Maeglamiel "sharp-tongued maiden" because she's the only girl a Ranger needs in the Wild :P

Ok, I suck at Sindarin, so please tell me if I mashed this horribly. Also, I got the words off of a wordlist so I have no idea if they actually mean what they say they mean.

Three good offerings! Great job guys! By the way, any name not used on the knife could be a good name for a future creation.

Ok, I'll jump in. "Dagoriel" is my try, for "battle maiden", accent on the "gor". And if she's used in battle, in more ways than one! :wink:

OK, here's my one, which Ernildhir kindly translated for me: 'Ellethnin', meaning She-Elf Tear (maybe also Elf maiden's Tear?). Lol i don't know why i called it that, I just thought it sounded cool.

Young Rangerling,

Those are fine names indeed, but in choosing a name you must know the meaning, and our smith is making a blade that is new and as yet, unnamed. While I am sure it would be an honor for a blade to carry the name of a long treasured and storied weapon of the Elder Days, I think it is the will and intent of our smith to make a blade and name that will have its own destiny. If you list the name for the blade, please tell us the meaning, and why you think it would fit.

Figured I may as well give it a go. I like the name Elennumen which is Quenya for Star of the West.


I THINK, that is, haha.

Despite the fact that most of those blades already exist, or are mix & match words of names Tolkien already created
