Hahaaa! Poor guy, no wonder he usually went by "Celeborn."

That, along with "Wetwang," is probably Tolkien's most unfortunate proper name, ever.

Although not in the same league as Teleporno and Wetwang, "Argon" always gets a chuckle out of me.

Such a...noble moniker. *rimshot*

I'm sorry. I really am.

Such a...noble moniker.

No need to apologize. I'm not very reactive.

ROTFLOL!!!

I guess that even Tolkien realized that Teleporno was not a good name!

[pandemonium-213.livejournal.com]

Making fun of that moniker never gets old. Never.

It is one of those things that is custom made for jest and jibes. Got to feel for the poor guy, maybe his parents really didn't care what they called him.

FIFY. ;^)

This will never get old.

It's an ancient, almost petrified chestnut, but at least it's not too twee.

LOL! It really is very unfortunate.

Or, I suppose you could say "fortunate" that JRRT decided on using the other version in LotR. In spite of his skills with language, over some things he could be remarkably clueless.

Heh. Indeed!

*although based on Elvish constructs, "Teleporno" makes sense.

Poor thing haha.

Celeborn does fall more pleasingly off the tongue, I must say! Heh!
