The name game(help?)

Post by Tolly_Paikea » Tue Sep 16, 2014 1:12 am

So in lieu of my Zebra pair having a baby(1 so far)TODAY.... I realized my pair don't have names!

I've had them since last spring and I've not named them yet! I know... bad mummy right?


Anyone want to help me name them?

I'm hoping to go with a lord of the rings theme(ether character names or names of places, or words in a language of middle earth)

I like the name "Erebor" for my male but I'm open to suggestions!

Current clutch: Celebdil/Erebor
~Glanduin~ hatched 10/29/14

Okay, I looked up LOTR names, and I like Faramir and Arwin (I like Erowin as a variant of Arwin.)

I think Shire would be a cute name too! (Boy)

I should have mentioned I'm going for lesser used names, I like Arwen and even Eowyn(both neat characters) but I think I want to go with less common names

I also really really like Faramir but I think I am going to go with Erebor for my male

so I just need help for my girl's name, perhaps a place, like Lothlorien but not quite such a mouthful

I like the idea of Shire for a baby(if any survive), and Bree(town) would work well too, or maybe it should just be regions(Shire, Rohan, Gondor, ect.) for the babies?

I've decided on Celebdil for my girl.

I had a brain fart and forgot that Erebor is a mountain(the lonely mountain)

so I gave her the name of one of the misty mountain range's peak.



The are the foundations of middle earth, I'm thinking river/water names should be next(followed by regions--> towns--> ect.)


Time to name baby #1! (goes to look at river/water names)

I'm thinking Anduin for the baby, it's the biggest/longest river in middle earth and it flows between Celebdil(misty mountains) and Erebor(the lonely mountain)

shortened it could be Annie for a girl or Dune for a boy
