DISCLAIMER: I have neither read nor watched The Lord of the Rings.
WARNING: I refuse to provide a translation of the following paragraph. Do so yourself. (Sindaron isn't a misspelling.)

Haryan nólë i lambessen quendiva; nát alcarinquë ataqui Tolcieno, ar hanyanyet ú parmaryaron! (Ananta hlarin alcarento yando.) Apárien rimbë ontaina tengwestar, ar Quenya ná i ammaira, i lambë Sindaron i allinda.

I've spent a little time (laughs at the understatement) researching Tolkien's languages, which also include the languages of men, dwarves, orcs, ents, ar i Valar. From a purely linguistic standpoint, as a matter of fact.

[December 2017: Let the seal be broken, and the (only two) misspellings rectified. The Quenya above translates to, "I have knowledge of the tongues of the elves; they are brilliant constructions of Tolkien, and I know of them without his books! (Though I hear of the brilliance of them also.) I have learned about a large number of constructed languages, and Quenya is the most splendid, and the tongue of the Grey Elves the most beautiful."]

My Hobbit name is Frappi 'Deepdelver' Rumble of Nobottle. facedesk
My Elven name is Myryan Evenstar. Does that mean I'm related to Aragorn??
My Dwarfish name is Segan, King under the Mountain. I'm a king??
My Human name is Mallyn Goatleaf. No, it's Nicolas.
My Wizard name is Sharkey the Great. Wait, unless I'm mistaken, does that mean I'm Saruman??

I don't know how accurate that generator is… For one thing, the name is "Generator", rather than "Translator". The names don't look very authentic, either. There is just no way that the name "Nwryan" can fit into any elvish phonology that I know of. (That was their generation for Caleb. But everyone knows that my name is Huon, or Hûon.)
I can't say conclusively, but I'm pretty sure its just making up stuff. (Although if you try the same name twice, you will get the same thing.) Sorry, but that's what I think.

You're very likely right. I once looked up my name on an authentic generator, and it was Turwaithion; obviously this generator is not quite entirely accurate. :)

Even that isn't entirely accurate. They even say that they add endings to a lot of the names. In the case of Turwaithion, the ending -ion was added. "Victory-people" is actually translated "Turwaith".

When I add my last name…

My Hobbit name is Fredo 'the Magnificent' Pitcher of the Bree. I'm a Hobbit in Bree?
My Elven name is Cwryan Dark Elf. Aw, I'm a Dark Elf?
My Dwarfish name is Gloinus, King of Durin’s Folk. Again, a king! Cool.
My Human name is Sircyn of the Oghor-hai. That sounds like an Orc name!
My Wizard name is Eönwë the Fool. facedesk

Sorry. I was in a goofy mood yesterday, and I'm not sure why I said that. Probably just to be funny, but I think I took it a little far there. :)
