[Silpion]

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

[Lady of Rohan]

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]

i like tharkun for gandalf and elessar for aragorn

[Radagast The Brown]

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

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

[Dreran the Green]

Gandalf
Olorin
Tharkun
Mithrandir
Incanus
The Grey Pilgrim

The White Rider
The Enemy of Sauron

But I still like Gandalf because, er, just because:D

Turin:
Neithan
Gorthol
Agarwein
Mormegil
Turember
The wild man from the woods (?? if transalted right)

[Rosie Gamgee]

Gandalf - Gandalf (although Mithrandir is my second choice),
Aragorn - Elessar (Dunadain next)
Galadriel - Lady of the Galadhrim
Eowyn - I like 'The White Lady of Rohan'

Check out this thread. (http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8612) If you want to change your name, you might want to go ahead and do it now.
And welcome to the moot!:)

Galadriel and the White Lady (to choose from above)
Varda (the original name)

[durin's bane]

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

[Varda Oiolosseo]

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]

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]

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.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Names to add to this oldish thread

Smeagol---Gollum
The One Ring---my precious
Lord of the Nazgul---Witch-King of Angmar

(from The Silmarillion)
Anglachel---The Black Sword of Beleg

(and, in Saruman's opinion)
Radagast the Brown---Radagast the Simple! (or) Radgast the Fool!:D

[Imric]

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.

______________________________________

Yes, I like the way that name both explains something about Tom Bombadil and adds to his mystery.


Another name:
Meriadoc Brandybuck a.k.a.
Merry
Master Holbytla
Holdwine of the Shire
Master Perian
Master of Buckland, Meriadoc the Magnificent

[Dúnedain]

Blasphemy! Some of Aragorn's names have been left out :D

Here are all of them, as I know them anyway :p

Aragorn
Telcontar (the name of his royal house, it means "Strider" in Elvish)
Elessar
The Elfstone
Estel
Hope
Strider
Thorongil
Wingfoot
Envinyatar (meaning "The Renewer")
The Renewer (see above)
Chieftain of the Dúnedain
Dúnadan
King of the West

Of course some of those are titles, but some of those titles he was referred to as in a name form as well.

My favorite names of his are, Elessar and Thorongil. They are my favorites, then probably followed by Aragorn and Telcontar.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

I seem to recall that somewhere in LOTR Aragorn gives a name recital something like "I am Aragorn son of Arathorn, Elessar, Isildur's Heir." So I think "Isildur's Heir" would also be one of his names (Wow, think of the size of the tombstone, or whatever, in Rath Dinen for all his appelations!).:D

Cheers,
Sam. I love Sam. I'd say, Sam is my favourite name for him, or Samwise. Where is Banazir from? That's a really cool name.

[Garina]

I don't know where Banazir is from, but apparently Banakil was an early name for hobbits, used by men after the first millenium of the Third Age.

I like Niniel (Tear Maiden) which Turin names his sister Nienor when they meet again.

Henneth Annun instead of the Window of the West, where Faramir and his rangers camp.

Any of the Dwarven names: Zirak-zigil instead of Celebdil or Silvertine, Khazad-dum instead of Moria or Dwarrowdelf, Kibil-nala instead of the Silverlode (I think!) and so on. They've got a lovely feel to them.

I like the name Mithrandir for Gandalf, but is 'the Grey Pilgrim' entirely correct after he becomes Gandalf the White?

[ethuiliel]

I'll stick to the more known characters for now...

Gandalf - Mithrandir (both the Elves (my favorite culture) and Faramir (my favorite character) call him that...cool!)

Aragorn - Estel (I like the meaning...hope), though "the Dunadan" is a close second

I like Mithrandir and Olorin for Gandalf, and Galadriel for Galadriel.

[clep_web]

Slinker & Stinker (for Gollum), and Stormcrow & Greyhame for Gandalf

[littleadanel]

Great bump!! :)

I love Elentári Tintallë, these two of Varda's names. For Gandalf, Olórin, and Incánus. (Wonder what business he had in the south?) As for Aragorn, his Sindarin name-variation Aragorn Arathornion Edhelharn (son of Aragorn, the Elfstone).

[Farimir Captain of Gondor]

Here's a list of mine:

Gandolf- Mithandir........ Faramir called him that so it's good enough for me :p

Aragorn- Srtrider......when the hobbits first meet him and he's the mysterious ranger

Sam- Samwise the Brave.....he truly is

Gollum- Smeagol.... poor Smeagol

Sarumon- Corumo..... Saruman just sounds to much like Sauron

Moria- Khazad-Dum...sounds good considering what happened to Gandolf there

Weathertop-Amon Sul....just a cool name

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

Another for Merry: Captain Meriadoc!

What is your favorite name of characters with multiple names such as Aragorn or Gandalf?
If you don't remember them, here are a few for Gandalf:
Gandalf
Mithrandir
The Grey Pilgrim

Now for Aragorn:
Aragorn
Elesar
Strider
Dunedain

I thought I'd contribute to this neat thread :)

My favourite name for Gandalf is probably Mithrandir as it's what the Dunedain called him - I don't feel the Dwarvish name of 'Tharkun' really fits his wizard exterior, somehow.

As for Aragorn, I prefer his rugged, ranger name, 'Strider' which, as mentioned previously in this thread, was used most commonly in the Fellowship of the Ring.

[Green Rose]

I only like Mithrandir for Gandalf...Estel for Aragorn was alright too, but not the best. Ahaha! Stupid Fat Hobbit for Sam too!

[The Telcontarion]

Aragorn
Estel
Elessar

Arathornson-which means son of Arathorn, or Arathornion in high elvish, which also mean scion of Arathorn.

Erienion-which means scion of kings or son of kings.

Eldarion-son of or scion of the Eldar.

Thus my name, the Telcontarion-the son of or the scion of the striders.

[LutraMage]

Mithrandir seems more noble and a better representation of one side of Gandalf's character. But simple 'Gandalf' sure sums up his persona as understood by the Hobbits. Tolkien was a clever son-of-a-gun.
