Nominations for Best Nicks! - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nimrodel · 01-16-2003, 09:14 PM

I like Bethberry and Burrahobbit.

Probably the result of too many postings!

Is there such a thing?

I like burrahobbit a lot too.

Greycloak · 01-16-2003, 10:16 PM

I think Lathspell is very original.

HerenIstarion · 01-17-2003, 04:21 AM

Since the Board is Tolkien dedicated, I'd be glad to nominate ppl with elvish names (as well as second all listed above) (and not randomly generated by software of some sort, but those bearing some meaning) Here it goes:

Mithadan (Grey Man)

Durelen (Dark Star)

Eruhen (God Child)

lindil (Lover of Song)

Aiwendil (Lover of small birds)

Alkanoonion (The Glorious One (?))

latando angaina (One who opens [iron] Gate)

(and don't tell me that the latter one is because I was using this account myself at a time - the choice of the name was unaffected by me, even though it was I who lured the owner into BD)

The owners of the nicks listed will of course excuse my crude translations (and revelation of their meaning, otherwise obscure to commoners [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]) and make required alterations (if any)

Apart from above category I would be glad to nominate Saulotus, obviously meaningful name meaning of which is obscure to anyone expect the bearer

and selfsame

Bob Wehadababyitsaboy

just because

in addition to Mr.Underhill (my compliments)

there are tons of others worth nominating, but that's all I can recall at one go. I'll come in later if ... etc etc

Sincerely,

LePetitChoux · 01-17-2003, 12:43 PM

Two people voted for me! Wow! don't know what to say! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I'll vote: I love Orli Bloom...so creative and original.

And, on a more serious note, I like burrahobbit, and Alkanoonion. They have nice Rings to them (haha, get it? Nice rings on a Tolkien site? Oh, forget it) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I like so many names, it's hard to remember them all!

Lush · 01-17-2003, 02:10 PM

A definite new entry:

propagandalf.

I have no idea who this person is, but they're funeee!!!

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ooh la, look here, 3 Russian-speakers (including myself) have just posted on this thread in a row. Coincidence? I think not. *wiggles eyebrow*

HerenIstarion · 01-18-2003, 03:07 AM

propagandalf

seconded [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

LePetitChoux · 01-18-2003, 05:38 AM

How could I forget Rimbaud?

I love that word, but sadly have no idea what it means, orwhat a Rimbaud is... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

vanwalossien · 01-18-2003, 08:33 AM

propagandalf [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Why can't I think of things like that when I create nicks? My nomination is (in addition to Maril, for beautiful simplicity) Samwise. Not the most original nick perhaps, but is there a nick better fit to describe her?

I suspect it has to do with the wonderful French poet, Arthur Rimbaud. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

propagandalf · 01-18-2003, 06:37 PM

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] well this is a shocker [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

ermm.. yes, i'm a 'new entry' here.. somewhat freaked out [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img].. but thanks.
(yoo lot made me spill food on my keyboard)

yoo would forgive me if i make my nomination later as i haven't acquainted myself with the other usernames as of yet.

Lush · 01-19-2003, 03:50 PM

I would like to nominate the newly-deceased Moonpie. Tasty nick. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-19-2003, 09:46 PM

Can we vote for more than one?

If so, a fourth vote from me for propagandalf

... and a second vote for Moonpie (but, I might just be biased ...) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Green Ringwraith · 01-19-2003, 10:04 PM

Skippy the Nazgul sounds pretty kewl!

Susan Delgado · 01-20-2003, 03:16 AM

Has anyone nominated The Lorien Wanderer yet? If not, I will.

Aylwen Dreamsong · 01-20-2003, 04:24 PM

What about ShootingStar? He/She is new, but I still think it's a pretty name.

Aylwen

GreatWarg · 01-20-2003, 04:37 PM

I have always considered The Green Ringwraith rather creative, if I do say so myself. Also Birdland; a nick that just sticks, somehow.

