My Hobbit name is Fosco Knotwise of Michel Delving
My Elvish name is Maglor Ancalimë I am wondering why my Hobbit name is so curious, and what is the significance. --------------------   W.L.Y.J. 1 of the 99.99% Images curtesy of Hagiographer13 & Moose_Starr |

Dwarves names? No chance! I probably couldn't have told you them even if I'd read a list five minutes before.
 My hobbit name is Primula Hardbottle. *snort* Isn't Primula a type of cheese? Elven name: Ireth Elanessë. I think I like that one better.

QUOTE(ravenclawgirl34 @ Jun 15 2008, 10:50 PM)  yay! Name generators... always so much fun! If I were a hobbit, I would be Belba Boffin of Whitfurrows If I were an elf, I would be Nellas Mithrandír... does that mean I'm related to Gandalf? If you are then I am too - my elvish name is Idril Mithrandír. No idea why! My hobbit name is far less interesting, Daisy Boffin of Whitfurrows! As for the dwarves, I really should know this, I only just read it to my daughter! Hmmm: Thorin Oakenshield, Balin (my favourite), Dwalin, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Fili and Kili. I can't do the wierd accent type things, sorry! Cristyn Edited to add: Well, trying out the other link made my husband laugh: my hobbit name was Araminta Muddyfoot! Considering I am famous for never wearing shoes (I even kick them off at formal occasions and wander round barefoot!) that's very appropriate.

Perenelle,
The name Primula is a name of a beautiful flower. I note that the hobbits have a habit(ha ha--note the rhyme?) of choosing flower names for their daughters--Daisy, Rose(Rosie). Hope that makes you feel better; I really doubt it's the name of a cheese.  How I got the name of Dimple, however, I don't know--unless it's because I had a little indentaion on my chin when I was little--er--littler. -------------------- "And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure."

My Hobbit name is Rosie-Posie Proudneck of Tuckborough. Hmm, not sure I like it very much... Everyone else here seems to have way cooler Hobbit names than that...
 My Elvish name, however, is Luthien Tinuviel (totally serious - that's what it says!) so I can't really complain about that one! ETA - I tried the other site and it made me laugh. Apparently I am a "Happy Dwarf"... I also got a laugh out of my orkish name - it's Baggash the Maimer.  My Hobbit name is slightly better there - Donnamira Brandybuck of Buckland. I think I could be a Brandybuck... I'm totally keeping Luthien Tinuviel though, there's no beating that.

Not having much luck with the name thing. According to the first link, I am Iris Peatfingers. I despise irises, and what the heck is a 'peatfinger'?! Not much better with the second link, as it reveals I am a Middle Earth "Furry footed Stone troll"...how flattering is that? I think I'll stick with my real name

I was a sad huorn - which I thought was a little off - but I think it's better than some of the options! Cristyn -------------------- "Who wills Can. Who tries Does. Who loves Lives."
