The Elven-speaking thread

morvaltur said:

Yes, true. I mean, when you do not make up your own names, and use names/words from a book, there is bound to be someone else that uses that as well. I think I have found two other people over the entire internet that use my Elven first name, Kaimelar. And then use it as part of a longer name, so there is no confusion, since I often use it with my Elven last name.

Hi again people!!! or Suilaid if you prefer.
I don't think I've been on this thread since the upgrade... so it's good to be back...Im gelir ceni ad lín (I am happy to see you again). I often use an elvish or elvish-derived name, especially as usernames.
There are some sites which have elvish-derived names (they use the meaing of the name and use the elvish equivalent eg, Anna, which means 'grace' is translated as Eruanna, which literally re-translated means 'gift of God' [grace].)
[ot]the other day someone tried to compliment me by saying I look like Gollum they claimed it was because I have big eyes . Go figure, Precious

&#8220;Ëarlindë&#8221; is the Quenya translation I am coming up with for &#8220;Song of the Sea&#8221;. Literally translated, this means &#8220;Sea song,&#8221; but it is read as &#8220;Song of the Sea.&#8221; Hope that helps.
Namarie.

Yeah, I think it would sound better if there was a vowel between the "Ëar" part and the "lindë" part.
