Uses of LOTR Names......

[Furry-footed Flatfoot the Hobbit]

Well as I was feeding my 13 Betta fish a stupid question popped into my head! Here it goes....12 of the 13 fish I have are all named after LOTR characters (Frodo, Samwise, Bilbo, Strider, Arwen, Gandolf, Saruman, Legolas, Smeagol, Meriadoc, Pippin, and Gimli) and I was wondering if any of you named your beloved pet after any of the characters and if so which one. Even if you don't have a pet...If you did who would you pick to name it after and what kind of pet would it be?? Or maybe you named your child after a character..LOL!! I promise I'll try not to come up with these crazy questions too often smilies/biggrin.gif

P.S. the 13th fish is named "Lady of the Lake" (I took that name from the King Author legend)

My dad used to have a dog named Frodo and I know someone with a horse named Shadowfax.

[Joy]

I don't have a pet named after LotR, but if I did, well it probably be a dog name Sam or Strider.

Now, if I had a horse, which I really want, she would be called Snowmane.

A child??? I don't know about that. I guess I like the name Lorien or Laurelin.

[Kettle of fish]

I remember in primary school, reading a book called 'The Great Gilly Hopkins', where the title character (Gilly) was named Galadriel.

[DarkRose]

My dad had a very good dog named Hobbit. He could leap over tall fences and would go in his doghouse when merely told to. He was great, or so my dad says. Alas, Hobbit the dog has already passed on.

I am surprised to find that I, currently, have no pets named after anything or anyone in LOTR! smilies/eek.gif My cat is named Seamus (No, not after the boy in Harry Potter. Seamus was born on St. Patrick's Day, so I thought it fitting to name him something Irish. smilies/tongue.gif) My two dogs are named Ginger and Pepper (I thought it was cute lol), and my turtle is named Donatello (after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! smilies/biggrin.gif).

If I ever get a new pet, the name will come from Tolkien, I assure you. smilies/wink.gif

[Aylwen Dreamsong]

When I was little, my dad got a cat for my mom on her birthday, and they both agreed to name it Gandalf, because he just looked like a Gandalf...He was kinda old (he hasnt died yet!! YAY) he likes to walk into other neighbors garages (and sometimes houses) so its like Gandalf when people say he meddles in everyones affairs. He is just...Gandalf!

For my sister and I, we got cats before my lotr interest, so we have a little cat (but hes almost 3) whos name is midnight, and another whose name is Gen Gen....(dont ask...long story) But!!!! We recently got two fishes who we named Eomer and Eowyn. The cats wont eat them, just watch them swim.

Next pet I get I might name Pippin.....*thinks to herself*

Gandalf must be sort of a common cat name... my cousin has this really ANCIENT cat named "Gandalf the Cat", in addition to "Gandalf the Istari". smilies/wink.gif My dog´s named "elena" "of the stars" ,which is Sindarin (figures). Does that count? I first wanted to name her éowyn, but I´m the only one in the family that´s read LotR, so that would have been sort of dumb for the rest... so she´s elena now. It tourned out it was the best name we could give her, ´cause she has this star-shaped mark on the forehead... oh well, guess that was boring for you guys, sorry

[Alatariel]

If I had a dog, I'd call it Samwise. If I had a pig, I'd call it Ham Gamgee (or possibly Spamwise Hamgee smilies/biggrin.gif). If I had a horse I'd call it either Asfaloth of Hasufel.
And as for children... I want to have a son and call him Beren, and a daughter called Luthien Tinuviel or Eowyn. Not sure how my future husband will feel about that though... oh wait, I wouldn't marry him unless he was as obsessed with LOTR as I was!

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

I acutally just got a cat yesterday & I named her (yes, her) Frodo. She's a beautiful Calico kitten.

My ex-roommate's cat was named Pippin, but we called him Pip!

