Having a LotR nickname? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Thinlómien · 03-17-2005, 05:08 AM

Are you called by a name of a LotR character? Do you have a LotR-related nickname? (Ok, probably: does anyone call you by your screenname except other BD'rs?) Why are you called so? Do you like your nickname? I think it would be nice to reveal these things to everybody...

I'll be the one to start...
Some of my friends call me Gandalf or The Green Wizard. (Strange nicknames for a 15 year old girl...)

That's probably because I'm nearly a year older than my these friends and I've also introduced LotR and roleplaying to them. I'm also the GM of our RPG. I also know more abot Arda than they do - I've read more and more carefully, I suppose. They also keep asking my advice in certain things. And I'm probably as short-tempered as Gandalf is. I don't know do I like these nicknames. They really flatter me, but I don't want to be placed above my friends continuously. It can be really horrible. And I don't have a beard, really.

My best friend, who is the most Sam-like person I've ever met, calls me sometimes Mr. Frodo , for example if I ask her to do something for me.

And if my friends want to be kind to me they may call me Thinlómien.

Hope you have as weird nicknames as I do...

Lyta_Underhill · 03-17-2005, 09:46 AM

Some of my friends (and even my husband sometimes!) call me Frodo or Mr. Frodo. In fact, some of them don't call me by my real name anymore, opting for this hobbit-alternative! The weird thing about it for me is that I'm probably as old as Frodo (in dog years, anyway!)

Cheers!

Encaitare · 03-17-2005, 02:49 PM

When writing things to me (notes or email), my best friend sometimes uses my Elvish name. And occasionally I am referred to as Jamby of the Woodland Realm (Jamby being a perversion of my real name and the Woodland Realm being how Aragorn refers to Mirkwood in the movie when introducing Legolas).

The Only Real Estel · 03-17-2005, 04:41 PM

Uh...my six year-old sister calls me 'Frodo', because of my hobbityish (<---that's a word now) hair, if that counts for anything.

Esgallhugwen · 03-17-2005, 06:04 PM

One of my jock friends (in high school, he was more of a friend to one of my other friends), he used to call me Frodo. And one of my other friends remarked me once as Lady Longshanks, she also says I'd make a great Elf.

Celebuial · 03-18-2005, 04:25 AM

Lot's of my close friends call me Celebuial but they haven't stuck to their Elvish names. Me and my group of friends also call each other Frodo, Evil Hobbitses, Precious, Strider, etc, depending on the mood, or actions of the person concered. For example if I managed to do something without any of my friends noticing I will be called Sneaky Hobbitses when they find out. Similarly we constantly make quotes from the books and films when they spring to mind, e.g: If I managed to get some part of stuck somewhere, or I get a ring stuck on my finger, I will either hear a chorus of "Caught, in a web, soon you'll be... Eaten", or "Take it off us, take it off us!" respectively.

I think this is great! It confuses most people, indeed my mum seems to think that I've been talking in code for years, and those that aren't confused smile at us and nodd with apreciation. It also helps to lighten the mood in an uncomfortable situation.

I love using names and quotes in everyday life, it makes things so much more personal and interesting to say "I'm going back to Mordor" when going somewhere you don't want to go, or "I'm going to speak to Smaug" if you've just had an argument with your mother! It add's an extra sparkle to any situation!

Lalwendë · 03-18-2005, 08:08 AM

Alas, I've never yet had a LotR related nickname, despite having had rather more nicknames than is good for one person (including cyclops, paddington, duracell etc.). But, there is a manager in a room not far from me right now who goes by the name of Gollum, so alike is he to the creature. He not only sounds like Gollum, but he also looks like him, and has something of the Gollum personality, being overly attached to his 'precious' office while all around are forced into the cattle shed atmosphere of the open plan area.

