Hi and welcome to the downs. smilies/smile.gif

A topic of this nature would be more welcome in 'Middle-Earth mayhem' or 'Novices and Newcomers', try searching for it.

[burrahobbit]

My cat is named Midnight!

[Manardariel]

I re-named our neighbours cat into Gandalf... only unfortunaty it´s a girl-cat, so now she´s Sindawen (grey girl).
If I had a pet, I´d go for Lúthien and Arwen for cats, Eowyn, Pippin or Strider for dogs and Sam for a pony (if I wanted one, which I don´t...)

[Meela]

my cats are called Gandalf and elentari (also known as gollum)

we have 7... 10... 12 spiders i think... they are named after actors, with a few random characters thrown in:

Karl Urban (resident mum- named karl cos didnt realise it was sprouting kids at the time)
Karl Jr.
Haldir (who climbed out of the window and never came back)
John Noble (plays denethor for those of u who havent memorised the cast list as i have)
Aragorn
Boromir
David Wenham (i hope u all know he plays Faramir!)

then theres Craig Parker (haldir) under the mantlepiece, Marton Csokas (celeborn) on the stairs, Miranda Dourif and Brad Bernard, who are drawing pins turned honourary spiders (dont ask...), and i think i named the kitchen one Faramir... and Yorgi lives in my room (unrelated to lotr)

if i had a horse id name it... something that i cant remember....

[PeregrinTook]

My fish is Frodo, and the two cats, well, we got them before I'd even heard about LotR (uh, same with the fish, but I can rename him it's not like he anseweres when I call him by his name or anything...), and, so, my cats aren't named after any LotR characters 'cause they're too attached to their names... But I would have called them Pippin and Merry!

[nevlhachien]

i played with somebody else's dog thats name was frodo and he was so cute! if i got another cat(i have 2 already) id name it smeagol b/c i think that is the coolest cutest name. oh another good cat name would be legolas. well i could go on and on about pet names so i better stop. oh i have a fish named bob. maybe i should re-name him something like...........faramir or if anyone can think of any thing cooler for a red beta.

[Meela]

found it! i would name a horse either haetathra or eomer or brego (although that is reserved for my son if i ever have one smilies/smile.gif)

[eleanor_niphredil]

I had two little hamsters called Merry and Pippin, who acted really in their characters until Merry ate Pippin. Now THAT I would love to see in the movie!

[Meela]

lol!!!

[Manardariel]

Ugh. Your hamsters ate each other???????
I don´t want to think about it....... smilies/eek.gif

[eleanor_niphredil]

think about it? try coming home to one and a half hamsters! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Shy Hobbit]

We got all of our pets before I saw LOTR, but if I get a grey horse, his name will be Gandalf.

This isn't a pet, but I'm naming my 68 Mustang Shadowfax. I'm gonna paint it white with the blackout headlights.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Merry ate Pippin? I had a dream where Pippin ate Merry's waistcoat, but that is another tale.
cat: Elbereth/Galadriel/Elrond/Oh any elf names ( i know i know Elbereth is not an elf...)
dog: Any of the hobbit's names/Strider
fish:Feanor
pony: Fatty Lumpkin/Bill/Stybba
hamster/guinea pig etc:Pippin/Merry/Fatty Bolger/Bilbo/any fat, cuddly sounding name

[Vardadurwen]

I don't have any pets, but my aunt had two cats named Bilbo and Frodo. Also, my dad named his french horn Gandalf and my uncle called his '76 Cougar Gollum!

[luin'loki]

When I'm grown up I'm going to get a cat and name it Legolas and a dog and name it Pippin or Merry depending on the personality and a horse and name it after whatever horse Legolas and Gimli ride on in TTT. smilies/biggrin.gif

[nevlhachien]

lol! Merry ate Pippin! that is crazy. my friends dog ate her hamster. so....what should i name my fish? i still can't decide. it has to be a ME name. someone help me!

[Rose Cotton]

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! Now I'm going to have nightmares!

female dog: Rosie
male dog: Samwise, Strider
female cat: Galadriel, Morwen
male cat: Samwise, Faramir

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

im going to get a jack russell terrier and name it Pippin, if i get two itll be Pippin and Merry, and im going to get a cat and name it Elbereth...thats such a catlike name, practically ALL elven/valar names are. And of course if I get a pony it will be called Bill, and if i get a horse it will be called Shadowfax/Brego/Hasufel/Arod depending on what colour it is.

BTW, Gimli and Legolas ride on a horse called Arod. At least they do in the books, im not sure about the movie.