[Rose Cotton]

We have cats that live in our barn and one day one of them had kittens! I wanted to name them all LOTR names but the rest of my family wouldn't let me. My mom was like "Galadreil?! What kind of a name is that?"

When I grow up and have my oun family I'll name my pets after LotR charicters and possibly my children.
If I have a daugter I could name her Tinuviel and just call her Tina for short.

[Bradley Roy]

No I don't have any pets named after LOTR characters. Darn. Although we did have a cat that reminded me of a Balrog, LOL (it got hit by a car!)
And you have to beleive this: at church the other day I saw on the bulletin this request for a guy named Aragorn. That guys is so lucky I think I shall be sick! It is totally not fair! His parents must have been LOTRFREAKS!! (my Dad likes the books but not that much! Anyway I sign all school papers "Strider" and say "Mellon" in front of closed doors. Seriously.
I'll have to name my first pet snake Wormtongue. Haha
Namaarie
Strider (or Elessar) If your wondering about my display name the correct spelling was already taken. I do know how to spell.

[Armadoin]

I was going to name me kitten Sauron, because he is SSSSOOOOOOOOO evil! smilies/evil.gif My mother wouldn't let me, she said it would scare people, so he's Inu, which means dog(and that doesn't freak people out? smilies/confused.gif ) I think I would like to name my future children Elvish names: they are much more elegant. Probably Arwen and Elros. smilies/smile.gif

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

The Ones Ring has taken Frodo!
OK, my cat, who I mention earlier, has developed a fascination with The One Ring on the end of my FOTR bookmark. I thought it was rather funny that a cat named Frodo would be possessed by this ring! I guess the name really does fit!

[Raefindel]

I have a Mother-in-law that I believe is Sauron, does that count? smilies/evil.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

I think I'll stick to more 'normal' names for my kids like Rose or Sam. Or I run the risk of my kids hating me and LOTR for ruining their lives smilies/biggrin.gif

[thalioniathiel]

I haven't checked this forum for a while and surfed in today...and really enjoyed reading these posts!
I don't have any pets right now, but I'd like to have a golden retriever and name him Samwise. I also want a cat...but I haven't come up with a name yet...might depend more on its personality than with the dog.

[gollum*elf*pup]

If I had another dog, I'd call it either Gollum or Mellonhead. smilies/biggrin.gif My friend has a horse named Pippin. (how cute!)

[ElanorGamgee]

I used LotR names for nicknames sometimes. I call my brother "Sam the Gardener" because the neighbors are always hiring him to mow their lawns and look after their gardens while they're away, plus a lot of his chores have to do with lawn work. There's a guy at my church who looks very much like Elijah Wood as Frodo, except that his hair is blond and he went and cut it short, so it doesn't look very curly anymore. We call him Frodo (There are a lot of LotR fans at my church; we plan to see TTT together on opening night.). My family was calling me Gandalf for a while. I guess they think I'm wise (boy, do I have them fooled smilies/biggrin.gif). Oh, and the college campus minister who leads the Bible study I attend reminds me of Peter Jackson, though I haven't told him so (he's also a LotR fan). And my brother and I refer to one of the members of the church I attend back home as Bilbo, because he kind of looks like him at the beginning of the movie when he's younger. Fun stuff smilies/biggrin.gif

Go here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=000398) for more on this subject.
I posted this topic months back I just couldn't remember what I titled it.

[Arwen Imladris]

Well, I don't have any pets but if I did I would give it a LOTR name. However, I do call my little bro a ghastly neekerbreeker sometimes. (yes I did steal that from Birdland) also sometimes I call him spawn of melkor or something like that smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/evil.gif

[Nevfeniel]

I don't have any pets w/ LotR names smilies/frown.gif, but in my speech class, we had to get 'married' and have kids, and I named the oldest boy Sam, and the cat Laurelin. Oh! And I wanted to name our 'daughter' Aerin, but so I wouldn't seem weird, I changed it to Eryn.