Neurion · 03-18-2005, 10:18 AM

My girlfriend referred to me as Neurion once (Elvish form of my Christian name), or she would have if she was my girlfriend, I mean, she did call me that, but we don't really have the formal boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, I mean, she lives quite a long ways away from me and I don't get to see her that often....this probably doesn't count, does it?

Have you been planting bugging devices around the house?

But, isn't a nickname something only someone else can give to you?

Mithalwen · 03-20-2005, 01:08 PM

Oh I wasn't thinking that specifically... reminds me of my linguistics lecturer asking if a jam pot was still a jampot once you had eaten the jam and were using it to hold pencils....

Have you been planting bugging devices around the house?

No ..... not my style apart from not knowing where or how..........

So a screen name is more a nom de guerre / nom de clavier?

If a nickname can only be given by someone else then on the whole I loathe them... since most of mine were unwanted gifts from my unpleasant sibling or pupils.... apart from La Duquesa...

so on the whole I prefer the name I have chosen for myself

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-20-2005, 02:00 PM

Ah, nicknames... Like Lal said, I've got more names that I respond to than is (or ought to be) natural, some being Professor, Red, Jori, Jack, Grace...

But, incredible as it may seem

I also have picked up a few monikers in the way of Middle Earth-ish type stuff. My old English teacher refers to me as "Ah, here comes the wizard" and when I mention hunger, it's my "hobbit side coming out." I've even been referred to as "Tolkien" himself.

Fea

mark12_30 · 03-20-2005, 02:04 PM

Impressive, Fea!

One young, tall, blond, angular-faced friend got nicknamed "Gregolas".

A friend named Rachel got called Rachelf.

The tall, thin, mischievous guy that hunts with my husband, used to show up at our house while we were gone and chop & stack wood for fun. He got nicknamed "The Wood Elf." He's a decent archer, too.

One friend calls me Frodo (I call her Sam.) Another appends "-Hobbit" to my given name, while I always call her by her screen name. And a third calls me Elf-Princess. (I don't mind, since I'm married to Strider.)

Mithalwen · 03-20-2005, 02:14 PM

Erm well offline, I wouldn't say I was in the closet about it but I tend to keep the extent of my Tolkienism under wraps - at least until after the secret handshake...
I did do an assignment with a fellow fan and (we referred to the company concerned as "mordor ...".

Fea your nicknames are rather better than "Piglet", and "The Honey Monster" ..

THE Ka · 03-23-2005, 01:55 AM

Someone said I was "Old School" the other day... Then called me Gandalf...

I feel SO cool right now...

Plus, My friend has accidently called me 'Frodo'... but I highly doubt that the excuse of 'an accident' was the truth. This accident stuck, and their only reasoning is that our eyes are the same colour... That one made me:

, then, well... I thought about it I guess. My conclusion: "Gahhh! grrahr! ... Are they really that blue?"

I guess the world may never know...

Meela · 03-23-2005, 04:22 AM

I'm often referred to as Gollum, due to my gangly features and googly eyes. I used to walk a little faster than my friends, so I would constantly be turning around and yelling "Come on Hobbitses, long way to go yet!" Of course, my friends did actually resemble hobbitses, so we had a little post-TTT-cinema RP going on there.
The tall, blonde appearance and love of swords n' horses, earned me the name of Eowyn. Actually, I think that's the one that really stuck.
The only other names I get called are Elf, occasionally Galadriel (again tall and blonde, and that's as far as the resemblance goes). Sometimes I was called Strider, again because of my tendency to walk about three leagues ahead of everyone, trampling around the countryside in Ranger boots.

Kath · 03-23-2005, 06:29 AM

My (ex now) form tutor calls me both Hobbit and Gollum.

Hobbit is form my tendency to always sit on the floor so I look shorter than everyone else, and also for my appetite whoch is at least as large as a hobbits of not larger!

Gollum is because during the winter I get cold and so in lessons I sit really curled up on a chair and apparently this reminded him of Gollum.

