Okay, but the thing about paying for safenames is a fascinating example of something people at a fairy college should honestly keep in mind: difference in perceived value! To the Archivist, and possibly objectively by definition, safenames are worthless. Just strings of sounds and syllables, meant not to mean. But to the recipient, who either cannot think of a safename when they need one or simply wants one specifically from you, of course it has value! You're giving them something they wanted/needed! Hence the gifts in gratitude.
Anyway, the Gentry like to play around with this concept like shady antiques dealers, so always be careful of letting them know how much you want something.

there is something soft and tender and magical and intimate and private and loud and quiet and feather like and honeyed and breathtaking and happiness tasting when someone calls you with your name. it's like saying, i know who you are. i see you and im talking with you. it's you. i call you. i say your name and youre here with me. even when far away. your name follows me. it's you. i see you. i call you

Chrissenzia is a lovely name! Does it mean anything?
It *is* a lovely name but would not have fit me at all! The one they chose instead worked far better (and I loved it so much I did keep it as my second name when I changed names as part of transitioning. My first name is now the one they'd have given me if I'd been assigned a different gender at birth! (this happened by coincidence btw. I was looking for a name, really liked this one and was like HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT. And my mum, tearing up, went 'it's what we were planning on calling you when we didn't know what gender you were gonna be yet'. :D).
I think it was based on Chrysanthemums, one of my mum's favourite flower (plus, my birthday is at the end of December, and it's a winter flower :)).

on names:
Morifinwë Carnistir Fëanárion is his Quenya name, Quenya being his mother-tongue. Morifinwë means “black/dark Finwë” (Finwë was his grandfather; they all have -finwë names). Caranthir has his grandfather's black hair, likely the source of the name. Carnistir means “red-face,” for his skin tone, inherited from his mother. (Note: I interpret his skin as a warm/red brown, not pale with flushed/blushing cheeks.) Fëanárion means “Fëanáro’s son.”
Moryo is a familial nickname, short for Morifinwë. Ask for permission to use this if you’re not related to him. You’ll regret it, otherwise.
Caranthir Fëanárion is the Sindarin (Þindarin) version of his name, with “Caranthir” being the translation over of “Carnistir.” (Sindarin/Þindarin was spoken by elves in Beleriand and is still spoken by some elven groups in Middle-earth in the Lord of the Rings timeline.)
Caranthir the Dark is something of an epessë (a sort of nick-name given as a name of honor or to describe some unusual/noteworthy trait), which might have been rendered something like Caranthir Dúath in Þindarin.
Colþegn Nihthelm is the Old English version of his name. “Col” has a meaning of “coal,” a reference to either his dark hair or his dark nature, or both – or just possibly to the fire of his spirit, related to his father’s, but less bright and more darkly smoldering. “þegn” has many uses, but in poetry is a complimentary way to refer to warriors. “Nihthelm” means “nightshade.” In headcanon, this is a a name given him by the Haladin. (Note: that’s not a letter P in Colþegn; it’s a thorn.)
Cantëa means “fourth” and is a name he has adopted in some of his reborn verses; he is the fourth son of Fëanáro.
Huinur is a male name derived from the Quenya word “huinë,” which means “nightshade” or “deep shadow.” Another name he sometimes chooses to go by in some reborn verses.
Cary or Carey are modernized/ anglicized versions of his name, by which he might go in a modern verse.