[Eglaladiel]

No, I don't hav a pet named after one of the characters, but since I am in love with horses and everything to do with them, if I had a foal I would name it Shadowfax.(I wouldn't change my horses name). I wanted to buy a horse earlier this year, but was sold! :-(

[Susan Delgado]

Fear not, Fair Maiden, young Sam is alive and well, though he stil refuses to give me any oranges.... smilies/smile.gif

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

Apparently Frodo's vet has read the books. When I took Frodo there for her first visit he came in the room and said, "Is this Frodo of the nine fingers?"
They all loved her and they mentioned that someone else that goes there has a cat named Gamgee smilies/smile.gif Perhaps Frodo and Gamgee need to meet!

[galadwen29]

well funnily enough my mum, sister and i were talking about pet names today after my mum and sis saw several rabbits at a store. the discussion rose to good names for them all samwise, merry, pippin, frodo, bilbo, legolas and strider. all because of their personalities. i would like to point out though that we are not going to get a rabbit! because we have an adorable golden retriever called monty- my nickname for him is samwise gamgee 'cos he so loyal, devoted and follows me around everywhere! smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/smile.gif

[DaughterofVana]

Of all the seriousness I can summon of my eighteen years (my opinions might change when I'm older or BE changed by the man in question... though I want to marry a Tolkien fan, you never know really--my mom wanted to marry a cowboy and she ended up with my dad) I was seriously thinking of naming my children after characters in LOTR. I don't think there's anything wrong with that--some may quote the teasing part of it ("Ooh, look, here comes 'Gay-lad-re-el!' Hahahahha!!) but I got teased, and my name is Rebecca. Kids'll find a way to get around anything--that's their nature, and I think that original names give people a sense of individuality. I love my middle name (it's Irene). For some reason all the combos I came up with were female, though--for the boys they usually consisted of James Taylor ____ and Robert Dylan ____ , but that's just me. smilies/smile.gif. I had them all figured out at one time, I wish I could remember them now. Avallone was one that I just had as the first name--female, Ava for short, like Ava Gardner--but I was always afraid that it would be confused with the fish. "Abaloney? Your name is Abaloney?" I think middle names would work out better, though, but that's just my opinion. Ava Elanor, or something.

Well, there's my two cents. smilies/smile.gif Do with it what you will.

-Vana

[Harmonica]

My son has a schoolmate called Bilbo. How cute is that! smilies/biggrin.gif He has another schoolmate called Twilight, that is of course not a LOTR name, but it sounds so beautiful.

[Kalimac]

I knew a girl in college named Laurelin, and we all thought it was very pretty. I'm not sure about naming kids after LOTR characters, though (at least the really well-known ones like Galadriel and Arwen and so forth - names like Laurelin would be better because they haven't got millions of people thinking of a movie actor when they hear them). I'm not against naming children after literary characters (for a while I was considering naming mine after characters in "Eugene Onegin", pretty sad, eh smilies/wink.gif) but I imagine it could be pretty hard on the child. It's one thing to be named "Catherine" because your mother loved "Wuthering Heights", because Catherine is a name independent of the book, so to speak - it isn't always associated with "Oh, Heathcliff! Heathcliff!". OTOH if your name is Bilbo or Frodo, those names only exist because of LOTR, and inevitably people would think of it, joke about it, think they're the first ones to ask "Hey, where's your ring" etc.

Pets, on the other hand, I'm all for. Our two cats now are Justinian and Theodora, since I've been wanting to use those names for cats since I was 16, but the next one will definitely be an Elvish name - they just seem very appropriate for cats, somehow.

