And here's me:
do: well, short for Dominique.... been called everything from Do, Dodo, Dom, Dommie to Dosie, Doobie and Doodoo.
larabee: if you're an MB fan you'll know this one. Michael Biehn's character in the Magnificent Seven TV series - Chris Larabee.
morgane: used to be my username of preference at the beginning of this internet thing but it got too popular so I dropped it. Only have it now for ICQ. Oh, and Morgane is the name of one of my cats.
lamaudite: reserved so far for my LJ, it means 'the damned' and it's also the name of a popular microbrewery-style beer in Québec with a nice nod to a folk legend called La Chasse-Galerie.
do.

Panneth is a Sindarin translation of Emma. They both have their roots in the words all or universal (so there).
Emmysuze, which I use so I don't frighten all my friends with elvish, is just my first and middle names (Emma Suzanne) shoved together.

My actual name is Chriselda which means "grey maiden" or "battle maiden." So imagine my surprise when I discovered that my name had been translated into Sindarin. And that is the story behind my name.

Mora already knows this but for the benefit of everyone else, here goes,
Meleka is the name of our family boat we have on the Gippsland Lakes. Any one in Australia specifically Victoria will know where abouts the lakes are. 
It has nothing to do with my real name (Philippa) and its not very common which is good

I'm not creative at all. I tried to translate my own name into Sindarin or Quenya but that didn't really work out. My real name is Willemijn and it means something like 'willing protector'  Not very cool unfortunately.
So I searched my Tolkien books for a nice (but not to popular) name. In UT I found a chart of the early descendants of Elros. Isilme is the younger sister of Silmarien and great grand daughter of Elros Tar-Minyatur.

Can anyone else tell when these two are serious?

| Okay, this is a long one, my real name is Emma, (how many Emma's are there on this site?) but my middle name is Lucy and Lucy in Gaelic in Ani y alay So kind of mixed up letters and got the name Ania, (and also it was the name of my first LOTR fanfiction character I'm shamed to say) |

| Nowhere near as interesting, but SilverMoonLady is just the nickname my husband uses to dedicate his paintings/sketches to me... Though I did have a lot of fun translating my name around in elvish and into *don't hurt me cause I'm ignorant* one of the gaelic tongues... So Melanie "dark" turned into elvish Morwenna, and Knox "hill" (which is already celt/gaelic) became "Craeg" in another gaelic language. I luv etymology:) *owned a baby name book before I knew what babies were* |
