The nine...

[Haszor]

So my sister and I were wondering, where the nine ever named for sure?  Neither of us can remember.  Thanks

Khamûl seems to be the only one named by Tolkien, corresponding to Ulaire Attea, The Easterling (article on the names here).

of course they were named:

frodo
sam
merry
pippin
gandalf
legolas
gimli
boromir
aragorn

Not what I was talking about.  But thanks anyways

Nope, they were never named except for Khamul. Though MERP and MECCG did a nice job at inventing names for them, like Er-Murazor (the witch-king), Akhorahil, Adûnaphel and Indur.

[Ringbearer]

The MECCG names:

Adunaphel
Akhorahil
Dwar of War
Indur Dawndeath
Hoamurath of Dir
Khamul the Easterling
Uvatha the HorseMan
Ren the Unclean
The Witch-King

Wonder if this Ren fellow minded being called "the Unclean."

He's dead, what's he gonna care about?
I'm more curious to that Horseman guy, was he a centaur of sorts?

So let's just all make fun of MECCG! why not? naah just kidding. But I do find the game awesome.

And Ringbearer, awesome you play this. Oh, and I'm pretty sure it's Dwar of Waw, not War.

You're right.

Uvatha the Horseman was called like that cause he hailed from the horsepeople of Khand.

Decipher had an article on the naming convention early in the Fellowship days.  It basically boiled down to: creating a name would require approval from the franchise, and borrowing a name could have trademark problems, so they settled by naming all non-Witch King Nazguls as "Nazgul One" "Nazgul Two" etc.  Afterwards they converted them to Elvish so they didn't sound so silly.
