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.
