The New Hobbit Hole

[Overtaxed]

I'd get bored pretty quick without a personality to contend with. :)

Thanks all for sharing the "Figwit" thing. It makes me think that I'm not so crazy after all!

[htur_75]

Simple. Inquiring minds want to know. I briefly checked out the site to see who the heck was Figwit. The site isn't worth taking the time to read though.

Here's a fun Middle Earth site you might want to check out: Middle-earth Name Generator. I came out as "Talkative Istari". My screenname came out "Irritating Sniffer". I think my parents had better luck picking names! LOL

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - I'll bite: these are for my real name:

According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, I was a - Valiant Elf

Elven Name Possibilities (root name) Vinyavása

Hobbit lass name - Camellia Roper from Frogmorton

Dwarven Name - Bofur Skyslayer

Orkish Name - Ashkûr the Obtuse

Love my orkish name btw... Obtuse is one of my favorite words.

[htur_75]

I came out as Handsome Teleri. Hansome? Does that still apply to females? Using just my first and last name I became Groveling Longbeard. Didn't particularily appreciate that one either.

My elven name was Astaldorhosiel, or Gorothdringiel with only my first and last names. Now if only I can pronounce them. My hobbit name was Hilda Baker from Newbury, or Pearl Brandybuck from Girdley Island if I only used my first and last name. Hey if I go with the last hobbit name I am related to Merry!

Thanks for posting that. It was interesting.

Cool! But I don't like the results much for any form of my name I use.... The Elven forms might have some promise: Quelledagniriel or Firthôlien.

[htur_75]

At least your second elven name is easier to pronounce than either of mine. LOL

[JenB]

Ok, this is better - by including my middle initial I magically improved my results!

In Middle-earth, you were a Valiant Elf. Much better... and the other forms aren't bad. Iarvása, for the Elf form, Bell Roper from LongCleeve if I were a Hobbit, Bombur Stealthslayer - ahh! I'm Bombur!!?? the sleepy, overweight Bombur? No way! - and I'm just not including the Orc name.

[Overtaxed]

My other names are:

Elvish: Imregiel

Hobbit: Primula Bunce from Haysend (I don't know about those flower names.)

Dwarf: Dain Lightningteeth

Orc: Bâzzag the Wicked (well they might have gotten that right. I can be very bad when I put my mind to it.)

Now. How do I rig this to be a Took?

They have a Tengwar generator at that site... very cool! Now I can write papers in Feanorian Script!

[2Jedismom]

I'm not too sure I like the Stormlegs name...

"Sorry, the Tengwar Scriptor will not transcribe with any other font. Mac font is not supported.

Argh!! Remind me of this site when we get the new 'puter, would ya???!!! We'll have to soon, Matthew starts third grade on May 1st and I've already bought his curriculum that will only run on a PC!

[Overtaxed]

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Using first initial, middle name, last name I come out Adamanta Took from Binbale Wood. Finally! A website that satisfies my inner Took!

[JenB]

Hmm... and you're not just a Took, you're an exceptionally stubborn Took, if the first name is any indication. (Adamant being diamond, which is hard and not very good at changing its mind.)

[ecurbh]

I found out from the TORN message boards, where Figwit was the primary topic of conversation for a several-week stretch.

[Overtaxed]

you're not just a Took, you're an exceptionally stubborn Took

As in "hardheaded"? :) I still like it better than being a primrose.

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - I was browsing around and found this link at TORN to LoTR Halloween costumes...

I think this is a must-have for your hobbit kiddies!

And for the grownups: (thumbnails, go to the site to see big pics)
