++Maglor
I think Tolkien, may he rest in peace, was a bit drunk when he came up with this name. Seriously what is 'Maglor' it's an awful name and I read once...I believe in letter 292 the Tolkien stated:

I regret the name Maglor, things had been pretty rough in my life and the work wasn't going much anywhere at the time so I got a bit too drunk for my own good and thought I had a level of inspiration. Much too my chagrin I never caught the name and my editor never mentioned anything to me about the atrocity of a name that is Maglor. I really don't remember what I was thinking...if I even was. In retrospect his name matches the character...fairly useless and drab.

I've clearly demonstrated the the professor and I are in harmony on this. Therefore, if you love Tolkien and respect his works it is your duty to eliminate this embarassment of a character.
