Announcements: Important:HVEL will be relocating to a Proboard, which is currently under construction. It's been great here, hosted by runboard, and this was a great way for me to start out, but due to the more advanced, efficient, manageable, and interchangeable features, I have decided to move HVEL to there. This board will always be here, as a sort of museum to the past HVEL and the promise of the future.

They are proud and wilful, but they are true-hearted, generous in thought and deed: bold but not cruel; wise but unlearned, writing no books but singing many songs after the manner of children of Men before the Dark Years.

Re: Characters of Many Names

He had those two and then his Wntish name which we never found out.
Frodo had Frodo and Mr. Underhill.

Re: Characters of Many Names

Gandalf also had Gandalf Greyhame and Stormcrow. Wasn't he called Tharkun by the Dwarves or something like that?

I'm sure the beginning of Treebeard's name appears in "The Two Towers"

Re: Characters of Many Names

Hm... Aragorn and King Edward I were both called Longshanks by their detractors. (However, Aragorn wasn't needlessly cruel in later years of his reign.)

Aragorn was called Longshanks by Bill Frny whilst heading out from Bree.
