of course this is the same name as the Runes witch were used for writing.

The reason i chose this name was that all of the really cool names was taken and i did not want too use hours looking for a cool name i the sil.

(and i do not know elvish so could not translate it)
(is it not Nolvo or somthing like that ?)

Ahhh...

"Valesse" is.... sound.
It doesn't mean sound, but thats what it started out as. I made a lot of goofy, jumbled noise and it all came out at once. Why? I was making up a character name for a Legend of Zelda spoof me, my twin, and my friends were working on.

I liked it instantly, but couldn't put a finger on why it fit so well with the character-part that we had given her-- but then it hit me. 'Valesse' came from 'Valiance', and in considering she was probably named after Link (who was in charge of [the triforce of] Courage) it made sense!... well at least if you're into Zelda games it does.

Turns out it is also very close to the name of some line of French luggage. You're welcome to call me either "Couragous" or just "Luggage" if you want, but Val will do just fine ; )