[Arwen1858]

Well, we have 2 dogs, but Daddy named them, and I wasn't into LOTR then anyways. But I've already decided if I ever get a horse, it will be named Shadowfax, or maybe Snowmane if it happens to be white. I want a beagle, but I want to name it Porthos. I'm considering changing it to a LOTR name, but I'm not sure yet. If I got any other pets, they would be named after somebody from LOTR. I also want to name kids after LOTR characters, that is, if I get married and have kids!! I've seriously considered Lorien or Arwen, or one of many others. smilies/smile.gif
Arwen

[Diamond18]

Well, my family knows me for my weird cat names. We always get our kittens in pairs, the first pair was Cleopatra and Charlie, the second was Maketa and Rusty, then there was George and Antonio, and finally Bagheera and Rodney. Except for Charlie and Rusty, they were all named after someone. (If you want to know who, PM me. Hey, I'm always interested in where names come from, maybe you are too.)

Anyway, the next pair I am going to name Merry and Pippin. Most definitely!

As for kids...I like the name Samwise except that it means half-wit! Rats. Girls are easier to give weird names to, but boys are more touchy about that, so I wouldn't give my son a LotR name. But perhaps if I have a daughter I'll give her something Elvish...but I don't know what. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess.

[Laivine]

We've got two cats, which I tried to name Arwen and Aragorn. My brother and mother didn't approve though, I wonder why?! Hehe. I still call them that though, and my mum and brother calls them something so completely foolish that I'm not going to tell you! smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Meela]

if i had 8 fish, i would anme them Gil-Galad, Thranduil, Celeborn, Glorfindel, Elrond, Haldir, Isildur, and probably Legolas smilies/biggrin.gif or actually, Aragorn... ok, id have 9 fish

if i had a child a girl i would not give such a good name, like frodo (?! i surprised myself there as well...) or at all....

if a boy, id have to think hard, cos hes bound to get teased with a name like Gandalf... but Pippin would be ok cos there are kids called Peregrine...

[Arwen Imladris]

BTW charly, if you want to delete a post when you go to edit it, chech off the box that says delete post.

[Gayahithwen]

Hhhmmm.. I've not had any pets since my fish died three years ago. Lemme think.. I think it was called 'the ball' because it was round. ^_^ Hhhhmmm.. I wish I had a cat though.. Or possible a dog. If I had a cat I would name it something elvish (or possible dwarvish, to be original smilies/smile.gif). If I got a dog I would name it Khelek - that is, as long as GreatWarg doesn't protest against it..

Hhhhmmm.. children names, yes. If I ever get married and have children I would, of course, love to give them names from the books, preferably elvish. Naming children 'Maedhros' or 'Gil-Galad' might be a little bit cruel though, so I was thinking that perhaps the hobbit names would be best.. Merry, Pippin, Pearl, Diamond, Rosie, Sam... even though they do refer to LotR, not everybody will think about it at start (unless they are obsessed with LotR, like me)..

I have started to work on my own language, so I might just give my kids (that is, if I ever get any) names derived from that. smilies/smile.gif

*steps down fom soapbox and hides*

[Raefindel]

Gee, I feel left out! My cats names are Spumoni and Neopolitan. However, I do know a girl named Galadriel.

[Kaze]

I've got a cat called Mithwen! smilies/smile.gif Named here on these very message boards. (Not that my little sister can remember the name. She calls it 'Oot'.)

[TolkienGurl]

Well, my nickname is Sam! (my real name is Samantha, but don't tell anyone smilies/wink.gif )

[elfling]

I haven't named my daughter after LotR but I often refer to her as my hobbit.
I have 3 African clawed water frogs named Gollum, Smeagal and Deagel, the names fit them very well. We have a newly rescued kitten my daughter loves named Frodo and I occasionally foster animal so now i name them atleast temporarily after LotR. we have a Merry, Pippin, and Arwen.(all girls)

[Alcerin]

i dont have any real pets named after the characters, but i have a "pet" at neopets.com named Frodo_Merry_Pippin smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/cool.gif

[Lady_Galadriel]

7 of my cats are named after Lotr they are
samwize, pippin, gandalf, legolas, gollum, arwen, precious. and i just got another turtle and named it bilbo, and a prarie dog named frodo... the rest of my pets arent named after lotr on accounta i got them before i read lotr

[TolkienGurl]

Well, you certainly have a lot of animals! I'm allergic to just about everything, so we can't have any inside pets. smilies/frown.gif When I move out, (in like 2 years smilies/rolleyes.gif ), I'm going to get a hamster, though. Yay! I'll probably name it after someone in LOTR, but I'm not sure who.