[ February 05, 2003: Message edited by: Horse-Maiden of the Shire ]

[Meela]

hasufel and arod: eomer whistled and called their names in the movies

[elven maiden Earwen]

I have two little black kittens named Eärwen and Arwen(my lil sis named Arwen) smilies/biggrin.gif And people think I'm obsessed smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Tarien Ithil]

Hmmmm....I would have called my budgie Eomer if I'd thought about it at the time! smilies/smile.gif

But my cat's middle name in Undomiel! (just thought you'd like to know that!) smilies/wink.gif

[Anything but Arwen]

Well,not quite the same, but my cat, Simba, is now known as Shinyhouse, because a couple of years ago i had just read the silmarillion, and theres a dictionary of elvish in the back, and i noticed

Silm : Shiny

Bar: House...

And it was so damn stupid that it stuck...

[Anything but Arwen]

Well, my friend has two dogs, called Strider and Boromir, and two cats called Sauron, and,um, Voldemort...

I dont ask...

[mark12_30]

We named a basset-beagle Thorin Oakenshield, once. But after all-out war against him for a month and a half, and ruined rugs, we returned him to the pound. Stiffnecked dwarf! Ruined rugs!! We then got a lab-greyhound who was downright angelic. I wanted to name her "Angelina" but hubby said no. We compromised, and "Lena" won out.

We haven't done any middle-earth pet-names since. Thorin was NOT a good precedent...

[peony_foxburr]

My very first cat strayed into my life the same year I first read LOTR, so naturally had to be named Frodo. (His sister, however, got a very non-Tolkien name of Prudence) They were some sort of Maine Coon Cat/tabby mix with long hair--unfortunately, when the boarding school year ended I was told I couldn't bring them back, and my parents wouldn't let me keep them because my father was (allegedly) allergic to them. The semi-happy ending was that my WONDERFUL aunt (for whom I was named) placed them in a no-kill animal shelter near San Diego and they were adopted. But Frodo did live up to his name in that we said goodbye before I was ready...Since my current menagerie allhave non-ME names, I am plugging them into the Name Generator so they, too, can participate in RPGs and internet forums smilies/smile.gif.

[Yavanna228]

Maybe I will re-name my fish Beren or something. Right now his name is Simon, but, alas, that is not a Tolkien name. smilies/rolleyes.gif Beren the goldfish. Sounds good to me. smilies/smile.gif
Peace

[purplefluffychainsaw]

Loni, where'd u get that dragon??? It's BEAUTIFUL!!!! SOrry, had to come out.

Right... My dragon is called Elennar... mmm... Elennar...

If I ever get a black cat it is going to be Gilmor... ANd no one can stop me!!!

My daemon is Romen. She's a bob cat and she'sEven more Beautiful than Loni's dragon.

Okay, that's enough random stuff for now. Tell me if I've freaked you out yet...

(I had hardly any sleep last night. I'm tried. So just don't say anything. My brain cell hurts... **Dodges Leo**)

[peonydeepdelver]

In one week I'm getting an 8-week old grey Netherland Dwarf rabbit, whom I've decided to name Pip. smilies/smile.gif Since he is a Dwarf rabbit (hey Gimli! smilies/tongue.gif), he won't get much bigger than two pounds, and Pip is short for Pipsqueak and of course Pippin smilies/rolleyes.gif . He's so adorable and loves to cuddle and look around from your shoulder.

[Lasgalen]

I used to have a dog named Pippin and one named Beren. Right now I don't have any LotR dogs. (unless there is an Angelo somewhere that I overlooked smilies/wink.gif smilies/tongue.gif )

[Amanaduial the archer]

I intend to have a pony called Pippin, or Pip, when I'm older. Odd that such a sweet name comes from the name of a falcon- a Peregrin.

[Yavanna228]

Oddly enough, Aman, the word/name Pippin can mean 'apple' or 'a highly admired or very admirable person or thing.' Just another useless tidbit! smilies/biggrin.gif
Peace

[Lasgalen]

Also, Pip is a disease of fowl that is like Bronchitis.

[akhtene]

My pet is a cute little tortoise called AGATHA. My daughter chose that name for her, as her shell looks like some of my agate earrings; as simple as that. Never thought of giving her any Tolkien-related name.
Just the other day re-reading 'Farmer Gilles' I discovered that Agatha was the name of the Farmer's wife, probably as placid and round a lady as my dear tortoise. smilies/biggrin.gif

[ElenCala Isil]

Well, naturally my semi non-exsistant hamster's name is Frodo. I've also named the voices in my head, Smeagol, Deagol, Gollum, Merry, Pippin, Frodalf, Frippin, and Mippin.. the rest are currently unnamed as they don't talk that often. smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[peonydeepdelver]

Oddly enough, Aman, the word/name Pippin can mean 'apple' or 'a highly admired or very admirable person or thing.' Just another useless tidbit!

Yes, and oddly enough, my rabbit loves apples! smilies/smile.gif

[Yavanna Kementari]

Wow it has been a really long time since I last posted! * bows to every one (old and new members alike)*

I don't have a pet named after a character, however, I do have a daughter that bears the name Lalaith. It is elvish for laughter smilies/smile.gif because she makes Aulë and I laugh. This is a cute thread! Welcome to all those who are new hope you enjoy your haunting experience!!
-(~(~> Yavanna

[Silmiel of Imladris]

If I ever go another horse that was young enough to rename I would name it Narfaroth which is elvish for Fire Hunt.

