Worldbuilding Wednesday 3/14/18: The Lord of the Things, Part II

Eowyn bitchslaps the Captain of the Nazgul

Here we are moving on to more characters in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, with more variations. So hypothetical Freudno Buffins of Buff End can have brave-hearted companions like Gjori the Dwarf and Laegolach the Elf.

There are other Tolkien name generators, of course. Most of them, to my eyes at least, work on the syllable or phoreme principal, Chinese-menu style — pick one from Column A, one from Column B, one from Column C.

Here’s a few:

Dragon’s Mark Name Generator
Tolkien names are toward the bottom. Includes Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Orc, and swords.
Examples (Dwarves): Gloli, Rosin, Glogan, Magnar, Hignus

LOTR Race Name Generators from Fantasynamegenerators.com
More racial names, including Balrog and Maiar
Examples (Maiar): Kilénd, Suawam, Nenmainde, Ruanor, Sólmume

Ent name generator, from Seventh Sanctum
Treebeard-type generators are few and far between, which is why this one is nice.
Examples: Beardtrunk, Birchcrown, Brownlock, Craftwillow, Madthicket, Weedlock

Sindarin Elf Name Generator
Very useful one here, utilizing the actual Sindarin language as Tolkien would have intended. Lists can tweaked by gender, age, locale, and other details.
Examples: Duirronis, Forobes, Tathardis, Cíchanar, Laerguldir 

Age of the Ring Translator
This one gives multiple Middle Earth names based on your own name.
Example:

If you were a Hobbit, your name would be Frebo Proudfoot
and if you were a (male) Man, your name would be Laddyn
and if you were an Elf, your name would be Isil-Gar
and if you were a Dwarf, your name would be Tosil
and if you were an Orc, your name would be Gadash
Your nearest Tavern might be called The Orange Necromancer
and your sword would be called Glamallos
