Naming

[kiedtl]

"Bureaucrat" was supposed to be a placeholder name until a (subjectively) better one could be found.

Criteria:

• Ideally easy to type/spell
• Ideally related to Silmarillion, esp. the ones less represented in pop culture. Silmarillion needs more love!
• Short
• Shouldn't conflict w/ other projects, esp. PLT/compiler related
• Should allow for a family of related names

Ideas:

• Ainur (already taken by a utility by @ xproto)
  • Family of names: same as Maia
• Maia (also taken, too bad)
  • Family of names: Mairon, Eonwe, Olorin, Melian, Osse, Uinen
• Sith (copyright issues?)
  • Family of names: Vader/Sidious/etc
• Laurelin/Telperion (hard to spell?)
  • Family of names: Nimloth, Glingal, Galathilion, Celeborn
• Durin
  • Thror, Narvi, Nain, Dain, etc
• Finwe/Olwe/Elwe
  • Family of names: any of their children/brothers/etc
  • Bonus: allows me to be pretentious and spell it with a ë

Alternatively, I could stick with Uxn naming conventions and just make up a name. Beus? Orthire? Svast? Vanag?

Finwë it is.

I did like Laurelin/Telperion, and will probably use them in a related project.