[Alatáriël Lossëhelin]

I'm naming my 68 Mustang Shadowfax

Shy Hobbit: I'm envious. My very first car in 1969 was a 68 Mustang. Alas...sold long, long ago.

*****

I have a minature Schnauser that I named 'Worf' after my favorite Klingon, and I call my Ford truck 'Strider'.

[purplefluffychainsaw]

I might be getting two new kittens and they are SO going to be Elrond and Elros. Only, my mother might not let me name them because I named our other cat. (Tobias - this was ages before I found LotR!) So then it'll have to be their nicknames...

[Mordor_Queen]

well my pets are called frodo, sam, pippin and merry... smilies/evil.gif

[Linteamarthwen]

None of my animales have LOTR names...but I would love to name by babies horse, ShadowFax or Brego. My cousin has a dog named Frodo...it's a Yorkie!!! And if I ever have kids, I want by son to be named Viggo smilies/tongue.gif ...Cool name smilies/cool.gif

[Elrowen Greenleaf]

My dog is Tycho (Star Wars) but I think that my next German Shepherd will be Aragorn or Legolas. When I get a horse someday... Asfaloth or Shadowfax.

[Arathyn]

If I had a pig I would name it Spamwise Hamgee! smilies/tongue.gif

[Elennar Starfire]

My friend has two hamsters called Merry and Pippin. I hope they don't behave like those other ones. Half a hamster...Ewwww.
smilies/eek.gif smilies/eek.gif smilies/eek.gif

[Luinalatawen]

I have five rabbits and I've been meaning to give them all Elvish names that describe each of their demeanors. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to it yet. smilies/frown.gif

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I used to have rats, five of them, and they were called:
Frodo, Sam, Gollem, Rocky and Rambo...
My dogs don't have ME names, I wasn't alone to pick the names, unforunately!

If I ever get a pony, which I certainly will not smilies/wink.gif , I would call him Bill, of course!

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

I want to get a budgie or something and name it Gwaihir. smilies/biggrin.gif Or Crebain. smilies/biggrin.gif

Or Dwimmerlaik, if it's really noisy. smilies/evil.gif

[ July 04, 2003: Message edited by: Horse-Maiden of the Shire ]

[Elennar Starfire]

I have named my fish Wraith and Gollum.
Wraith is a black molly, and Gollum has big eyes.
I was considering Shadow and Fax, but I decided not to use that.

[Eladain Moruviel]

I have a cat named pippin, but that's it

[elfearz1]

I wanted to name my dog some off the wall lotr name that not that many people have heard of, but I had to share the dog with my sisters, so the best I got was Samwise. Oh well, I like sam, so that's good. Well it's actually not even my dog it is just one of the puppies my dog had, so we're not even keeping it anyway. so I guess it doesn't matter. My sister's friend just called last night and told her she got a kitten and named it Frodo. (my sister didn't apreciate it as much as me smilies/rolleyes.gif )

[Meneltarmacil]

My uncle used to have a cat named Pippin...

[Finwe]

My cousin named his black poodle Frodo. It was quite funny because it was a tiny little thing with lots of black curly hair, and kept running into doors and walls. It acted almost exactly like Frodo himself!

[Aredhel Ar Feiniel]

If I ever have a golden retriever for some odd reason as I don't even want one, I'd name it Faramir. If I ever get a pony it's name shall be Stybba. And the first dogs I get in the future will be named Maeglin and Haldir. smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Kaiserin]

I had a dog that died some time ago, and it was called Smeagol. The next time I'll be getting an ugly dog, I'd probably call it Gorbag, or Snaga.
I'm thinking about getting an albino python and calling it Smaug - or Smaug the Golden.
Elessar would be a cute name for a kitty.

[Oliphaunts_Rule]

We have a dog, named Sheila. But every time I call the vets to get an apointment, they think she's named Shelob. I pretty sure they think I'm wierd or something... smilies/evil.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[peonydeepdelver]

It was quite funny because it was a tiny little thing with lots of black curly hair, and kept running into doors and walls.

Hmmmm, the running into doors and walls part seems to be something that Pippin would do. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Orominuialwen]

I would get a pug and name it Elanor smilies/cool.gif. For those of you who are unenlightened as to what pugs are like, they are small dogs with squished in faces & a tendancy to be overweight and snore a lot. They love food. As you can see, they are very Hobbitish.

[Genevieve]

Heehee. Very nice description of pugs. smilies/biggrin.gif. We have two frogs in our pond (if they count as "pets". Well, I guess they don't have to count as pets, I named them anyhow). My mom named one Kermit ( smilies/rolleyes.gif ) and I named one Pippin. Somehow that doesn't seem like a frog name.... smilies/tongue.gif...but oh well.