Susan Delgado · 01-20-2003, 06:27 PM

Welcome Back, GW [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I also considered The Green Ringwraith

Gayahithwen · 01-22-2003, 04:48 AM

I love the name Marileangorifurnimaluim , even though it is HARD to spell right. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Apart from that.. LePetitChoux always made me smile.. and, I've got to vote for burrahobbit as well - seeing as I'm a generally big fan of him. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Rimbaud · 01-22-2003, 09:52 AM

Thank you for the nomination. You can find out about my namesake here.

mark12_30 · 01-22-2003, 10:08 AM

I'd like to second "Child of the Seventh Age", for numerous reasons: for one, it's the only nick that sent me to the letters to research its meaning; it also inspired chapters of fanfiction; and it's the most wistful homage to Tolkien's mythos that I've seen.

And she (the seventh age hobbit) is pretty cool, too.

burrahobbit · 01-22-2003, 01:35 PM

Not enough people picked me.

I considered nominating The Barrow-Wight, but I feared the red lipstick marks on his bum might cause him trouble at home.

Sweet Maril.

Maril gets my vote as well, even if I still have trouble saying it. Down, you pesky trout, shouldnt be flying around, down...

Littlemanpoet, after I read Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry, this has always reminded of the sweetest character.

Suicidal elf chick.
Nicktheorc.
Regis- a new member, but with such a regal name.

A dull name from the Archers corner. Ho hum.

I have quite a few favourite PTs though.

Well, make your map, Burrahobbit, and maybe we'll consider it. quid pro quo. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thank you for your vote. Great Warg. I myself always kind of liked Kettle of Fish. A name that actually makes about as much sense as mine, but has an oddly Tolkienque ring to it.

[ January 23, 2003: Message edited by: Birdland ]

burrahobbit · 01-23-2003, 02:23 AM

I BEEN BUSY JEEZE CUT ME SOME SLACK.

Birdland · 01-23-2003, 02:41 AM

"Busy"? No excuse! Obviously someone is not a true fanboy.

burrahobbit · 01-23-2003, 02:47 AM

I could have told you that years ago.

Amanaduial the archer · 01-23-2003, 03:34 PM

Did you know her years ago? Sorry, being difficult.

Actually, Birdland gets a vote here. Its a great piece of music.
And I didnt see Propagandaplh before, so hes in there as well.

burrahobbit · 01-23-2003, 04:13 PM

No, but that isn't the point. I could have told BW that I'm not a very good fanboy. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer · 01-24-2003, 01:23 PM

Sorry burrahobbit.

Galadrie1 · 01-24-2003, 05:52 PM

I really like Anything but Arwen and, of course, propagandalf. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

hobbitlass · 01-28-2003, 10:25 PM

I put in a vote for HerenIstarion. I had mentioned on another thread how I like to say it out loud cause it just rolls off the tongue. And sorry in advance if I spelled it wrong, I do have a tendency.

Diamond18 · 01-28-2003, 10:34 PM

the guy who be short made me laugh right out loud.

HerenIstarion · 01-29-2003, 12:21 AM

thanks, hobbitlass [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. And yes, you did spell it right

Inderjit Sanghera · 01-29-2003, 08:37 AM

I think Inderjit Sanghera should be nominated, even though it is my real name.

Diamond18 · 01-29-2003, 11:11 AM

So in other words, you're nominating your parents for outstanding naming ability? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Oh, and you were nominated, by Merri.

[ January 29, 2003: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

Elanor · 01-29-2003, 01:21 PM

There are too many great names to pick a best one, but I like HerenIstarion, burrahobbit, propagandalf, Lush, red, Sharku, Mithadan... I could go on (and on).

Elanor · 01-29-2003, 01:23 PM

Oh, and I like hobbitlass too, it sounds like Holbytla, as well as having a meaning in English.

Elanor · 01-29-2003, 01:29 PM

I like Alkanoonion as well. Though I always think of it as Alkano Onion, and something tells me he didn't mean it that way [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[ January 29, 2003: Message edited by: Elanor ]

*Varda* · 01-29-2003, 01:59 PM

Gah! I'll never be able to look at Alkanoonion's name in the same way again!

I like Bethberry, and Child of the Seventh Age.

Saucepan Man - why did you decide to name yourself that? The name rings a bell...
