Thread: Your help please, 'Name Generator'.
Planet Tolkien is archived and no longer updated, but the forums remain browseable. We have established a Telegram group for old and new visitors to stay connected and discuss all things Tolkien.
There's a couple posted in one of the forums I think Tazzy, but I can't remember which one of hand...
I posted two somewhere.... and here's a personality test:
http://www.hobbitlore.com/personality/index.php
I like this one... said I was Eowyn (which when it comes to relating to female characters in LOTR probably fits...)

There are quite some at thebarrow-downs.com. You can find your Orc, Elven, Hobbit, Dwarf name there. Those are really cool. Don't know if you can download them, though. 
I turned out to be Frodo. Huh?

What Taz is looking for, is one he can download and incorporate into our main web site, rather than just linking to another site.

Taz, maybe you could email the people at the barrow-downs or somewhere else they have a name-generator and find out where they got theirs...

Uhuh. You can't download it then, can you? It's a cool thingie, really! :smoke
On the personality test it turns out I'm Frodo
Frodo Baggins, Son of Drogo
With many acquaitenances, Frodo is deeply attached to a few people, like Bilbo, Aragorn, Gandalf, and Sam. His high ethics come out in his treatment of Gollum and Saruman. Frodo has pity on Gollum and believes that change can occur.
You have a strong personal morality. You are committed to relationships and their growth. You tend to be an idealist, believing the best of the world around you. Time alone is important and solitary activities refresh you. You have a tendency to introspection. While providing compassion and being considerate, you may have the tendency of being soft-hearted or even "too emotional" You like keeping your options open. Closure is probably not one of your strong suits.
The Orcs display the evil side of this personality with their lengthy torture methods.
Traits: Empathic, benevolent, looking to the future. On the dark side you could be sadistic
hmmmmm, I quite like that! (even the sadistic part...hehehe!)

I went to one. I guess i'm like Legolas. It said
"You are most like Legolas, Son of Thranduil. Legolas knows his way around in the world, with a keen understanding of nature. He is often oblivious to the pain and fatigue of his activities."
Yeah.

I believe what Taz was looking for, was a program that could be incorporated into our Website, rather than a link to another site where you click to run the program on their site.
