Hmm, no Faramirs? Wait until next year, I guess [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. As for poor Sauron (who if he lived in the US would probably have a major lawsuit in his future, though against whom I'm not sure) - were they planning to name him Lobelia if he were a girl? (I'm assuming Sauron is a boy). As for Gandalf, it's hard not to picture those babies with wispy little infant beards dangling over their bibs. Merry is fine, though - I know a few girls whose names are spelled that way.

Question: what would the absolute WORST LOTR name for a kid be? I'm thinking that Shelob and Ungoliant would be pretty high on that list, also Groin (No, not the Bored of the Rings character; he's a random ancestor listed in one of the Dwarvish family trees in the appendices).
