Mine is a translation of my real name from the name translator here on CoE.
Doll is Sindarin for English dusky, dark and the wen is the feminine.

Oselle is apparently a translation of my English name 'Ruth', and means 'female friend' (man that sounds bad - let me clarify, a FRIEND who is female, not male. get it?)
Elentari, as you all know, means star queen:heart:

A perdiful name, if a don't say so myself!

In Sindarin, my name is:

Parf - herdir
Book - Master

Parfheider? Meh. Doesn't sound all that hot.

In Quenyan, my name is:

Parma - tur
Book - Master

Parmatur... not much better.

my elvish name is Ithilion which (and correct me if i'm wrong here) breaks down into Ithil, the moon, and the suffix -ion meaning son of. so my name literally means "Son of the Moon"

My name cirdaneth means the shipwright's heir because my late husband began his working life as one. He, though no longer with us, I refer to as calar meaning lamp.

I got my username from the Elvish Name Database here at the CoE.

It is Sindarin:
Nív: is said to mean 'face'
faen: is said to mean 'white'

So, put together it means 'white face'. Since I have a very fair complexion, I thought it would be a fitting name. And I like the way it looks, as well as the way it sounds, that is if I am pronouncing it correctly (I'm not very good at Sindarin, unfortunately ).

Anyone know the correct pronunciation of Nívfaen? If you do I'd love to know just so I can be sure I know how to say it correctly .

My name (Otharnís is the original, but I couldn't use ´ so it had to be Otharnis) means "Warrior Woman". And, it's Quenya

Nareliel is a name of my own invention using Quenya.

nar - fire
el - star
iel - maid

Hence, it should translate to Fire Star Maid. At least, I hope that is what it means!

Arodiel is a Sindarin name. Arod- means noble, and -iel means daughter. So Arodiel means Noble Daughter. ^_^

I found out my elven name after I joined, so it's not my user-name. Humph. Anyway, My Sindarin name is Eregwen, and my Quenyan name is Ercassë, and they both mean "Holly Tree". Pretty.
