Reichiru Tomoe · Post by **Reichiru Tomoe** » Wed Aug 21, 2002 5:09 pm

Well, I am a big Sailor Moon fan. I went to a site that would change your name into Japanese. When I did it, they came up with reicheru. Well, one of the Sailor Moon characters are named Michiru, so I changed the "e" to an "i" because I liked it better. So that's where I came up with Reichiru.
Tomoe is actually the last name of my favorite character from Sailor Moon, Hotaru Tomoe. In all my RPGs I use the alias Reichiru Tomoe, so I thought I would carry it on into HOL! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Sirithien Luthitaviny · Wed Aug 21, 2002 5:42 pm

Well, the way I got my name is really easy! The "Siri" part is from my favourite Jedi from Star Wars. (She's in the books) The "thien" part I got from a "The Lord of the Rings" site called "barrowdowns.com". It has an Elvish name translater and the end of my name ended with "thien" So put that together and it's Sirithien! My last name I just sort of made up in my head!

Whee, my name's crazy. Nerissa means 'Sea Nymph', which I thought was very pretty (I love water...swimming and all ^^), and Acherin...is my poor attempt at being original by changing 'Acheron' (name of sorceress-person from Lloyd Alexander's series and one of the underground rivers that run in Hades in Green mythology) since it didn't sound right as a last name as it was. /happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

Ella Breck · Post by **Ella Breck** » Sat Aug 24, 2002 10:46 pm

I chose Ella as my first name because when I read the book "Ella Enchanted," I absolutely fell in love with it. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Breck is actually an Irish first name meaning "freckled", and as I'm partly Irish and rather freckled, I thought it would fit. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Post by **Piscis** » Mon Sep 09, 2002 5:25 pm

Mine is my zodiacal sign in Spanish, Pisces......

Pisces is a Water element, ruled by mystical Neptune! This sign is extremely receptive, nurturing, compassionate, and other-directed. As with Scorpio, we have to explore and probe to find out the depths of this water. Pisces feelings run very, very deep. A mutable nature endows Pisces with adaptable and unifying energy. These sensitive people are like the water that flows gently downstream, around the rocks and obstacles in its path. Pisces receptivity can translate into psychic energy. Pisces knows all and sees all but probably won't tell' all. The Fishes keep the secrets of the universe within and to themselves. Without balance, Pisces can sink into the whirlpool of emotion. This can bring out hidden fears and insecurities. Lack of ego-strength can make Pisces feel dependent and helpless. Then they can fall into the martyr trap. Pisces benefit by truthfully sharing their own difficulties, feelings, and need. They need to remember that they too have the right to receive all the help and support they are so used to giving! A happy, confident Pisces brightens the world and all our lives.

Ok, let's see... First of all, if anyone of you reading this are huge LOTR-fans and think I've got something wrong, please tell me. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

First, let's start with the last name, UndÃƒÂ³miel. This is the title and surname of Arwen, and usually given in the form "Evenstar".
The first name, TinÃƒÂºviel, means "nightingale", and is another name of LÃƒÂºthien, one of the fair elven females.

"As Beren looked into her eyes
Within the shadows of her hair,
The trembling starlight of the skies
He saw there mirrored shimmering.
TinÃƒÂºviel the elven-fair,
Immortal maiden elven-wise,
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glimmering."

There /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Hopefully the name I've chosen is quite unique.

Matthew Noctleigh · Post by **Matthew Noctleigh** » Mon Sep 09, 2002 10:07 pm

Well, mine comes with a story and everything. I'll post the story after I write why I picked this name.
Why I picked this name: Matthew comes from the kid off of Digimon, Matt. Noctleigh(my last name on HOL), descended from the Pokemon, Noctowl, but instead of "owl", put a "leigh" on there, and it means night something. I just don't know what. I get the nickname "Hew", because in the IRC Ravenclaw room, there was already a Matt, so they gave me the nickname "Hew", as in MattHEW. Hehehe. Ya get it. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Here's the story. (I hope it's not too many characters long)((I love making up stories, so if you need a good story, IM me on AIM(Digit J 15), or send me an e-mail([email protected]), and I'll see what I can do))

Ok.
Story time.
*looks around*
Years ago, a man walked the earth. This man had black hair, brown eyes, and went by the name Voldemort. Voldemort had not been his real name. He despised his real name, for his father, who had left him, had carefully bestowed it upon him.
* Anabelle sits down in a bean bag chair
*** Flea is now known as Flea-Chess
none Yahoo game, cant watch sorry
non*
Voldemort was different, however. He was a wizard. He had just graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was a fresh new wizard out in the world.
He had moved to a town in England called London. Voldemort got a nice paying job, and settled down.
His job, which was a delivery man, was a very strenuous job.
Flea-1 Ila-0
Sometimes he would have to deliver packages to people he didn't like. Sometimes, he would have to deliver packages to people he wouldn't want to leave. But one girl, he fell in love with.
Flea-2 Ila-0
ooohhhh he fell in love?
Voldemort visited this girl every day. She was a muggle, so explaining the fact that he was a wizard was going to be very hard.
mmm hmmm
Flea-3 Ila-0
He kept on telling himself that he would tell her, but he kept on postponing it. Year after year. They got married. They had a young boy also, and decided to name him Matthew.
Flea-3 Ila-1
Voldemort had gone back to his birthname, for the sake of the child. The boys full name was Matthew Jason Riddle.
*** Signoff: Conary (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
*** Conary ([email protected]) has joined channel #ravenclaw

