I have been a big fan of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien for many years.  As I have already started posting some Tolkien related stuff, I figured I would go ahead and set up a place to hold it all.

Names translated to Quenya

Below is a list of the translation and subsequent writing of my name into Quenya and written with Tengwar.  I did my folks, kids, sister and her family, but I'm only posting mine here.  The first is just my name written as-is using the Tengwar in English mode, followed by the translation.
