I hope this hasn’t been posted before! I did a search and couldn’t find it so here goes nothing-You can find your Middle Earth names at [http://www.barrowdowns.com/middleearthname.asp](http://www.barrowdowns.com/middleearthname.asp) Well I now can’t remember what mine where as I attempted to post this before and the (£"\*^((") board was so slow I got DNS error page cannot be found again and again and I believe the proper phrase is “the hampsters ate it” but anyway my Elven name was Calandriel (I think) and my Orkish name was Thraknak the Destroyer and in Dwarvish I was Lim Woodeneyes. Don’t the Orks have lovely feminine names? If any Dopers out there are having a baby girl anytime soon might I suggest Thraknak as a name? Lovely! 😃 ---

According to this, I’m either a hobbit named Berilac Cotton, a dwarf named Durin Skylegs, or an elf with the unpronounceable name of “Girithhisie.” ---

Hmmm…I have my doubts…These were all cut-and-pasted directly from the results I got for each name… According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, **Gandalf The Gray** was a Powerful Elven Maiden(Powerful, I’ll give ya, but…) According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, **Gimli MacGloin** was a Inbred Cave-Troll (I figured, since the Dwarves are fairly Celtic, the Celtic patronymic prefix would apply…) According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth,\*\* Frodo Baggins\*\* was a Prancing Black Rider (would a Black Rider ever prance? That doesn’t seem very intimidating and evil…) According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, **Peregrin Took** was a Laughing Balrog (Are Balrogs capable of laughter?) According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, **Arwen Evenstar** was a Angry Giant (I’m certain this will surprise Liv Tyler…) According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, **Tom Bombadil** was a Furry-footed Ruffian (another triumph of prediction…) According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, **Bilbo Baggins** was a Confused Goblin (yeah, say that to his face…) According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, **JRR Tolkein** was a Creepy Black Rider (Hmmmm…) According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, **Peter Jackson** was a Powerful Istari (definitely shows a bias toward the movies)… ---

Using my real name I found that I’m a: Ale-drinking Maiar. My names are: Elven Malfanaion Hobbit Marcho from Bywater Dwarven Gundin Mithrelguard Orkish Grishluk the Gasher Sort of like the idea of being a Mithrelguard. The rest, except for the Ale-drinking part, don’t do much for me. ---

I’m a World-famous Druadan. My elven name is Helkarun (with a ^ over the u, but I’m too inept to know how to code that.) I don’t want to be a hobbit, dwarf, or orc. Although an elf would probably know how to code better, right? Maybe I’m an orc, after all. (Ghashaluk the Basher) ---

Apparenly, I am a “Fearless Bird-tamer”. Which explains why my best friend’s budgie is afraid of me! Elven names are Quellecristiel, Quellecristien, Quellecristwen. I prefer the first one. I HATE the Hobbit name for me: Rosamunda Tussle from Brockenborings. I am NOT a Rosamunda! Varin Lorecryer is my Dwarf name. It’s ok, but not all that great. I kinda like the Orc name: Mormazh the Pillager. ---

With my real name … Elven : Maikalhugiel Hobbit : Prisca Goldworthy from Dwaling Dwarven : Ibun Thunderears Orkish : Bagbad the Wicked (this one is pretty neat) Using my username I am… Elven : Dolenavariel Hobbit : Prisca Gardener from Scary Dwarven : Merin Thunderears Orkish : Uglok the Nasty (that one is pretty catchy too!) ---

Under my real name, I’m an Intelligent Ranger Elven=Vanwauriel, Vanwaurien, or Vanwaurwen Hobbit=Peony Brown from Tookbank Dwarven=Gimli Deathskull (my favorite) Orkish=Urdul the Blacktooth (apparently I don’t floss) Under Kallessa I end up being a tired ringwraith with names like Lintfeniel (sounds like I collect fabric bits from a bog) and Estella. I’ll stick with Gimli, thank you very much. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/find-your-middle-earth-name/148799.md?page=2)
