I just wish people would stop calling me "Lenny". It's 'Leny, dang it! The apostrophy isn't really necessary, but...that extra N bothers me. Yes, there are two Ns in Elennar, but split it up into the two elvish words Elen-Nar. Star-Fire. See? I was first called Eleny, then decided I like apostropys better than Es, so I am now 'Leny.

Lhuna yours is difficult because of the second 'a'. Every time I go to type your name I have to double check because I tend not to say it out loud. Anyone else find this?

I never pronounce Lhuna's second A. I always have it in my head as Lhunardwen.

But then you remove the "Arda" from her name, making it meaningless!

I love Elvish names though. I never could figure out what a "Lhun" in "Lhunardawen" is though.

I discovered a few doosies through playing WW games. Orominuialwen was just HARD. I copied and pasted that for ages before mastering it. Now I say it out loud just for the fun of it. Lhunardawen got spelled lots of ways before I gave up and started saying Lhuna, Lhunatic, or LhunArtemis the Hunter. See, instead of Lhun-arda-wen, it ended up being Lhun-ad-arwen. Yeah... I got a few unsent PMs back when trying to assign that role.

As for nicknames... elronds_daughter is "Eddy", Encaitare is "Encai" (most other use "Enca"), Eomer of the Rohirrim recently got "'Mer"... Since I quit using "Feanor of the Peredhil" as a whole (boy do I wish I'd thought shorter when I registered), I also stopped using other people's whole names. Presumably if anyone objects, they'll tell me.

I've always assumed that LHUN+ARDA+WEN = BLUE+EARTH+WOMAN.

So, I guess, in my mind, Lhunardawen is a blueish earth woman. Like so-

, but happier.

I've had problems with Meneltarmacil's name... When I first came here I thought it was 'Metamucil'...

Sorry, I really didn't mean it, it was just the first thing that I could remember. Then I decided to 'copy' and 'paste' instead of editing five or six different times. I'm working towards memorizing it, so, hopefully one day...

Then there was Encaitare's name... But, I've remembered the 'cait', and it's proved most helpful. Elennar Starfire's was thankfully easy to remember, but the ['], before Leny, I've forgotten before.

Please don't kill me.

My spelling is horrible, and doesn't stop with other members. Usually its characters as well. Luckly I can notice patterns easily... That is if the name has any, in which I better just think of possible ways of remembering it.