Of course mainly I just get called obsessed as my friend and I find an LotR quote for any given situation. We mostly use "Fool of a took" and "Stupid, fat hobbit" to describe ourselves (or each other) when we realise just how badly we have messed up the latest piece of work!

Nimrodel_9 · 03-23-2005, 03:44 PM

At my old school, my friends and I formed a fellowship. I was chosen to be Frodo.

At my new school I'm called Lord of the Rings Girl. We have very few LotR fans here.

That is a misfortune indeed.

Hope you find some light at the end of the barrow...

People in school just refer to me as 'Art kid' 'Goth Art kid...' I don't mind, since it is true in a sense. I don't mind about a LOTR nickname reference, since there is a substancial number of people who do enjoy Tolkien at my school. I am, if you were to refer to a sub-culture context, a Victorian Goth. ( Just can't have enough of Mr. Aleister Crowley and Mr. Poe!)

My real name translates to Sindarin as Hiriel, a name I use as my screen name most places (I didn't know it yet when I created my account here, though), and many of my newer friends call me Hiriel most of the time

Morsul the Dark · 05-12-2005, 09:41 AM

well to some i am just plain old andrew to others i am amedaous after mozart some call me mantorak the corpse god....and a few very few mind you call morsul

yavanna II · 05-26-2005, 04:59 AM

At school, I've had a sort of sorority who really thinks it weird that I've bought all Tolkien's books everytime our monthly allowance from the mayor arrives...

...and my best friend [whom I've managed to make her read parts of the Sil if not the whole book] called me Morfindel, though I barely liked it. Another sister who I watched the FOTR with called me Lorien later, for a reason I'm still thinking about till now...

Then my dad found out about my new names, he began calling me Gollum, because of my obsession with sashimi... duh. Sashimi really isn't fish who's raw and wriggling...

Gil-Galad · 05-26-2005, 06:22 PM

well i had Tilion as a nickname for awhile because of my love of Silver(i have silver ring, necklace and watch)

Thinlómien · 05-27-2005, 05:40 AM

My father and my little sister call me The finnish-Tolkien-finnish -dictionary ...

Larien Telemnar · 05-27-2005, 08:32 PM

A friend at Camp called me Frodo and I called her Sam because on a really tough hike up a hill (I'm borderline asthmatic, so I don't do hiking) she wouldn't leave me and wouldn't let me give up, even though I felt like lying down and dying.

Also, all my friends call me The Hobbit because I'm short. My friend Chandler (Nicknamed Chandish) made me his personal slave/servant, so I call him Mr. Chandish .

THE Ka · 05-27-2005, 11:03 PM

I have a friend named Autumn ( Seriously, it is her name.) who I call Galadriel, not only because she has freakishly long-golden hair, but she's full of herself entirely. That last bit is something always fun to poke at, and she is constantly trying to make my much shorter friends feel inferior by starring at them. I see a match! Plus, she always has us (my other friends and I. One of which is a giant...) attending her every need when we are her guests! But, she is rather loveable person, and unfortunately once you're in her trap of 'Innocence' your done...

I have a friend (okay a friends older sister) whose name acutally is Arwen. Their father was reading LOTR when he was younger and decided he wanted a girl with that name. Strangely enough, he never wanted to have boys and I'm not sure Elrond had any. (I could be wrong though.)

As for me, my name does not come from LOTR but a fantasy faery book in it that had the name 'Morai.' I liked it, and later earned the pename 'Folorn Melody.' Kinda lables me as a gothic Goldberry I guess.

I also have a friend who I refer to as 'Samwise', (who is a She.) She refers to me as "her-----" (nickname not included for security reasons.)

Actually, Elrond had two sons, Elrohir and Elladan. Sorry, I'm not being mean or anything, I was just itching to say that. I was disapointed that they weren't in the movies. They would've been so cool in them!

I like your name, it's pretty! And that's cool your friend's name is Arwen! I want to name all four of my first children Sam, Frodo, Merry and Pippin............ Regardless of gender.