[vanwalossien]

Well, I only have a dog and as she's an Icelandic Sheepdog we gave her an Icelandic name, but I love cats and I want four cats so that I can name them Pippin, Sam, Frodo and Merry.
If I have a daugter I could name her Tinuviel and just call her Tina for short. That's a good idea! And Laurelin is also good, it'll be Laura for short. There's so many beautiful Elvish names! Irene doesn't sound so interesting any more.. That was what I've wanted to name my daughter, if I even get one, name her after my mum.

Oh, one more thing. My name translated into Sindarin means Hiriel, so I often call myself Hiriel Vanwalossien. I've written that instead of my real name on papers I've handed in, and my teacher understand that it's me!

[FarathrimMaiden]

Well i wanna put my two cents in on this topic---

i have a horse named shadowfax (but he doesnt look anything like him)

my parents had a dog named pippen before i was born

I would name my daughter Rose, Lorien, or a normalish sounding elf name (so they dont hate me and lotr cuz that would suck)

I would name a son Sam or umm well thats the only one i would go with...but i would name him something like John or Christopher (Tolkien)
or i might name him after an actor in the lord of the rings( for example name him elijah instead of frodo so as to draw less attention to him, or Sean instead of Boromir, or Billy or Dominic those would all work)

[Peacepoet]

I do not have any pets that are named after LoTR characters. As for my children, I call my youngest Hobbit because of his small size and his habit of wanting two breakfasts a day.

[Arien]

We are getting a golden cat, and planning to call it Smaug The Golden....Smaug for short. All my rabbits are named after Alcohol....don't know why.

As far as childrens names go I might name my daughter with some elvish name or call he Arien because I love that name but not my son because there arn't many that sound good without sounding too weird, imagine calling him Finarfin or Legolas...it dosn't really work. Maybe Sam....

I know a girl called Starlina Varda Chase, which is kinda nice and I also know a girl called Arwen, but she gets teased a lot know since the movie has come out...I don't see why though I love the name.

[Merri]

I wanted to name my children (Whenever I had them) either: Frodo, Eowyn, Merry (with an I!!) or Ron (from Harry Potter), but when I told my best friend, he said they'd probably hate me for the rest of my life.

We'll see if Tolkien is still 'cool' by the time I have kids smilies/biggrin.gif

[arelendil]

I don't have a LOTR named pet, my dogs drummer and my squirrel is rabbies! don't know why!

If i ever find a husband that understands this LOTR thing and then have children... I'd love to follow elven tradition. The father names the child at birth, the mother later called the name of foresight. So then on the birth certificate the child could be Sarah but for school i'd get to name her! Probably would depend on the look and temper of the child. But i love the name Elwen, Dufea, Dulin, and other ones i forget! that's Star maiden, night spirit and dusk singer! I don't think i'd name them after main characters like Merry or frodo and difinately not Legolas! I would consider a elven boys name though, i never thought of one!

But of course i'm mad cause i'm also considering following elven practise as regards to engagment and marriage, i loved that essay!!

[Deathless One]

I got all my pets before I ever read the books. I love LotR but I don't know if I'd go so far as to name my children with any of those names. I call my cousin a hobbit because he eats all day long. One of my uncles has named every dog he's ever owned with names from the book-Gandalf, Frodo, and Bilbo. I had a friend with a horse named Shadowfax.

[Airerûthiel]

I read a story on the internet about this guy who cashed one of those fake checks you get in the mail sometimes, and his cat was called Hobbit.

