Which of these two names sounds better? (Choose 1)
* Three Towers Haven - 36% (15)
* Neld'baradr - 64% (27)

 

um ok what was that for?

 

For a name of a place. More or less the same meaning both, the second one doesn't include 'haven'. Just the sound matters. So, which one?

Maybe he wants to make a website. I voted for the first. Don't know, what the 2nd means, so I didn't bother.

EDIT:
Eze hits herself
Idiot me.

i went for the second one as i didnt know what it meant but thought it might be similair and it sounded better to me

 

Not website. Or not really. A forum. Heheh.

 

O on what?

 

Fantasy, rpg, d&d et caetera. Creativity as well, general discussion, things related to fantasy... As for example related historical issues...

Neld'baradr is just 'Three Towers'

Should be Nelde Baradr or jointly written, but doesn't sound good. So it's Three Towers Haven or Neld'baradr either. Also considered Chateau des Trois-Tours, but I doubt anyone would enjoy the latter, so I didn't include that into the poll.

o since i only now 1 languge i followed very little of that past the first part.

 

Hah, I can't view the results w/o voting. How's the vote, dear someone?

 

here
Three Towers Haven 60% (3)
Neld'baradr 40% (2)

 

thank you. good I didn't vote randomly to check that then

Gosh, I'll have to wait. I intended to open the forum today, but on the registration site doubts overcame me...

 

No problem. Yea i would wait till more voted. at least enough to get a lrge gap between the two. problem is only you me and a few others are acually posting/voting today.

 

Right. I posted at Interplay also, but they're all commenting and not voting.

edit: please include current vote division each time you post because that's the only way I can get the vote w/o voting myself.

1st choice: 5
2nd choice: 7

I think the haven one rolls off the tongue easier. Just me, though.

 

I voted for the second one, sounds more mystical... and stuff. Go with that one!
Poodle has spoken!

 

Hmm.. thanks. And a new question: I planned that to be Invision Board and hosted on Invision Free. Anyone knows a better place to host a forum with no knowledge of PHP and/or SQL needed? What's also important is that they shouldn't be too restrictive about a degree of adult content more or less like we have here at SP.

 

Is it supposed to be elvish? If so your missing an 'e' and adding an 'r'
The second one is much, much more interesting

 

'R' is for plural, Hellfire . There are many possibilities: 'ea' 'oo' 'or' 'ie' 'io'.

'Rim' sounds better but is for great numbers only or for denoting great respect...

And yes, I'm missing the 'e'. I substituted that with an apostrophe, like in contractions, from nelde baradr to Neld'baradr.

I'm now thinking about that 'rim' possibility, but other plural forms don't sound nice (the choice is up to the one who makes the plural ). 'oo' is stupid, 'io' is too, 'ie' doesn't match, 'or' sounds too Spanish, 'ea' not really that... So either that sorry 'r' that looks Arabic/Babylonian or the 'rim' that looks Hebrew.

Anyway, I assume more people are in favour of the elven version, so feel free to comment on it.

*bows* At you service.
I'm trying to learn elvish with it's proper characters, it makes little sense, but still more sense than english
I always use ea or ie for plural
