Reviews for History of a Name

This is really nicely done. You cover so many aspects, and stages of his life, and you manage to include some of the other related names in a couple of stanzas. Great work!
(And I don't often like poetry, either!)

This is an intriguing idea, and a well-written poem. Identity is so closely tied with name, and Aragorn has had many names indeed. I would have liked a verse about "Aragorn," which was his true name, after all. A line or two about "Longshanks" and "Stick-at-Naught," which were also names applied to him, would have been nice, too, but this is still a very enjoyable poem. Thank you for writing and posting it. Sincerely, Darkover

Beautiful idea and poem! You really tell the history of his life through the names, that are aligned chronologically. You could add a stanza about Aragorn between Estel and Strider, about how the name was revealed to him, together with his destiny. And maybe I would switch Strider and Thorongil, from the chronological point of view.

I love the lines /The rock of a lost people/ and /Humble, never forgetting/. Yes, that's Aragorn!

Beautifully written and spot-on with regards to Aragorn's character!

Well-done

Wow, you've read the book. I think you cover and interpret all Aragorn's different aspects really well. I especially like the last verse, where i tshows he hasn't forgotten his humble beginnings.

ACE!
