If you don't remember them, here are a few for Gandalf:
Gandalf
Mithrandir

Now for Aragorn:
Aragorn
Elesar
Strider
Dunedain

Ooh, I love Galadriel's and Varda's names too! My favourite name for Gandalf is Olórin.

Silpion · 07-02-2003, 12:02 AM

Aragorn was known by some really good names. My two favorites is Aragorn (king tree) and Estel (hope).

Lady of Rohan · 07-02-2003, 10:16 AM

I Like 'Olorin', for Gandalf too. I also 'Mithrandir', for him as well.

I Like 'the Lady of Lorien' for Galadriel, the most, I think.

gimli7410 · 07-02-2003, 01:11 PM

i like tharkun for gandalf and elessar for aragorn

Radagast The Brown · 07-02-2003, 05:05 PM

I don't like the name 'Gandalf'. Mithrandir is the best.

For Aragorn - Aragorn.

I like Galadriel's name too, and for Varda - Elbereth.

Dreran the Green · 07-02-2003, 05:44 PM

Gandalf
Olorin
Tharkun
Mithrandir
Incanus
The Grey Pilgrim
The Grey Wanderer
The White Rider
The Enemy of Sauron

But I still like Gandalf because, er, just because

What about Luthien?

Radagast The Brown · 07-03-2003, 03:15 PM

Turin:
Neithan
Gorthol
Agarwein
Mormegil

Gandalf - Gandalf (although Mithrandir is my second choice),
Aragorn - Elessar (Dunadain next)
Galadriel - Lady of the Galadhrim

Check out this thread. If you want to change your name, you might want to go ahead and do it now.
And welcome to the moot!

durin's bane · 07-07-2003, 09:44 PM

I like Olorin for Gandalf, Samwise the Brave for Sam, and Peregrin for Pippin.

Varda Oiolosseo · 07-09-2003, 02:04 PM

Arwen
Evenstar,
Lady of Rivendell,
Undomiel,
Elelome

I like Arwen best (i think it means Noble Maiden) but i like it coz it's a pretty name. But i also love Evenstar.

I like Varda too and Lady of the Golden Woods and Aragorn and Gandalf.

elixir · 07-26-2003, 08:08 PM

Gandalf - Mithrandir
Aragorn - Elessar
Varda - Elbereth
Galadriel - Galadriel or the Lady of Lórien
Arwen - Evenstar
Luthien - Luthien Tinuviel (both of the names as one)

Laurelindórenan · 07-27-2003, 01:32 AM

I know this thread says strictly the favorite name of characters with multiple names, but what about places?

I just have to throw out there that the woods of Lothlórien had many beautiful names, but I think the most beautiful was the one which Fangorn called them, 'Laurelindórenan'

As for the characters, I really like Merry and Pippin's given names of Meriadoc and Peregrin, and also the name of Galadriel.

I've always liked the name given to Tom Bombadil by the Elves. Iarwain Ben-adar (which means ''oldest and fatherless'') has stuck in my memory since I first read it three decades ago.
