He is half-elven, as was his father Earendil, and his mother Elwing was also not 100% Elf. Elrond's mother and father pretty much saved Middle-earth when they petitioned the Valar (the "gods") to end the mayhem of Morgoth (Tolkien's Satan). Elrond and his brother Elros (first King of the Numenoreans) were given the choice of whether they wanted to be Elves or Men. Elrond chose Elves, and Elros, men.

Speaking of usernames, why is there a 12 in yours?

I've always wondered about numbers in usernames, usually birthdates though.

Well...Duffy was the name of my 'Wire-haired Fox Terrier' that I had as a kid and '12' is just part of my 'E-mail' users name as there happened to be 11 other Duffys before me.

"Christopher was always much concerned with the consistency of the story and on one occasion ... interrupted: 'Last time, you said Bilbo's front door was blue, and you said Thorin had a golden tassel on this hood, but you've just said that Bilbo's front door was green, and the tassel on Thorin's hood was silver'; at which point Ronald exclaimed 'Damn the boy!' and strode across the room to make a note."

I only picked Gandalf because that alias is far more recognizable than Mithrandir.

The story behind the name - interesting.

Just giving him some good-natured ribbin'.

Same reason I picked Radagast over Aiwendil.

Gandalf, from 'Gandr (staff) + alf (elf)
Original name: Olorin
Also known as: Mithrandir (Grey + pilgrim), Tharkun, Incanus, Greyhame, and ... Stormcrow

One of my favorites is Iarwain Ben-adar, the name given to Tom Bombadil by the Elves (meaning: Eldest and Fatherless)
