I think its kinda cruel to give a child a queer name from something which (and yes, im aware the next sentence could potentially crucify me) could just be a fad. Its like when Pokemon were dead popular, some couple actually named their kid Bulbasaur. Can you imagine growing up with a name like Bulbasaur Smith? I mean, come on.

erm, actually i do have a friend called Galadriel, or Gilly for short. Theres also a book called The Great Gilly Hopkins (and no, my friends surname is not Hopkins, its Lizarbu)and the main character is called Galadriel.
There was a guy in my form teachers class a few years back called Peregrin, but as in the falcon. He was a gypsy tho and they all had cool names- his sister was called Star.
I guess a few of them wouldnt sound out of place- Bill for Bilbo, Sam for Samwise, or some like Luin or Eryn (would work for a girl to, its like Aeryn) which is dead pretty, but you could all to easily overdo it.
ArwenBaggins, Maya is a name, just spelt Maia. which is actually tolkienish enough- as in the maia and the istari
