I'm having my first child right now... well, not right now. But you know what I mean. I never seriously considered a Middle-Earth, or for that matter a Star Wars name. I'd be worried about my kid being turned off Tolkien/Star Wars because they didn't like their name, or were a little embarassed because of where it came from. I know there's a tendency these days for people to name their kids by anything they can think of. My mum teaches a girl that her parents called Juanna Marie - MarieJuanna, get it?
Did you ever see the Gary Larson cartoon "why people named buddy hate to drive"? You'll know what I'm talking about.
