_Teleporno_ – I’m glad JRRT changed that name. I turned out to be Eowyn. Now, I happen to quite like Eowyn, but in the sense that I’d rather be married to Eowyn than dress like Eowyn. ---

And I changed one answer and came out as Arwen. Another good choice for the same reasons. ---

> [@](#): > > Teleporno – I’m glad JRRT changed that name. Isn’t it just the Quenya version of “Celeborn”? According to the test, I’m Galadriel, a.k.a. Artanis Nerwen Alatariel\*. But that’s only because they didn’t include Amarië\*\*. \*(Quadgop, did I get my names in the right order?) \*\*(I am _such_ a Tolkien geek) ---

Yeah, Teleporno is Quenya for Celeborn (aka Keleborn). Warning: Do NOT google Teleporno without adding the modifier “tolkien” to it. The results will **NOT** be work friendly. Artanis was Finarfin’s name for her, while Nerwen was Earwen’s. I’m not sure which was first. In some early writings she was also called Nerwendë. Alatariel was Teleri for Galadriel. Galadriel was Sindarin for Alatariel. > [@](#): > > Alatáriel, Alatárielle “Galadriel”, “Maiden crowned with a garland of bright radiance” (compound of alata and rielle, q.v.) (PM:347, UT:266). In MR:182, the primitive form of Galadriel’s name is given as galata-rîg-elle, but this would have yielded Telerin \*\*Galatáriel, \*\*Galatárielle instead. However, Tolkien reinterpreted the initial element, deriving it from ñalatâ- instead of galata; see alata above.

It rated me as Boromir. Personally, I agree it needs more questions. I suspect I’m closer to a Ringwraith than anything else. ---
