Actually, there is [another LOTR random name generator](http://www.barrowdowns.com/middleearthname.asp) that does give you an Orkish name, in addition to Hobbit, Elvish, and Dwarvish. It also identifies your Middle Earth race. For example, with my full name I am:

**a daring Half-elf**

Elvish name (male): **Telepalcarion**

Hobbit name (male): **Blanco Bracegirdle from Bree**

Dwarven name: **Vráin Marblearrow**

Orkish name: **Globuk the Slaughterer**

According to the OP’s generator, however, my names are:

Hobbit: **Bungo Hamwich of Buckleberry Fern**

Elvish: **Galdor Elensar**

Bungo or Blanco?? I think I’ll go with Globuk, as long as he’s Uruk-hai.

Just a thought on pronunciations. I use a Gaelic pronunciation key. Seems to make sense.

Since my first name is unisex…I looked at both to see which was coolest. I like the masculine hobbit name but the feminine elven name…

Hobbit name: F: Azaelia Foxburr of Loamsdown  
M: Pobo " " " "

Elven name F: Larian Helyanwë  
M: Earandur Helyanwë

I seem to be a relation to Gail. Hey sis!

So the Red Book (is that like the women’s magazine?) of Redmarch says I (real name) am a **Stunning Bird-Tamer** whatever the hell that is.

Elvish (male) - **Dimcristion**

Hobbit (male) - **Anson Took from LongCleeve**

Dwarfish - **Nîm Silverlaughter**

Orcish - **Ishmazh the Gasher**

Then of course here (superhero name) the Red Book says I was am a **Loathsome Elf** which I like much better.

Elvish (male) - **Dûrcrabanion**

Hobbit (male) - **Hamfast Ploughman from Bree**

Dwarfish - **Kór Skyslayer**

Orcish - **Grothâk the Obtuse** this is by far the best. Obtuse… I love it.
