Thanks! I came up with it while writing a fanfic that I...never...actually...finished...oops.

Oh, well. I now use 'Loslote' on all the online sites I'm on.

My first ever post sounded something like " it was Galadriel", so with that in mind I picked that as my username (the name means "Lady crowned by a radiant garland"). I added the 55 after seeing that the name was already taken, for the simple reason that I usually add this one rather than other numbers when I need/want to. Not always, but usually.

After the fact I wished I had chosen a more original name (there are what, 5 Galadriels walking around on this forum?), or at least a name that resonates more with me, like Earwen. But I'm so used to it now that if ever my account will crash, my new one will not say Earwen55, but Galadriel555.

I usually use the login Jallan or jallan which is the initial of my first name followed by my last name as I just like the look and sound of it and it fits. But on some forums the names Jallan and jallan were already taken, so I usually extended it to Jallanite or jallanite on those forums.

The letters in the “-ite” suffix are supposed to stand for my book, An Introduction To Elvish.

I don’t see that there is another Jallan on the list, so I may have used jallanite just because it seemed more Tolkienish than jallan. Why I made it all lowercase I don’t remember.