I have a pet rat called Aragorn, and my friend has two rats called Arwen and Éowyn.

For a child...hmm I don't know, I think I might choose something like Elentari, although I like the name Galadriel.

Edit: my next door neighbour had a dog called Brego before I knew her.

[ January 08, 2003: Message edited by: Airerûthiel ]

My kids are gonna be called Brego, Anarchy, and Illia, or Luthien, Beren, Elendil

[Airehiriel]

I had a Bala shark that I kept in a tank at work that I named Lorien. I loved her, but alas, she is gone to that great fishy place in the........toilet (thought I was going to say sky, didn't ya?!) I have two parakeets at home, one is Gandalf, the other is Merlin. I have two cats that I had before my LotR days, they are Bo and Jesse. My husband and I are considering getting a dog and we have been debating about some good names. Any ideas? It will be a black (chocolate) lab.

[Elanor]

I agree with the people who lean towards the lesser-known Tolkien names. I haven't had any Middle Earth related pets, but I like the idea of something not too strange, and not too obvious either.

I have always thought I'd like to name a daughter Elanor, but I've got used to using that name for myself now, both here and on other websites. So it might feel a bit strange to call a daughter that. I also like Teleri as a name for a daughter. Where I grew up (Wales) there were several girls called Eleri, so Teleri wouldn't be that different, just enough to have that Elvish ring to it.

I also like the name Elrond for a cat - he would have to be a very elegant and noble cat, no scratching!

[Gorwingel]

If I would have gotten into Tolkien earlier, my dog would have been named Frodo. But I know, I will have a dog named Frodo in the future.

At my school I know a boy named Pippin and he has a brother named Sam. And one day after my Biology teacher had seen FOTR, he brought that up. That they had the same names as two of the Hobbits.

[Nibinlondwen]

I have a pile of dust, i call him "sauron-under-my bed" and we have dog, i wanted to name it Huor. but his name is Grim. I accepted it cuz it was kinda related to Grima.

[Legolas'Beloved]

I like the name Tinuviel for a kid. I have cats right now but none of them are from the Lord of the Rings. But one of my cats are about to have kittens so naming them from characters from LotR is a good idea. Hopefully, she'll have enough. I wouldn't know which ones to names them after. Probably Legolas, Merry, Pippin, Sam, Frodo, Strider, and then Gimli.

[Konarmi]

I named my dog, Dawson.. after Dawson's Creek b/c she would **** herself when she got scared.. when I get my next dog.. I'm going to name him Legolas or Aragorn.. or maybe Gandalf.I named my dog, Dawson.. after Dawson's Creek b/c she would **** herself when she got scared.. when I get my next dog..

[Beruthiel]

I love the name Tinuviel its soo beautiful! But I bet if I were born with that name I would really hate it, like I hate mine now.
The dog I have now is named Shadow, but I like to call him Shadowfax smilies/biggrin.gif I might be getting another dog, not sure what I'd call him/her. Maybe Frodo or Bilbo, but Sauron is pretty cool too. Feanor might be nice too

I have a new betta thats dark blue with orange streaky fins. He looks like a sunset and right now I'm calling him Dusk until I can pick out an elvish name for him. My 5 Basset Hounds are all named after flowers(not my idea!). smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Eldawen of Lorien]

My mom used to have two rabbits named Gandalf and Bilbo. My brother named his rabbit Gandalf because Gandalf is his favorite LotR character. I will have to give my next pet a LotR name.

[thalioniathiel]

I wanted to name my new car but couldn't find a name that seemed to fit. some friends and I were joking around and entering stuff into the name generator here and one person came up with the combination Tater Fish, which brought up some interesting results. but I got such a big kick out of Tater Fish that I decided to call my car Tater Fish. before that I was thinking about PoTaTo, like the way Sam says it to Gollum, or also Fish, just cuz of the incongruity of calling a car Fish. but Tater Fish is the silliest and funniest and I just like it a lot. <grin>