thx
did I miss any of the story?
Flea-4 Ila-2
One day, Voldemort worked up the courage to finally tell Katherine(the muggle girl he had married) that he was a wizard.
Voldemort had gone back to his birthname, for the sake of the child. The boys full name was Matthew Jason Riddle.
*** Conary has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
*** Conary has joined #ravenclaw
The result was disasterous. She put on a pretty face, and concealed her fear, but late one night later that week, she collected Matthew from his crib, and ran. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew she wanted to be away from her husband.
Flea-5 Ila-2
thx Flea
Flea-5 Ila-5
Katherine found a farmer on the outskirts of London, and brought Matthew there. It wasn't even a month until Voldemort had found her.
And when he did, he showed no mercy. He had grown hate for all muggles alike for the actions of the girl.
So THAT"S why he's a psycho....
poor voldie
As for his son, Matthew, he let live. Matthew was the heir of Slytherin, and he could not betray his family line.
lol Ana
Flea-8 Ila-5
Flea-11 Ila-6
When the farmers came back from plowing the fields, they found Katherine dead. They didn't know why, because the autopsy came back that she was completely healthy. What's even stranger is that a family of 3 died the same way weeks afterwards.
The farmers kept Matthew for a couple of years, until he started showing signs of magic.
They thought he was a jinx, so they handed him off to an orphanage.
aww
poor matthes
*matthew
poor matthew... had to goto an orphanage...
He went from house to house, not knowing that he was a wizard, only knowing he was different.
Finally, a man named Dumbledore had taken him, and given him to a family of wizards who had recently had a stillborn.
Matthew was 9 at this time.
Flea-14 Ila-6
The people, who had the surname of Noctleigh, explained everything about Matthew's history to him.
Flea-23 Ila-6
When he got his letter to Hogwarts, he was excited. For once in his life, he would be with people who were just like him.
Flea-28 Ila-6
CheckMate
Matthew sat in the entrance hall, dreading the sorting hat. A pair of twins with flaming red hair and who had just been sorted into Gryffindor had instructed Matthew to go into the great hall, and that he was the last person to be sorted, because he waited so long.
He sat on the stool, and the sorting hat was placed upon his head.
"Ahh. A descendant of Salazar Slytherin" said the sorting hat into Matthew's head. "But there is another feeling I get that's stronger than that. A feeling to want to learn. You know what you want to do in life, and with study, a way will open. So I should put you in"
"RAVENCLAW" the sorting hat yelled aloud.
yay! *cheers*
Matthew joined the Ravenclaw table, and he was much better off than he would have been in Slytherin.
The end, for now.

(((I think Flea was playing chess)))

Aurora Wood · Post by **Aurora Wood** » Tue Sep 10, 2002 11:33 pm

Aurora is either the Greek or Roman goddess of dawn and I thought it was very pretty. Plus, I can be nicknamed Rory. Wood is from Oliver Wood one of my favorite characters (Aurora Lupin doesn't flow as well). That is my story.

Peace, trust, and love what this world should be made of.

Rhiarian Brendon · Post by **Rhiarian Brendon** » Thu Sep 12, 2002 9:39 am

My name is a combination of two names:

Rhiannon Celtic/Welsh goddess made famous in the The Mabinogion, some information on her:

The Goddess Rhiannon, "Great Queen", is the other face of the Mother. She Who is the White Mare, the Queen of the Otherworld, whose Birds could soothe the souls of the most troubled of mortals. She is the Nurturing Mother, devoted to Her children, Who gently guides us that we may learn the lessons before us.

Arianrhod also a Celtic/Welsh goddess made famous in the poems of Taliesin, some information on her:

The Goddess Arianrhod, is one of the faces of the Mother Goddess. She was Mother to Llew (God of the Son) and Dylan (God of the Sea). Her Name literally means "Silver Wheel", and Her home, Caer Arianrhod, is none other than the Milky Way.

Brendon is just because I seem to have a thing for guys with that name...hence my fasination with Brendan Fraser and Nicholas Brendon.

gee that was a lot of information...you guys asked.

Ciao
Rhiarian

Post by **Lavinia Liadon** » Fri Sep 13, 2002 8:42 am

The family name "Liadon" means silverfrond (silver leaf) -> after a hero that saved our village during a fierce battle back in middle-earth. (He had silvery white hair)

"Lavinia" is a female name given to every first daughter in the Liadon family -> after the hero's mother who died during the battle.

Now the history of my ancestors goes back to hundreds of years ago and it would take me at least a day to explain everything, so right now this will have to do. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
