I have a good idea what eragons true name is. If you remember Angela she said that he is one of the few who can control thier fate. Think about it his true name might be Domina abr Wryda: Dominance of Fate because depending on his choices he has the power to end the dragons, elves, and everyone against galbatorix or kill him and bring peace to Alagaesia. Also it was intersting how he picked up that paticular book at Joed`s house. Brom said so. Also what murtagh said that galby knows thier true names i think he meant His and Thorn`s names not eragon. Just think it makes sense that his true name be Domina abr Wryda: Dominandce of Fate.

Wow, that's the best theory I have heard of in a long time--and that would be a cool name, too!

ya its totally possible--
hope cp thought of that lol

Ya me and one of my friends were trying our different names one time and none of them fit. Than when we went to his house for lunch i told him about the theory i posted as his true name. It completely fits him as well and i found everything i needed in 2 chapters of eragon.

I'm sory but i think it will be somthing else. It probly will have to do somthing with fate thow

nice theory

hmm it's possible, i think it's something to do with fate. but on the other hand, i think his true name has something to do with brisingr as well. um usually how long is a true name? 3 words? maybe it's fate combined wif fire

I read from another forum that it could be brisingr abr wryda which means fire of fate or something like tat.

i like the theory that it's domia abr wierda but i don't think it is. coz if it was then would everyone who had tha bok be able to control eragon. and when (i think) brom said the name of the book why didn't eragon have a reaction, coz when eragon said sloans true name he flinched and said it felt as though someone was walking on his grave.

I really don't think it's that because then he would have said his name to the shade and it would have been able to controll him. The shade would have also known as soon as he had said Eragon's true name. If you've read Brisingr then remember when Eragon guessed Sloan's true name and Sloan sort of shiverred?

jeod in book 3 says the title and eragon doesn't give a reaction

that is a realy good theory Volke i had never thought of Angelas fortune
telling a part of his name and that would be a cool name and it fits him too

thats the best theory i have ever heard. i totally agree now

I think that it can't be that because he told that name to Durza and if it was Eragon's true name then he would have been controlled by Durza. He would have felt something click inside of him.

I agree with Jaypaw14. That's not his name, or else he would of done what the shade asked.

its a good idea for his true name but i reckon c.p will have come up with something more refined.

Yeah. Like maybe.... Seeker of the hidden path. OK, that's dumb, but the only name I can thing of.

I think that glaby knows the name of the ancient launguage (The raz'ac said that he knows the name but failed to say witch) eragons true name would be something more noble, consid that he is the most honored dragon rider in the land, and true names seem to rely on over peoples reactions to him, as Elva said, Jeod in book 3 says the title and eragon doesn't give a reaction.

i think its things that sum up a person like agresive,happy and defensive and not something like a title aka dominace of fate.

exactly thats the kind of thing i mean it seems a bit silly that your true name would sound like the title for a book

i think it will be somethin else. Sorry, your poll ended B4 I could vote. But I think it might be Brisingr or something like that cuz has anyone noticed how CP mentions everytime someone says Brisingr? Eragon, Rhunon, Brom.......... He mentions all of them. Then he makes Eragon name his new sword Brisingr. That is what I think it is.

it's definatly a repeated theme but i think it would be silly to have brisingr as name or part of your true name

It probably isn't Dominance abr Wyrda though. Even though Jeod was saying it as the title of the book, it should still have an effect on him. I think it will have 'wyrda', fate, in it but not 'dominance'.
You might be right about 'Brisingr' but at least notice how many times it says 'brisingr' in the books. One is even named Brisingr!

yeah but i think c.p knows itss going a little to far, i do agree that wyrda will probaly be in it

Something fate cause the fate of Alagaesia rests in his hands. it will be Eragon that finally casts down the evil tyrant himself! Yay!

But it doesnt rest just in his hands what about murtagh and greenie

I think it has something to do with leaving.
He will leave Alagaesia someday...

yes but remember that his name could be something to do w/ the word BRISINGR. in brisingr where eragon gets his new sword one of the reason brisingr keeps catching on fire is that eragon found its true name or he embbed it with some of him and oromis also said it could be part of his true name and eragon thinks the same thing. but thats my thought.

Yeah but when he says brisingr he only says part of his name.

yea, now u say that. it makes sense, gd thinkin.

true but if brisingr was part of his true name wouldn't eragon have a reaction bc he says part of his true name?

kk but still do u think that his true name could almost match the true name of the AL

ok but wat about it being connected to Eragon 1 true name if u remember brom says that eragon's name is very powerful.

in eragon brom says to eragon that he carrys a powerful name so could it be close to eragon 1 ture name? bc eragon bromsson carrys the same first name? also eragon bromsson and eragon1 did alot of things similuar when they both found thier dragons egg. and now they look alike to. and i think that they r related somehow. so that could also effect his true name as well.

true but they did the same thing they kept the eggs which is huge

but think about this wat happens if eragon was an elf and lived in Du Weldenvarden? and was born w/ magic running through his blood?

ok then wat r ur oppions on wat it could be?

true but he may need his true name to defeat galby and end the war once and for all.

We have no idea what he will need to open the VOS or the ROK it might be that the ring aren is the key. There is no proof that the Eragon's true name will ever be needed by him for any endeavour that he is likely to undertake in Book 4 except that of him searching for his true name.

Which has to mean his true name.

i think the theory is good but it is most likely something else.
i also think there was something about it being really hard to guess ones own name they had to go on some really long quest to find it and understand them self completely.....this may be the reason eragon leaves, to go find his true name

thats the only book left they were all destroyed by gallby
so it is actually quite possible that it is his name

maybe i should go read the books again its been awhile
seems like i missed some stuff