P.S. Just Kidding.

True, but perhaps PJ thought his movie was becoming a little too crowded by that point, and I don't blame him for some of the changes he made.

Me too, except I'll probably naming the next few cats I get after LOTR characters they remind me of.

By the way, thanks for the compliment.

Larien Telemnar · 05-29-2005, 03:35 PM

No problem, I like complimenting people!

Yeah, if he would've put everything from the book in the movies we would've had a movie that went as long as the actually journey did. I still think he should've put a few things in, like the scouring of the Shire.........

Elentari_Elbereth · 05-31-2005, 04:54 PM

Well, let's see...
I've been called "Lord of the Rings Queen" by my mom,
"Elf" by many others
"Eowyn" online at times and by others in person (someone who just met me, too!)
I've been called Frodo too..

Most commonly I'm called Elf (not to be confused with that insulting holiday film

)
and/or Eowyn. and my sister's best friend calls me Master.

Gollum is because during the winter I get cold and so in lessons I sit really curled up on a chair and apparently this reminded him of Gollum. Of course mainly I just get called obsessed as my friend and I find an LotR quote for any given situation. We mostly use "Fool of a took" and "Stupid, fat hobbit" to describe ourselves (or each other) when we realise just how badly we have messed up the latest piece of work! __________________ “If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

At my new school I'm called Lord of the Rings Girl. We have very few LotR fans here. __________________ .:A friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart:.

yavanna II Registered User Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: in my own little world Posts: 142	At school, I've had a sort of sorority who really thinks it weird that I've bought all Tolkien's books everytime our monthly allowance from the mayor arrives... ...and my best friend [whom I've managed to make her read parts of the Sil if not the whole book] called me Morfindel, though I barely liked it. Another sister who I watched the FOTR with called me Lorien later, for a reason I'm still thinking about till now... Then my dad found out about my new names, he began calling me Gollum, because of my obsession with sashimi... duh. Sashimi really isn't fish who's raw and wriggling...

Larien Telemnar Wight Join Date: May 2005 Location: Frogmorton, The Shire, Middle-Earth Posts: 114	A friend at Camp called me Frodo and I called her Sam because on a really tough hike up a hill (I'm borderline asthmatic, so I don't do hiking) she wouldn't leave me and wouldn't let me give up, even though I felt like lying down and dying. Also, all my friends call me The Hobbit because I'm short. My friend Chandler (Nicknamed Chandish) made me his personal slave/servant, so I call him Mr. Chandish . __________________ Oh look!

THE Ka Ghost Prince of Cardolan Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: As with the flygja Posts: 1,612	I have a friend named Autumn ( Seriously, it is her name.) who I call Galadriel, not only because she has freakishly long-golden hair, but she's full of herself entirely. That last bit is something always fun to poke at, and she is constantly trying to make my much shorter friends feel inferior by starring at them. I see a match! Plus, she always has us (my other friends and I. One of which is a giant...) attending her every need when we are her guests! But, she is rather loveable person, and unfortunately once you're in her trap of 'Innocence' your done... ~ Shh! Don't tell Ka __________________ Vinur, vinur skilur tú meg? Veitst tú ongan loyniveg?

Yeah, if he would've put everything from the book in the movies we would've had a movie that went as long as the actually journey did. I still think he should've put a few things in, like the scouring of the Shire......... Chuckle __________________ Oh look! It's a Blog!! What's it do? Pushes button Hammer zings out SPLAT!

I've been called "Lord of the Rings Queen" by my mom, "Elf" by many others "Eowyn" online at times and by others in person (someone who just met me, too!) I've been called Frodo too.. Most commonly I'm called Elf (not to be confused with that insulting holiday film ) and/or Eowyn. and my sister's best friend calls me Master. __________________ Who shall see a white ship leave the last shore, the pale phantoms in her cold bosom Like gulls wailing? ...Who shall see the last evening?
