Anor, apart from being an older name for Minas Tirith, also means the sun

This is off the subject, but I have to ask something. Sir SuziQ and I had talked about building a new house and giving it a name. Since we wanted it to be on a hill and to incorporate passive solar, we thought Sunny Hill would be nice. When we went to see the movie, we began to wonder what that would translate into in 'Elvish'. I looked on a website and found that 'Amon' was hill and 'Nar' was sun, but that was Quenyan. Where did you find 'Anor'? "Amon Anor" does sound nice!

Sheesh! Are we Tolkien geeks or what!!?

Amon Anor works. Amon Nórui does too, but I think the first one rolls off the tongue more nicely.

Heh, heh, heh. And when you get the house blessed will your blessing be: "O Elbereth! O Gilthoniel!"
