So... I am correct in guessing that most people here got their usernames from the elven name generator, and from the Silmarillion? That is just a guess... Well, talk about how you got your name here! Silmarwen is my elven name, Inglorion from one of the unsung heroes (more or less a hero), Gildor Inglorion of the House of Finrod. Ah poor Gildor. Everyone forgets you.  |

Oh! I recognized yours! I think there are a few here named for the Vala as well... It is always interesting to hear where people got their names from... How did this end up here? I could have sworn I put this topic elsewhere...

Strange, but mine has actually got a story behind it. In a Mellon Chronicles story (Tears Like Rain), Legolas' mother gives him a nickname, [glow=red,2,300]Tyndolhen[/glow]. It is a mixture of Quenya and Sindarin, loosely translated "golden-haired dreamer child" I went from there. by the way, i highly recommend The Mellon Chronicles as good clean fanfiction. (I don't usually read slash.) www.aragorn-legolas.5u.com |

...name-generator.
I tried to translate my name literally, but didn't like the result, so chose to stick with this one. I like the meaning of it.

My names not from an elvish name generator myne is another name for Arwen it's probably the least used of her names so instead of using just plain old "Arwen" I used this
P.S. I was thinking about changing my name to Salem Black for special reasons but never did hehehehehehe

About Inwë I'm not sure. Maybe it's the female for Finwë But Eärfalas: ëar means see and falas means coast. I since I love the see... I love the name.  |

Mine is from a Fantasy Name generator, but I chose it myself. Elvawen Tasardur--something to the effect of Starmaiden Willowlover.  |

As for my username, it's kind of like a play on words or whatever...check out my Xanga page for more info (in the header). www.xanga.com/spanishevenstar. As for the name I use in the profile, Erwestiel, when I first got into Elvish and was looking for a name, I went the name-generator route. The first one I got Silmarwen Cúthalion. Then I learne Elves didn't really have last names as it were. And Silmarwen isn't a real character from what I've read...I think it was taken from "Silmarien" or something. Anyway, I did some research and found a Quenya name database, and looked up my real name. It was Eruvande. I didn't necessarily want a Quenya name, though, but couldn't find a Sindarin one anywhere, until I came across councilofelrond.com, where they have a Sindarin name database. There were many options to choose from, and I chose Erwestiel. It sounded the most "Elvish". So that's what I use on my LJ profile and stuff. |

My username is simply my middle name translated into Sindarin by the lovely elvish mods at Council of Elrond (they translate by the meaning of your name). It means 'of crystal' |

Well, I looked up the meaning to my real name, it ment "gods grace " so i looked those two words up in Quenya and God translated to ERU and grace translated to ERUANNA so I took ERUANNA as my screen name, I think its pretty
and now it seems even my family calls me it now, strange i know, but a fact.
Probably because i spend so much time on here
