Well Cousin Merry, you are the first I have met that knows the explanation.

I am all three. Baggins is a fallohide family, (as is Gamgee). Now, Merry, Pippin, Bilbo, and myself are all descended form the Old Took. Took is an old fallohide family. (Gandalf described me as "fairer than most, and Fallohides are the fairest of the three kinds of hobbits) The Brandybucks are Stoorish and Fallohidish both, so Merry and I are Stoor and Fallohide. Merry, you and Pippin have a baggins in your family tree somewhere, therefore you are a bit Harfoot yourself. Hope that helps.

Love, Frodo
