Yes, I need a new name, and I would be happy if it is an elvish name [: But it doesn't have to be that.
I am not good at the elf language, but I would like if somebody could help me translate some words for me.

Hope -
Faith -
Angel -
Heavenly -
Fallen -
Killed -

I am new in here, but I hope I can get some help [:

This might help as a start: a couple of Sindarin words...

Quote:
'Have ye then no hope?’ said Finrod.

'What is hope?' she said. 'An expectation of good, which though uncertain has some foundation in what is known? Then we have none.'

'That is one thing that Men call 'hope,' said Finrod. 'Amdir we call it, 'looking up.' But there is another which is founded deeper. Estel we call it, that is 'trust.' It is not defeated by the ways of the world, for it does not come from experience, but from our nature and first being.'

JRRT, Athrabeth Finrod Ah Andreth



Estel (both Quenya and Sindarin actually) might already be taken however :)


And Amdir might seem masculine, but it does not actually include the same element as Mithrandir (-(n)dir) in any case.

Er... few errors there.

Bronwethiel is nonsense. Bronwe is the word you were looking for. A good way to make it feminine would be to add -(n)dis (woman of marriageable age) or -(n)des (woman) to the end of it, making Bronwenis and Bronwenes.

On Estel, there's a lot more suffixes you could add.
Esteleth -Hope/Trust (estel+-eth)
Estelil -Hope/Trust (estel+-il)
Estelien -Daughter of Hope/Trust (estel+-ien)
Esteliel -Daughter of Hope/Trust (estel+iell)
Estelwen -Hope/Trust Maiden (estel+gwend)
Estelneth -Hope/Trust Girl (estel+neth)
Esteldis -Hope/Trust Bride (estel+dîs)
Esteldes -Hope/Trust Woman(estel+dess)
Estelbes -Hope/Trust Wife (estel+bess)

Valadhiel is nonsense too. In Sindarin, you could translate "angel" as one of the Powers, the term for which is "Balan". Then add a gender suffix/word.
Balaneth -Female Power (balan+-eth)
Balanel -Female Power (balan+-el)
Belenil -Female Power (balan+-il)
Balanien -Daughter of a Power (balan+-ien)
Balaniel -Daughter of a Power (balan+iell)
Balassel -Power Girl (balan+sell)
Balangwen -Power Maiden (balan+gwend)
Balaneth -Power Girl (balan+neth)
Balandis -Power Bride (balan+dîs)
Balandes -Power Woman (balan+dess)
Balames -Power Wife (balan+bess)

Or in Quenya:
Valë -Female Power (vala+-ë)
Valië -Female Power (vala+-ië)
Valawendë -Power Maiden (vala+wendë)
Valanis -Power Woman (vala+nís)

"Talant" is an active verb. "It/He/She fell"... but it's a really questionable reconstruction when we already have words for "fallen". Dannen in Sindarin and Lantaina in Quenya.

"-belth" Also nonsense. Where are you getting these? For slain I suggest the adjective "Dangen" for Sindarin and "Nanca" or "Nahtaina" for Quenya.
